Proceedings: GRI Workshop on Numerical Modeling of Gas Injection into LargeBoilers for NOx Emission Control. Held in Chicago, Illinois on May 16-17, 1996. Report for May-December 1996

摘要

The purpose of the workshop was to provide a forum to exchange information on thestate-of-the-art of numerical modeling of natural gas injection to control NOx emissions from large boilers of different firing design types with an emphasis on coal fired units. The Workshop topic was the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), combustion chemistry, and NOx formation and destruction kinetics, to the secondary injection of natural gas into the upper furnace, with consequential downstream reactions for NOx reduction and possible other events such as CO oxidation. The Workshop objectives included defining the state-of-the-art of modeling, identifying knowledge gaps, defining RD&D needs, defining distinguishing model features, defining model validation methodology, and establishing criteria for reliable use of predicted modeling.
