The more efficient the combustion, the hotter it is, and the more NOx is formed. Nothing to do with incomplete combustion. Nitrogen doesn't combust.

- Cogito 7y agoMakes sense - it's not incomplete combustion but rather atmospheric contamination that allows for NOx products, and the amount of those is dependent on heat of combustion. Thanks!
- selectodude 7y agoThere's a not insignificant amount of nitrogen in the fuel itself, as well.
