NO formation in high pressure premixed flames: Experimental results and validation of a new revised reaction mechanism

This paper presents an experimental and modelling study of NO formation in high pressure premixed flames. Experiments were performed in a high-pressure counterflow burner in which laminar premixed CH4/air flames were stabilised at equivalence ratios of E.R = 0.7, 1 and 1.2 and for pressures varying from 0.1 to 0.7 MPa. We report quantitative NO mole fraction profiles measured by Laser Induced Fluorescence. The effects of pressure and equivalence...
