The present research has treated important parts of the modeling of combustion and NOx formation in a biomass grate furnace. All parts resulted in useful approaches. For all these approaches successful first steps were taken. Currently, more research is underway to obtain improved results NH3 production is measured in the grid reactor with the tunable diode laser, detailed kinetics will be attached to the front propagation model, including the measured NH3 release functionalities, and for the turbulent combustion model heat losses are taken into account. In addition, the fuel layer model has to be coupled to the turbulent combustion model in the furnace.

Infinitely Fast Reaction In this representation, one or more chemical reactions are specified, but they are assumed be infinitely fast. In modeling of combustion processes, this approach is known in terms of the mixed is burned assumption. Typically this approach involves one-step description, where reactants are converted directly to final products. An example is the one-step oxidation of a hydrocarbon fuel,...

Laser-based spectroscopic probes promise a wealth of detailed data--concentrations and temperatures of specific individual molecules under high spatial resolution--necessary to understand the chemistry of combustion. Of the probe techniques, the methods of spontaneous and coherent Raman scattering for major species, and laser-induced fluorescence for minor species, form attractive complements. Computational developments now permit realistic and detailed simulation models of combustion systems advances in combustion will result from a combination of these laser probes and computer models. Finally, the close coupling between current research in other areas of physical chemistry and the development of laser diagnostics is illustrated by recent LIF experiments on OH in flames.

The great advantage of the Troe approach is that one can obtain good representations of the data using relatively simple analytic formulae, an important consideration in the modelling of combustion or atmospheric processes where rate coefficient determination has to be rapid. A disadvantage of this method is that it is not always possible to extract meaningful parameters from rate data or to assess the validity of theoretical models.
