Review of Numerical Studies on NO_x Emission in the Flameless Combustion

Abstract

Today one source of pollution emission in the combustion of fossil fuels is the formation of nitrogen oxides. To solve this problem many technologies have been introduced such as flameless combustion. Flameless combustion is of a great interest since it simultaneously provides higher thermal efficiency together with controlling the pollutant emission such as NOX. In this technology, the preheat temperature of the combustion air must be higher than the auto-ignition temperature of the reactant mixture. In this study, papers showing the numerical studies on the flameless combustion to reduce NOX emission are presented.

Mn‐Fe‐Ce Coating onto Cordierite Monoliths as Structured Catalysts for NO Catalytic Oxidation

“…Nitrogen oxides (NOx), including NO (nitrogen oxides), NO 2 (nitrogen dioxide) and N 2 O (nitrous oxide), are major atmospheric pollutants that cause photochemical smog, acid rain and haze. [1][2][3] More than 90% of emitted NOx from stationary sources is in the form of NO (nitric oxide). [4] The abatement of NOx is a hot topic in the field of environmental catalysis and various techniques have been developed for the elimination of NOx from anthropogenic sources.…”
