✦ Synopsis
The length o[ the heating flame in a coke oven flue is governed only by the mixing o[ the gas antt the air, but the [actors that govern such mixing are not clear. This model work is an attempt to establish these for the case o[ rich (coke oven) gas firing. It has been found that a wide range o[ flame lengths can be obtained for the same flow rates by employing burners and airports of different cross sectional area. A scale theory is put [orward to render the model results applicable to actual systems. The theory has been roughly confirmed [or a particular case, by carrying out fnll scale trials in an operating coke oven flue. Work on further confirmation is in hand at Sheffield.
