Abstract A comprehensive combustion code, PCGC-3, is used to simulate the flow, combustion, and NO pollutant formation processes in a 85 MWe coal-fired utility boiler. The code is used to predict NO emissions from the boiler under various operating conditions. The conditions tested in this study are: over-fire air, % excess air, and burner tilt. Code predictions are compared with effluent NO measurements made in this boiler. These comparisons show good agreement between model predictions for some observed trends, and demonstrate that the computer code is a useful tool which can provide insights into boiler operation. Comparisons which do not show the correct trend suggest that a finer grid resolution is required to correctly predict some trends.
