Simulation of Nitrogen Emissions in a Low Swirl Burner
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present simulations of a laboratory-scale low swirl burner fueled with hydrogen at atmospheric pressure. The study uses detailed chemistry and transport including a submechanism for computing nitrogen emissions. The simulation shows how the cellular burning structures characteristic of lean premixed hydrogen combustion lead to enhancements in the NOx emissions from these flames. Analysis of the simulation data illustrates the chemical pathways that lead to nitrogen emissions and how they are enhanced within local regions of intense burning.
