Sumario:The study and optimization of Combustion processes has transcended the engineering necessity to become an environmental concern. Recent regulations implement growing restrictions on emissions produced in industries that somehow are connected to this way of obtaining energy, such as power generation, transport (land, sea and air) or even in domestic use. In this phenomenon, equations of Fluid Dynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer and Chemical Kinetics are related, and this makes it a complex issue to tackle with accuracy. In the line of this rising interest, this study is intended to deepen in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics applied to Combustion, by way of the development, verification and testing of an algorithm to solve this type of problems.
