TLDR
In this article, a special form of combustion, called flameless oxidation, is presented, where temperature peaks can be avoided at flameless oxidations, and thermal NO-formation is largely suppressed, even at very high air preheat temperatures.About:

Turbulent premixed combustion: Flamelet structure and its effect on turbulent burning velocities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used direct numerical simulation (DNS) to predict the flamelet structure and the burning velocity of premixed turbulent combustion and showed that the results were valid even for highly turbulent flames.
Journal ArticleDOI
The science and technology of combustion in highly preheated air
TL;DR: In this article, the possibility of low nitric oxide emission from highly preheated air combustion is intensively discussed, with the aim of maximizing the energy saving brought by a high rate of heat recirculation in generic industrial furnances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of turbulent non-premixed jet flames in a diluted hot coflow
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental burner is used to simulate the heat and exhaust gas recirculation applied to a simple jet in a hot coflow, and the results show substantial variation in the flame structure and appearance with the decrease of the oxygen level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of non-adiabatic heat-recirculating combustors
TL;DR: In this article, a simple first-principles model of counter current heat-recirculating combustors is developed, including the effects of heat transfer from the product gas stream to the reactant stream, heat loss to ambient, and heat conduction in the streamwise direction through the dividing wall (and heat transfer surface).

A review of the combustion and emissions properties of advanced transportation biofuels and their impact on existing and future engines
TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental combustion and emissions properties of advanced biofuels are reviewed, and their impact on engine performance is discussed, in order to guide the selection of optimal conversion routes for obtaining desired fuel combustion properties.

The numerical computation of turbulent flows
Brian Launder,D. B. Spalding +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the applicability and applicability of numerical predictions of turbulent flow, and advocate that computational economy, range of applicability, and physical realism are best served by turbulence models in which the magnitudes of two turbulence quantities, the turbulence kinetic energy k and its dissipation rate ϵ, are calculated from transport equations solved simultaneously with those governing the mean flow behaviour.

Flammability characteristics of combustible gases and vapors
TL;DR: In this article, a summary of the available limit of flammability, autoignition, and burning rate data for more than 200 combustible gases and vapors in air and other oxidants, as well as empirical rules and graphs that can be used to predict similar data for thousands of other combustibles under a variety of environmental conditions are given.
