Nox Formation In Syngas/Air Combustion, Nazli Asgari Jan 2018

Nox Formation In Syngas/Air Combustion, Nazli Asgari

Theses and Dissertations

Syngas is a reliable energy source derived from the gasification of coal and other solid fuels. The feedstock type and the production process of syngas can affect the composition of syngas. Gas turbines utilizing high hydrogen content (HHC) fuels like syngas for power generation applications need to meet stringent pollutant emission standards, particularly with respect to nitrogen oxides (NOx). For gas turbine conditions, reliable experimental data, especially at high-pressure, is necessary for both generating accurate NOx prediction models and improving reaction pathways regarding the NOx chemistry. In this study, NOx formation in post-flame gases of syngas combustion at different conditions …


Pollutant Formation In Oxy-Coal Combustion, Nujhat Choudhury Jan 2017

Pollutant Formation In Oxy-Coal Combustion, Nujhat Choudhury

Theses and Dissertations

With the increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, researchers are driven to seek cleaner combustion techniques to burn coal for power generation. Oxy-coal combustion is a promising technique to cut down CO2 emissions. This technology requires the introduction of a pure oxygen (O2) stream and a recycled flue gas stream into the boiler instead of air. Flue gas stream generated from the system will be low in volume and highly concentrated in CO2. Thus, the capture and sequestration process will be facilitated. But, one of the concerns of adopting this technology is the altered chemistry of pollutants …
