Modeling and simulation of a low now burner.
This study was performed during my MSc internship at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour. it was following a preliminary study that was done during my final year internship at ENSGTI and which was devoted to the setting up of low Nox Burners on the boiler of Baupte, Sanofi Bio-Industries plant.

This study was perfomed unsing CFD (Fluent); this was the first contact with CFD and the influence of the opening angles of the blades that were giving the rotation motion to the combustion air was analysed.
Influence of the opening angle of the blades on the productions
of NO (left), CO (right), and unburned fuel (bottom)
Influence of the opening angle of the blades on
the shape of the flames and on the apparition of hot spots
