摘要
The analysis of the combustion process and NOx emission in a gas-fired regenerative industrial furnace has been carried out numerically. The effect of the additive, methanol (CH3OH), to the fuel on the NOx emission is studied. A moment closure method with the assumed 8 Probability Density Function (PDF) for the mixture fraction is used to model the turbulent non-premixed combustion process in the furnace. The combustion model is based on the assumption of instantaneous full chemical equilibrium. The P-1 model is chosen as the radiation model, and the Weighted-Suni-of-Gray-Gases Model is used to calculate the absorption coefficient. The numerical results showed that the use of CH3OH is effective in the reduction of NOx in a regenerative industrial furnace. The mechanism of NOx reduction by the use of CH3OH is also discussed.
