Combustion engineers require correct predictions of trends, especially in cases when computational fluid dynamics is applied for troubleshooting, scale-up, or decision support in the design phase. Validation of models by parametric studies and in a large-scale furnace is rare and much needed. This is the primary objective of this work. Similarly, combustion engineers require the prediction of heat loads in specific parts of a boiler or furnace. The second objective of this work is to provide exactly such type of validation for a megawatt-scale burner. Both cases use natural gas fuel. The models applied to perform the predictions are typical of practicing combustion engineers, providing fast turnaround times. The results provide a perspective on the performance of models serving as workhorses in engineering companies.
