List combustion factors affecting VOC emissions. Explain your answers.

Answer and Explanation:

VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds are the emissions in the form of gases from some specific liquids or solids. These includes a various chemicals, some of which includes adverse effects on health in short-term and long-term. These emissions originate from furnaces and boilers in industries.

Factors that affect the VOC emissions are

Combustion Efficiency Time of residence: high residence time at high temperature of combustion gives low VOC emissions as outcome. Temperature of Combustion : Low emissions of VOC results from High temperature of combustion. Mixing of combustion air and fuel in motion with turbulence or turbulent motion: Since partial or incomplete fuel combustion results in high VOC emissions. VOC species like Benzene, etc present in the fuel (combustion fuel).
