Abstract
Methods for estimating emissions of oxides of nitrogen from combustion processes have been developed. Nitrogen oxide formation is related to temperature or heat supplied in the combustion process; and temperature or heat supplied is related to exhaust gas volume as a function of per cent CO2 in the exhaust gas. The formation of nitrogen oxides is related to fuel consumption by a power function which is linear on a log-log plot. Equations and nomographs have been derived by means of which the pounds of nitrogen oxides per hour emitted from a combustion process may be estimated.
