Prediction of nitric oxide formation in ammonia-doped turbulent syngas jet flames

Nitric oxide formation from fuel-bound nitrogen in turbulent non-premixed flames is investigated. The calculations are performed using the k-epsilon model for turbulence and the Eddy Dissipation Concept for turbulent combustion in conjunction with detailed chemistry from GRI-Mech 2.11. Comparison with previously measured data shows that the radial profiles for nitric oxides are spread inaccurately, but yields negligible discrepancies for integrated values.
