Burning Pure Oxygen vs. "Air"
We all know fire loves oxygen, so I was wondering what would happen to efficiency and emissions if one was to specifically burn pure oxygen rather than ambient air. Would the pureness of the oxygen allow for a more complete burn, resulting in higher efficiency and less emissions? Would the lack of other molecules (e.g. nitrogen) make for a less polluting engine (i.e. no NOx)?
