Abstrakt: In this paper, the effects of different burner configurations on the characteristics of flameless combustion were evaluated by comparing the temperature field, NOx, OH, and H2CO at different burner inlet velocity and angles through a combination of experimental and numerical simulations. The results show that increasing the burner inlet angle and gas velocity is imperative in achieving the flameless combustion, increasing the re-circulation rate in the furnace, making the temperature distribution in the furnace uniform, and reducing the emission of NOx at the end of the furnace. During the simulation of flameless combustion, it was found that OH radicals and H2CO radicals were well correlated with the reaction exothermic zone, and the Reynolds number was positively correlated with the re-circulation rate in the furnace. With the increase of Reynolds number, the entrainment rate of flue gas increases, and the combustion state is closer to flameless combustion. When re-circulation rate Kv >2, combustion becomes flameless. Through the summary analysis of the data, it can be found that there is a critical Reynolds number for the burner to achieve flameless combustion, and flameless combustion occurs only when the Reynolds number is greater than 1.0·104.
