Carbon Emissions and Control

This lecture covers the calculation of emission rates using emission factors and activity levels, mechanisms of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbon emissions from combustion, the fuel/air ratio in combustors, and the formation of soot. It also discusses the methods for estimating emissions, examples of possible units for activity, reasons for incomplete combustion, and the composition of combustion products. The lecture delves into the relationship between concentration of combustion products and the relative air/fuel ratio, as well as the factors influencing the composition of products in fuel-lean combustion.
