| Abstract |
The report gives results of a study of the mathematical modeling of the combustion process. It indicates that adequate treatment of thermal radiation is essential and that accurate temperatures are especially important for pollutant predictions since the chemical kinetics are extremely temperature dependent. It describes test cases that were run which combined the Hottel Zone Method with a completely analytical flow and mixing solution: the complexities that arise when this approach is extended to real systems seem to eliminate it as a working tool. The results were used to check the accuracy of several four-flux radiation approximations which are simpler than the Zone Method: although temperature predictions were reasonable, the four-flux approximation failed in predicting the wall radiation fluxes at many locations.
