其他摘要：Combustion of natural gas in air in a utility boiler is simulated by means of a finite volume approach, using a Reduced Reaction Scheme and Eddy Break Up concepts. Results are presented for a turbulent diffusion flame, under operational conditions and in full size, including heat transfer by conduction/convection and radiation. Preliminary results only are presented and a limited comparison with experimental results is made due to the scope of the task which involves a. facility in service. Nevertheless, results are considered satisfactory, although there are indications that it is necessary to continue refining the mixing and radiation models for better malching with operational conditions.
