Project Description:
Proposes to research the feasibility of developing a low NOx porous ceramic burner design that will meet the emission requirements, mitigate the use of post-combustion emissions control technologies, and a practical burner shape that produces higher radiation heat release rate than the existing free flame burners.
Proposed Outcomes:
§ A porous ceramic burner will be fabricated with R-type thermocouples embedded at the interfaces of different porosity ceramics. A radiance measurement system will be constructed.
Anticipated Benefits:
§ Potential to increase the efficiency and reduce the NOx emissions from boilers used for power generation in California.
