1998 American-Japanese Flame Research Committee International Symposium, Maui, Hawaii, October 11-15, 1998.

The objective of the work reported here was to characterize the pre-rebuilt combustion performance in the natural-gas-fired, partially oxygen-enriched, aluminum-recycling furnace (Furnace 8) operated by Roth Brothers Smelting Corporation in Syracuse, New York. Measurements of gas temperature and species concentration (O2, CO, NO, and CO2) were made in the exhaust of the furnace. Local gas temperature, species concentration, incident wall radiant flux and furnace wall temperature measurements were also made in the combustion space.
