Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is usually consumed in large scale furnaces, e.g., those of power plants. Experience shows that its combustion produces large amount of NOx emission. In present study, a large scale heavy fuel oil fired furnace is numerically simulated to investigate different possible solutions for NOx reduction. In this regard, a computational framework is firstly designed benefiting from the researches reported previously in literature. The results of this framework are then compared with available measurements to evaluate the accuracy of current designed computational framework. Second, the influences of a number of different controlling parameters are studied carefully to improve...
