Pulse combustor NO/sub x/ as affected by fuel-bound nitrogen
A short series of tests were run using nitrogen-doped liquid fuel in a gasoline fired pulse combustor and a similar capacity steady-state combustor. Four different fuel mixtures were used, white gasoline, and white gasoline doped with 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 weight percent nitrogen in the form of pyridine. The pulse combustor used was a Golden Eagle Model 2610 Dyna-Fog insecticide fog generator. For comparison purposes, a Coleman range-top type burner, modified to include a chimney vent, was used. The Coleman data indicate a decreasing efficiency of conversion of fuel nitrogen to NO/sub x/ as the amount of fuel nitrogen increases. While the pulse combustor NO/sub x/ lies in the same region, there is very little deviation from a constant conversion rate of about 42 percent of the fuel-bound nitrogen. A pulse combustor system might have some advantages for studying the conversion of fuel-bound nitrogen to NO and NO/sub 2/. 4 references, 1 figure.
