Abstract

The spatial combustion of turbulent jets in furnace devices is modelled numerically basing on equations for multi-component turbulent reacting gaseous mixtures. The dependencies are obtained for the influence of the secondary air velocity and composition of gaseous components on torch configuration at a diffusion combustion process. The effect of regime parameters on the increase in torch sizes, which arises at the interaction of secondary air with gaseous components, has been elucidated.
