AbstractInterest in the 'flameless oxidation' (FO) concept has escalated over the last decade because it has proved to be an effective method for reducing thermal NOx emissions from, and for improving combustion efficiency in, high temperature thermal processes. Thus far, the main areas of application have been in the steel, chemical and ceramic industries, where the technology has shown that NOx emissions can be lowered significantly while maintaining high efficiency. These advantages and other additional benefits are beginning to attract the attention of the gas turbine community in the power generation and aircraft industry sectors. In general, FO embodies partially premixed and diffusion reaction. Therefore, a validated methodology is needed, which can handle this complication in a manner enabling gas turbine combustor design calculations to be efficiently performed. The present paper concerns the validation of such a methodology and its application to a prototype gas turbine design. It follows a prev...
