Nitric Oxides in the Gas Turbines: formation and Remedial Measures.

Attention is concentrated on the excessive emission of nitric oxides. The discussion of the kinetics of nitric oxide formation and the factors of influence supplies the starting points for remedial measures. These include the uniformity of temperature distribution, the period of reactions, the maximum temperatures and the possibilities of influencing the reaction progress of the nitric oxide formation. In particular, those gas turbine processes are described which may be expected to yield very small emissions of nitric oxides.
