Nitric Oxide Production in Laminar and Turbulent Diffusion Flames.

Abstract

An analysis of the production of Nitric Oxide in laminar and turbulent diffusion flames has been carried out taking advantage of the large activation energy of the NO producing reactions. In laminar diffusion flames the NO production takes place in a thin-high temperature region adjacent to the thin reaction zone for the main reaction. The mass of NO produced per unit flame surface and time is calculated in terms of the main characteristic of the Burke-Schumann thin flame solution. The NO production rate in turbulent diffusion flames is related to the probability density function for an inert species diffusing through the mixing region. (Author)
