Shashikanth did measure NOX in SIPGE. > Mrs Parikh ..your findings are in agreement with Mikko Hupa's work: Kapitel 2.3 Kväveoxiderna. [Chapter 2.3 (the) Nitrogenoxides.] Inverkan av vatten och väte i förbränningsprocessen [Effect of water and hydrogen in (the) combustion process], by Docent Mikko Hupa, Åbo Akademi, Finland, source book title: Vattnets roll i förbränningen [Impact of water in combustion], IVA Rapport 324, 27 May 1986, Isbn 91 7082 417 7 ..essence of his theorem: NOx, NitrogenOxides Fuel containing chemically bound Nitrogen decomposes through cyanide, HCN to: ...either: CxHyNz + heat ---> 2 HCN + 3 O2 ---> H2O + 2 CO2 + 2 NO (combustion in oxidizing process environment, NOX is formed) ...or: CxHyNz + heat ---> 2 HCN + O2---> H2 + 2 CO + N2 (thermochemical gasification in reducing process environment, No NOX, N2 is formed instead.) ..myself, I just translated and used some of it, and some more.
