Which risk increases in a gas turbine combustor due to fuel-air mixture variations?

💡 Explanation

Increased nitrogen oxide emissions occur because the *Zeldovich mechanism* is highly temperature-sensitive. Therefore, regions of stoichiometric combustion produce excessive $NO_x$, rather than forming mostly $N_2$ and $O_2$, because of localized temperature spikes in the diffusion flame.
