Some Observations on Flows Described by Coupled Mixing and Kinetics

  • Chapter
Emissions from Continuous Combustion Systems

Abstract

This paper presents some aspects of analytical formulations and numerical solutions pertaining to modeling of practical combustion systems. Emphasis is on the gas turbine combustor problem but related flows involving turbulent mixing and reaction kinetics are discussed. The concepts are oriented toward the description of the origin and disposition of species relevant to combustion efficiency and pollutant emissions.
