Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Emission from Fuels
Emission of Nitrogen Oxides - NOx - with combustion of fuels like oil, coal, propane and more. NOx emissions contribute to eutrophication, acidification and the formation of ground-level ozone.
NOx Emission from Fuels
Calculate Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emissions from fuel combustion. Note that emissions vary widely depending on application temperatures and air/fuel ratios.
Important Notes:
- Higher combustion temperatures increase NOx emissions
- Higher air/fuel ratios increase NOx emissions
- Hydrogen produces zero theoretical emissions, but in practice produces more NOx than natural gas due to high flame temperature
- Catalytic systems on modern vehicles reduce NOx emissions
