A Numerical Study on the Effect of CO Addition on Flame Temperature and NO Formation in Counterflow CH4/Air Diffusion Flames
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A numerical study was carried out to understand the effect of CO enrichment on flame temperature and NO formation in counterflow CH4/air diffusion flames. The results indicate that when CO is added to the fuel, both flame temperature and NO formation rate are changed due to the variations in adiabatic flame temperature, fuel Lewis number, and chemical reaction. At a low strain rate, the addition of carbon monoxide causes a monotonic decrease in flame temperature and peak NO concentration. However, NO emission index first slightly increases, and then decreases. At a moderate strain rate, the addition of CO has negligible effect on flame temperature and leads to a slight increase in both peak NO concentration and NO emission index, until the fraction of carbon monoxide reaches about 0.7. Then, with a further increase in the fraction of added carbon monoxide, all three quantities quickly decrease. At a high strain rate, the addition of carbon monoxide causes increase in flame temperature and NO formation rate, until a critical carbon monoxide fraction is reached. After the critical fraction, the further addition of carbon monoxide leads to decrease in both flame temperature and NO formation rate.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
