Abstract
There is international effort focused on the reduction of gaseous emissions that contribute to global warming and atmospheric pollution. Ships are responsible for a very important portion of this pollution contributing to environmental degradation. Exhaust from marine diesel engines and marine gas turbines include air pollution in the form of nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, unburned hydrocarbons and particulate matter. These have been proven to have a negative impact on health and the environment. There are several ways of studying these emissions, with the purpose of understanding the formation of them. By analyzing the NOx formation in the gas turbine combustor, we can see that the NOx formation zones correspond to that high temperature zone inside the combustor, and after that we can develop solutions for the reduction of these temperatures.
