Original Abstract

The aim of present work is to study experimentally the influence of several design factors of an air-staged burner on the formation of nitrogen oxides. Priority is however always given to the functionality of the burner (namely flame stability). The experiment is carried out at an up to date experimental facility for testing diffusion gas burners. The experiment is supported by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of primary and secondary air flow. Importance of NOx reducing techniques for industrial processes is demonstrated. The design of the experiment is described from its preparation, through planning, followed by implementation and subsequent evaluation. Since the cost of burner testing is high, the importance of properly designed experiment and statistical data analysis grows. The application of these statistical methodologies leads to the determination of key burner design parameters that control its performance.
