304 Oxygen-Enhanced Combustion
since the fuel is not fully combusted. At fuel-lean con-
ditions, NO increases, while CO decreases. Again, the
fuel efciency is reduced because the excess oxidizer
carries heat out of the process. In order to minimize
both CO and NO
x
, the combustion system should be
operated near stoichiometrically, which also maxi-
mizes fuel efciency.
