Interactive comment on “Combustion efficiency and emission factors for US wildfires” by
The manuscript presents so far unpublished high-quality aircraft measurements of CO2, CO and CH4 from three large wildfires and one prescribed fire in mixed conifer forests of the northwestern United States. From these measurements, the author calculates emission factors (EF) for these species and analyses the relationship between observed modified combustion efficiency (MCE) and EFCH4. The aut...
متن کاملCombustion efficiency and emission factors for wildfire-season fires in mixed conifer forests of the northern Rocky Mountains, US
In the US, wildfires and prescribed burning present significant challenges to air regulatory agencies attempting to achieve and maintain compliance with air quality regulations. Fire emission factors (EF) are essential input for the emission models used to develop wildland fire emission inventories. Most previous studies quantifying wildland fire EF of temperate ecosystems have focused on emiss...
متن کاملDetermination of levoglucosan in biomass combustion aerosol by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection
Atmospheric particulate matter can be strongly affected by smoke from biomass combustion, including wildfires, prescribed burns, and residential wood burning. Molecular source tracer techniques help determine contributions of biomass smoke to particle concentrations if representative source profiles are available. Various wood smoke source profiles have been generated for residential wood burni...
متن کاملAerosol single scattering albedo dependence on biomass combustion efficiency: Laboratory and field studies
Single scattering albedo (ω) of fresh biomass burning (BB) aerosols produced from 92 controlled laboratory combustion experiments of 20 different woods and grasses was analyzed to determine the factors that control the variability in ω. Results show that ω varies strongly with fire-integrated modified combustion efficiency (MCEFI)—higher MCEFI results in lower ω values and greater spectral depe...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Reduction of NOx Emission by High Temperature Air Combustion Technology
A numerical study on Nox emission from an industrial furnace utilizing high temperature air combustion (HTAC) technology was done. The basic concept of the regenerative burner including heating a diluting of fresh air by flue gas was implemented in a two-dimensional furnace model. Governing equations in conjunction with a turbulence model and an overall chemistry model were solved using an impl...
