In the turbulent diffusion flame, however, the mixing process becomes complex since the turbulent diffusion takes dominant roles. In light of this, the influence of diluents on the highly preheated air combustion still needs further investigations. 50 100 150 200 250 300 Distance from Air Inlet [ m m ] Since the N O x emission mainly depends on the flame temperature, the influence of diluents on the N O x emission has the same tendency as on the temperature. It should point out that both thermal-NOx and prompt-NOx are hardly formed when the flame temperature is lower than about 1800 K. A s can be seen, the N O x emission tends to be zero when the oxygen concentration is as low as 4 vol%.
