5 Reid, Charles; Thornock, Jeremy; Smith, PhilipTemporally and spatially resolved calculations of a reacting coal jet using large eddy simulations (LES) and direct quadrature method of moments (DQMOM)2009In a turbulent combusting coal jet, accurate prediction of the particle and velocity distributions are critical for predicting flame characteristics and ultimately heat flux in a coal-fired boiler. The present work combines a state-of-the-art particle model and turbulent-reacting flow model to provi...
6 Venkateswaran, Prabhakar; Marshall, Andrew; Bahous, Edouard; Seitzman, J. Lieuwen, TimTurbulent flame speeds of high H2 mixtures2011This paper describes turbulent global consumption speed, ST,GC, measurements of H2/CO mixtures at atmospheric conditions. The turbulent flame properties of these mixtures are of strong practical interest due to the rising interest in expanding the role of coal-derived syngas fuels in the current ene...
7 Chen, Shirley; Erazo, Jaime A. Jr.; Hendrix, Bailey; Wendel, KirkUltra-low NOx burner arrangements in furnace revamps: utilization of CFD to prevent and mitigate adverse furnace flow patterns2011As NOx emission regulations continue to become more stringent, the need to retrofit existing furnaces with Ultra-low NOx burner technology will continue to rise. Ultra-low NOx emissions from process burners are typically achieved by combining staged combustion with internal flue gas recirculation. A...
8 Payne, R.; Akiyama, T.; Witkamp, J.; Delft, J.Studies on the pollutant emission characteristics of a number of oil-fired industrial process burners and the relationship to firing conditions1980
9 Goh, S. F.; Gollahalli, S. R.Soot and OH distribution at the smoke point of diluted propylene-hydrogen mixture diffusion flames in cross-flow2004An experimental study of smoke point diffusion flames in cross-flow is presented from the perspective of understanding the role of hydroxyl (OH) radicals and oxygen molecules on soot concentration. The laser induced incandescence (LII) and the laser induced fluorescence (LIF) techniques were employe...
10 Zhang, Jingwei; Kelly, Kerry; Eddings, Eric G.; Wendt, Jost O. L.Oxy-coal combustion: effects of PO2 on coal jet stability in 02/C02 environnments2009The purpose of this research is to understand and predict the effects of near burner zone environment on ignition characteristics of a turbulent axial pulverized coal jet. In oxy-coal combustion this environment consists of O2 and CO2 (instead of N2). Ultimately the experiment will provide data for ...
11 Varner, Vance; Fox, Scott; Schwartz, Robert; Wozniak, RussellPressure-assisted flare emissions testing2007Due to increased concern regarding air emissions of highly-reactive volatile organic compounds (HRVOC) in the Greater Houston area, emissions from various sources in the area are now subject to much more scrutiny by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. One potential source of emissions is ...

A. (2007). Scaling relations for flare interactions, flame lengths, and crosslighting requirements in large flare. American Flame Research Committee (AFRC).
13 Werkelin, Johan; Hupa, MikkoTowards better prediction of ash related problems in biomass combustion via improved fuel analysis2009Future biomass combustion systems should be fuel flexible. To avoid operational problems such as fouling, slagging, fluidized bed agglomeration, and corrosion, the relation between ash behaviour and fuel composition needs to be known. Ash-related problems are strongly coupled to phase transitions. M...

15 Parente, A.; Galletti, C.; Tognotti, LeonardoPredicting no formation in flameless combustion regime2009The direct implementation of large kinetic mechanisms for the prediction of pollutant emissions into CFD codes is still unfeasible, due to computer time limitations which become particularly relevant when considering the typical scale of the industrial applications. Therefore, simplified modeling ap...
16 American Flame Research Committee (AFRC)Preregistered meeting attendees - American Flame Research Committee International Symposium Industrial Process Combustion Technology1980
17 Dahm, Werner J.A.Scaling relations for flare interactions, flame lengths, and crosslighting requirements in large flare fields2007Flare fields typically consist of many closely-spaced flares arranged in parallel rows. Each flare in the field produces an axisymmetric buoyant jet flame that for a limited vertical distance develops essentially independent of the other flames in the field. However, at a distance above the flare ti...
18 Pagot, P. R.; Grandmaison, E. W.; Sobiesiak, A.Some characteristics of multi-jet flares2004Results of a test program with a multi-jet, high momentum burner simulating many of the features found in offshore flare systems are described. Previous work (Pagot et al., 2003) has given background on a hot and cold model study for this type of flare. The features of the flare flames are described...
19 Seebold, James G.; Gogolek, Peter E.G.; Pohl, John; Schwartz, RobertPractical implications of prior research on today's outstanding flare emissions questions and a research program to answer them2004The external combustion of hydrocarbon gas mixtures by any means, including flaring, literally manufactures and subsequently emits to the atmosphere traces of all possible molecular combinations of the elemental constituents present either in the fuel or in the air including the ozone precursor high...
20 Wendt, Jost O. L.Oxy-coal combustion for retrofit: challenges and opportunities2009This paper is concerned with Oxy-Fuel Combustion, a process for the control of carbon dioxide from a range of solid fuel combustion processes. The focus is on the applicability of this technology for retrofit and hence on entrained flow combustors rather than on circulating fluidized bed systems. Fi...
21 Thumuluru, Sai Kumar; Lieuwen, TimOH- PLIF studies of acoustically forced swirl flames2009Lean premixed combustors are highly susceptible to combustion instabilities, caused by coupling of heat release fluctuations with combustor acoustics.

23 Damico, R.Optimization of an Elevated Staged Flare for a Large Gas PlantIn recent years, the newly designed and constructed gas plants have become increasingly larger in size, with a consequent huge increase in the required flaring capacity. At the same time there is the necessity to have smokeless flaring, also at very low flow rates when compared with the total design...
