✦ Synopsis

A scaling law for the emission of a pollutant from a combustion furnace is proposed and its adequacy is examined experimentally. Factors affecting the emission of a pollutant were selected and the scale effect on these factors was determined. It was found that the flow pattern and the micro and macro mixing times have to coincide in the scale-up to maintain a constant emission level. A scaling law for constant residence time was derived to keep the micro and macro mixing times constant. This scaling law was applied to a practical burner and a cube-root law was deduced. The adequacy of this scaling law was confirmed by NO, emission data for three practical burners of different types.
