The aim of the proposed research is to fill an important gap in fundamental experimental studies of sulphur nitrogen interactions in flames. Such studies are crucial to the development of detailed mechanisms which will be used in the future to represent the effect of sulphur on NOx for a variety of fuels in for example models of low NOx burner design. Temperature and species profiles will be obtained for a range of methane/air and methane/oxygen/argon flames doped with sulphur and nitrogen species in order to highlight the effects of the presence of sulphur on thermal and fuel NOx. LIF, GC, IR and RAMAN spectroscopy techniques will be used to obtain profiles for a range of species eg NO, SH, 02, CH4 and OH. Such profiles will then be used to validate and optimise a detailed kinetic mechanism within uncertainty limits of the elementary reaction kinetic data. The experimental measurements and validation studies will be made accessible via a WWW sight.
