Mechanisms of Exhaust Pollutants and Plume Formation in Continuous Combustion.

Abstract

An analytical and experimental study has been conducted to promote an understanding of the processes governing the emission characteristics of continuous combustion power sources and thus provide a basis for reducing adverse environmental effects and for controlling plume signatures resulting from aircraft operation. The study addressed the development and assessment of numerical codes for backmixed flows, the formation of pollutants in backmixed flows, and questions associated with sampling oxides of nitrogen. The backmixed flow selected for study was the opposed jet laboratory combustor (OJC).
