    Development of Low Nox High Performance Industrial Burner. (Adl-Mit-Hauckj

    Uploaded by

    DSG
    The document discusses modeling and experimental work to develop a low NOx industrial burner. Process modeling using computational fluid dynamics and chemical kinetics helped optimize the burner design. Experimental results showed that using a primary equivalence ratio of 1.65, high combustion air temperature, and recirculated flue gases achieved optimum flame configuration and reduced NOx concentrations to below 30 ppm. Isotherm and concentration contour plots from experimental testing validated the computational modeling results.
