A simplified non-linear model of NOx emissions in a power station boiler

When considering NO_x development in power stations, experiments show that its formation is slower than the combustion process. Therefore in this paper the modelling of NO_x emissions is decoupled from the combustion process. A NO_x model for Kilroot Power Station in Northern Ireland is then derived from the extended Zeldovich mechanism. The physical parameters in the model are determined from experiments. The comparison of the simulated values with the real measurements is also presented.
