Abstract

Effects of oxidizer inlet velocity on NO emission characteristics of 0.2MW oxy-fuel combustor have been experimentally investigated. The NO formation process in the oxy-fuel combustion is extremely sensitive even for the small fraction of nitrogen in oxidizer. By increasing the oxidizer velocity, flame length is reduced due to the enhanced turbulent mixing. The increased oxidizer velocity also results in the decreased flame temperature through the elevated entrainment rate of the recirculated product and the corresponding NO emission is drastically decreased. Experimental results clearly indicate that the entrained product gases play a crucial role to decrease the temperature at the flame zone and the post flame zone where the thermal NO is mainly formed.
