摘　　要：This study investigated the formation and emission characteristics of nitric oxide(NO) from flameless MILD(moderate or intensive low-oxygen dilution) combustion(MILDC) versus traditional visible-flame combustion(TC) in a 30-k W furnace. Both combustion processes were experimentally operated successively in the same furnace, burning natural gas at a fixed rate of 19 k W and the equivalence ratio of 0.86. Numerical simulations of TC and MILDC were carried out to explain their distinction in the measured furnace temperature and exhaust NO emissions. Present measurements of the NO emission(XNO) versus a varying furnace wall temperature(Tw) have revealed, at the first time, that the relationship of XNO ~ Tw was exponential in both TC and MILDC. By analyzing the simulated results, the average temperature over the reaction zone was identified to be the common characteristic temperature for scaling NO emissions of both cases. Moreover, relative to TC, MILDC had a fairly uniform temperature distribution and low peak temperature, thus reducing the NO emission by over 90%. The thermal-NO formation was found to contribute more than 70%-80% to the total XNO from TC while the N2O-intermediate route dominated the NO emission from MILDC.
