Title Mechanisms of NOx formation and control: alternative and petroleum-derived liquid fuels
Date 1981
Description Petroleum-, coal- and shale-derived liquid fuels were burned in a downfired tunnel furnace to assess the impact of fuel properties on the formation and control of NOx emissions. A nitrogen-free oxidant mixture (Ar, C02 , 02) was used to isolate fuel NOx formation. Under excess air conditions fuel NOx correlated well with total fuel nitrogen content for both the petroleum and alternate fuels. Under staged combustion conditions the influence of fuel nitrogen content was much less pronounced but equally highly correlated except in the case of a coal-derived liquid.
