Lean premixed recirculating flow combustion for control of oxides of nitrogenThe objectives of the reported investigation included the demonstration of a system in which combustion can be maintained under very lean conditions. Aspects of pollutant formation and the stability characteristics of the system were studied. An opposed reacting jet model laboratory combustor was employed in the experiments. Results obtained with the aid of an analytical modeling technique based on the computational scheme reported by Gosman et al. (1969) are also presented. The investigation indicates that fuel lean combustion might provide an effective means of achieving low pollutant emission levels.
