Influence of Physical Phenomena on the Formation of Pollutants in Combustion

  • Chapter
Pollutants from Combustion

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASIC,volume 547))

Abstract

Combustion occurs in flames and combustion chambers with direct interaction with advective, diffusive and conductive physical phenomena. The cooperative interaction between physical and chemical phenomena is crucial for building flames. Combustion chambers that are used in industry are designed in order to play with these two kinds of phenomena with the aim of getting the optimal result, under certain constraints, of course. The properties to be optimised are numerous, and due to that, the optimisation process is not straightforward. However, numerical calculation methods can now be of great help since they accelerate the development phase of an industrial application. Among the several physical and mechanical phenomena which closely interact with chemical reactions in practical applications, turbulence is obviously the one which has the strongest impact on the principal features of the reactive flow. The way turbulent structures influence the oxidation process and the formation of hot products and pollutants is still not very well understood although many works have been devoted to this challenging issue.
