Investigation of Critical C/H/N/O Reactions in NOx Formation and Removal inNatural Gas Combustion. Annual Report July 1989-June 1990

摘要

In the present research program, the kinetics of NOx formation and removal incombustion of natural gas are being investigated. The program addresses uncertainties in reaction mechanism and kinetic parameters of NO formation and removal reactions and the coupling of these reactions with the hydrocarbon combustion reactions. During the past year, work has progressed in kinetics experiments to determine the mechanism and kinetic parameters of the reactions CH + N2, C + N2, C + NO and CH + NO.
