Experimental Study of Natural Gas Temperature Effects on the Flame Luminosity and No Emission

Abstract: The flame radiation enhancement in gas-fired furnaces significantly improves the thermal efficiency without significantly affecting the NO x emissions . In this paper, the effects of inlet natural gas preheating on the flame luminosity, overall boiler efficiency, and NO emission in a 120 kW boiler have been investigated experimentally. Flame radiation is measured by use of laboratory pyranometer with photovoltaic sensor. A Testo350XL gas analyzer is also used for measuring the temperature and combustion specie… Show more

“…The haze caused by combustion emissions like particulate matter (PM) has become a serious environmental problem in China. A large amount of smoke, dust and nitrogen oxide (NOX) is emitted from coal and natural gas combustion furnaces [1,2]. It is significant and urgent to investigate the combustion process which emits harmful products into the atmosphere.…”

“…Luminosity contributes considerably to total flame radiation that is the dominant mode of heat transfer in diffusion flames [7]. On that account, flame luminosity and flame radiation heat transfer have been increased by preheating the fuel, adding solid carbon to the fuel, and changing the air-to-fuel flow rate [8][9][10]. Despite the significant effect of C/H on flame luminosity, it has not been fully investigated yet to the best of our knowledge.…”
