The ombustion of ol shifts to urbn res, the ountry hs lso shifted from produes vrious pollutnts, suh s oides of rbon (O), oides of sulphur (SO), oides of nitrogen (NO) using trditionl biomss nd wste to relying on other nd prtiultes.these pollutnts degrdes the energy soures, inluding fossil fuels. Indi is strongly environmentl qulity by using id rin,ozone hole fossil fuel dependent nd ol is the mjor fossil fuel in depletion nd limte hnge. limte hnge ffets Indi. The ountry ws rnked s the third-lrgest globl ol produer, onsumer, nd importer of ol in griulture, eosystem, humn helth nd hbitt of the entire living beings. Hene it is the responsibility of these, nd ol plys pioneer role in the power setor. industries to hek these emissions nd keep them to miniml level. Fly-sh prtiultes n be removed by Due to growing energy demnd dependene on ol is fitting eletrostti preipittors nd SO by instlling inresing dy by dy.

During the problems with our mining industry ombustion of ol ombustion proess in ol-fired power plnt, nitrogen produes emissions of Nitrogen (NO&NO ) ommonly from the ol nd ir is onverted into nitri oide (NO) nd nitrogen dioide (NO referred to s NO whih uses hrmful environmentl ); together these oides of nitrogen re ommonly referred to s NO. problems suh s id rin nd smog. In this rtile mthemtil model bsed on dimensionl nlysis is developed to estblish the reltionship between boiler opertionl prmeters nd Nitrogen oides (NO) formtion. Dimensionl nlysis works on the proper. DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS Dimensionl nlysis is mens of simplifying physil problem by ppeling to dimensionl homogeneity to redue the number of relevnt vribles []. It is bsed on seletion of prmeters ffeting the proess (NO the ukinghm i-theorem. Dimensionl nlysis works on the proper seletion of prmeters ffeting the formtion).it opertes on the dimensions of the seleted proess (NO formtion).it opertes on the dimensions of prmeters rther thn their vlues. In dimensionl the seleted prmeters rther thn their vlues. In nlysis, it is not neessry to identify detils of the dimensionl nlysis, it is not neessry to identify detils tul ombustion equipment e.g. its design, of the tul ombustion equipment e.g. its design, ombustion ir distribution system, positions of ombustion ir distribution system, positions of burners, burners, et. nd wht will be the effet on ombustion et. nd wht will be the effet on ombustion of fuel if of fuel if prmeters like humidity hnges; All these prmeters like humidity hnges; All these effets re refleted in the model through mesured vlues of effets re refleted in the model through mesured quntities tht re used to build up the model. vlues of quntities tht re used to build up the model. The eperiment is bsed on on-line mesurements of seleted opertionl prmeters for the given boiler. Key Words: dimensionl nlysis, nitrogen oides. INTRODUTION ol is the mjor fossil fuel in Indi nd plys key role in the energy setor []. ol meets bout % of the ommeril energy needs nd bout 7% of the eletriity.mathematial MODELLING Y DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS Aording to ukinghm pi theorem if problem involves n relevnt vribles & m independent dimensions then it n be redued to reltionship between n m non-.. dimensionl prmeters, IRJET.NET- All Rights Reserved ge 87 n m Aordingly the prmeters seleted s input vribles re s follows:
