Zusammenfassung:Two of the gaseous oxides of nitrogen, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), collectively known as NOx in a pollution context, are emitted from combustion processes as trace species. A rapid generation of NO in the reaction zone is in certain cases indicated by positive intercepts, labelled 'prompt' NO by Fenimore (1971). The paper discusses the formation of NOx in flames, the pollution significance of prompt NO, and practical means of controlling NOx. Prompt NO production involves chemical reactions which are much faster than the Zel'dovich (1946) ones, so that turbulence-kinetics interactions are relatively unimportant.
