The relative importance of these three mechanisms in NO formation and the total amount of prompt NO formed depend on conditions in the combustor. Acceleration of NO formation by nonequilibrium radical concentrations appears to be more important in non-premixed flames, in stirred reactors for lean conditions, and in low-pressure premixed flames, accounting for up to 80% of the total NO formation. Prompt NO formation by the hydrocarbon radical-molecular nitrogen mechanism is dominant in fuel-rich premixed hydrocarbon combustion and in hydrocarbon diffusion flames, accounting for greater than 50% of the total NO formation. Nitric oxide formation by the N20 mechanism increases in importance as the fuel-air ratio decreases, as the burned gas temperature decreases, or as pressure increases. The N20 mechanism is most important under conditions where the total NO formation rate is relatively low [1],... 

A sooting flame with high CO and UHC emissions was observed for the baseline case without a porous insert in the combustor. With the inserts in place, NOj emission was reduced, but little change was found for CO and UHC emissions. During the experiments with one porous layer placed at L/D = 1.1 the pressure drop through the insert increased slowly to about 800 Pa gas temperatures decreased by up to 600 K downstream of the inserts. 

Particle resistivity decreases as gas temperature increases due to enhanced volume conductivity. Resistivity may also decrease as gas temperature decreases if surface conditioning agents such as moisture or acid gases are present in the gas stream. Adsorption of these on the particle surface is favored at lower temperatures and provides a conductive path on the particle surface. 

Another widely used method involves evaporation of liquid water injected into the gas stream [36]. An atomizing nozzle could be used to inject water into the gas flow streams of hydrogen and air. The latent heat required for H2O evaporation causes gas temperature decrease, thus a heater around the injection chamber is necessary. In addition, a long pipe equipped with heaters is useful to fully water evaporation, avoiding condensation. In this case humidity control could be difficult as well as the transient response would result very low, limiting the practical application of this solution. 

The role of surface area has also been investigated at steady state conditions. A threshold value was obtained for the surface area. In excess of this value the surface area played a minor role for effective heating, while values lower than the threshold limit the outlet gas temperature decreased to values close to the inlet gas temperature. The threshold value depended on the catalytic activity the higher the activity the lower would be the specific surface area to achieve a light-off. However, for small enough activities, a higher surface area could not compensate for the lack of effective heating rate. 

The results show that CO concentration and gas temperature decrease with injection time increased. The two indications reduced to the fire zone extinction standard of coal mine safety regulation within 4 to 5 days. That is to say air temperature of detection zone decreased to below 30°C, the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 5%, the concentration of carbon monoxide reduced to below 0.001%. Injecting FR-1 polymer liquid foam inhibitor played a significant role in eliminating the high temperature point and preventing coal mine fire. 

In the coal combustion process, mercnry is released mainly as elemental mercury, since the thermodynamic equilibrium favors this state at coal combustion temperatnres (Lu et ah, 2007). In the combustion zone, mercury is vaporized from the coal as elemental mercury (Hg). As the flue gas temperature decreases, elemental mercury is oxidized to form mercuric oxide (HgO), as well as mercuric chloride (HgCy, and mercnrons chloride (Hg2Cl2), snbject to the presence of chlorine in the system. 

A calculation for the first stage of a convection dryer is possible when the heat transfer coefficient a, and the volume specific product surface a as the phase boundary surface are known. In a differential dryer volume Aq - dz the gas temperature decreases in the direction of flow z by di with an approximately constant product surface temperature 1 0. While the gas moisture load increases, the corresponding moisture content of the product decreases (see Chapter 5.4). When neglecting the portion of the heat flow of the moisture load in the gas, the heat flow rate dQ transferred through Aq dz is... 

Speciation of mercury in CFPP flue gases is of interest because the molecular form of mercury influences the ability of air quality control devices to remove mercury from flue gas streams. The relative amounts of each mercury species strongly depends on the concentration of mercury in coal and conditions during combustion such as gas residence time, temperature, and gas composition [3]. For bituminous coal, mercury concentrations can be less than 0.01 ppmv up to 3.3 ppmv [4]. In the combustion zone (1200-1400°C), mercury is vaporized from the coal and exists as elemental mercury (Hg ). As the flue gas temperature decreases. Kg is partially oxidized to form Hg2+ and partitions between gas, liquid or solid phases... 

Superimposed on the graphs in Fig. 6.8 is the reaction profile occurring in a typical three-bed converter. The first intermediate cooling is performed by a heat exchanger, in which the gas temperature decreases without any dilution, while the second cooling is performed by direct quench with cold gas. 

The most commonly used SCR catalysts are composed of metal oxides such as titania and vanadia. These are called base metal oxide catalysts to distinguish them from catalysts containing precious metals such as platinum. In base metal oxide catalysts, the vanadium controls the reactivity, but it also catalyzes SO2 oxidation. Therefore, for high-sulfur applications, the vanadium content of the catalyst elements should be minimized (Behrens et al., 1991 A). By reducing the residence time in the catalyst, i.e., increasing the area velocity. SO2 oxidation to SO3 can be reduced. At the lower gas flows associated with lower loads, less SO3 is often generated because the lower gas temperatures decrease SO3 production more than the lower area velocities increase it (Cohen, 1993).
