Diffusion and reaction layer structure and NOx reduction in turbulent natural gas flames. Annual report, January-December 1990
To identify and understand novel methods for in-flame NOx reduction in turbulent natural gas flames. The report involves four primary tasks: (1) to directly measure the NOx emission index levels over a wide range of turbulent flame conditions, (2) to measure the physical structure of the molecular diffusion and chemical reaction processes in turbulent gas flames, (3) to relate this structure to the primary physical processes that are involved in the formation of nitric oxides in turbulent natural gas flames, and (4) to incorporate the above results into simple models and scaling laws allowing accurate correlation and prediction of the overall NOx emission levels in practical natural gas burning applications.
