Analysis of chemical and physical mechanisms leading to the formation of NOx in flames burning natural gas

The chemical and physical mechanisms leading to the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbonaceous particles (soot) in laminar coflow flames will be investigated and analyzed on a numerical basis. For this purpose, the numerical code released as deliverable D3.1 will be adopted, in conjunction with the detailed kinetic mechanisms released as deliverable D1.1-D1.3. The comparison with the experimental data available from WP6 will be exploited.
