Abstract
A new chemical reactor network model is developed to predict the emission of nitrogen oxides in an industrial combustion chamber operating on liquefied petroleum gas. The boundary conditions and operating parameters used for this model are typical operating conditions of an industrial combustion chamber. The global mechanism is developed by GRI-MECH 3.0 in the UW code. The model predictions are compared with experimental data. The chemical reactor network model provides an accurate estimation of nitrogen oxide emission.
