This work analyses auto-igniting combustion processes and studies whether the predictions of ignition delay and nitrogen formation based on mixing statistics are possible. Mixing fields were available from cold flow mixture data. The mixing behavior of a single central injection lance with and without additional concentrically injected carrier-air was investigated. In the combustion experiment the isothermally characterized operation points were investigated under gas-turbine relevant conditions.     «
