16.1 Introduction
When a fossil fuel is burned, oxygen in the air chemi-
cally reacts with combustible elements of the fuel to
produce heat. Since nitrogen is nearly inert, it is mainly
a diluent that carries away some of the energy released
during the combustion process and produces pollutants.
Oxygen-enhanced combustion has been considered as
an attractive alternative in order to increase efciency,
to reduce volume of the ue gas, to lower emissions of
NO
x
and CO

, and to improve heat transfer and ame
stability characteristics. With decreasing costs inv ...
