Abstract:
A method of improving fuel efficiency in combustion chambers for simultaneously enhancing combustion of hydrocarbon fuels while inhibiting nitrogen oxidation comprising introducing a mixture of vaporous metallic compounds via a vaporous transport into the flame zone of a combustion chamber substantially homogeneously, such that said mixture is held by gases in the flame zone before and during the combustion of the fuel, and the mixture is thereby ionized prior to or during said combustion, and the ionized mixture of compounds contains about 15 micrograms of platinum, about 4 to 5 micrograms of rhodium, about 7 micrograms of rhenium, about 11 micrograms of molybdenum, about 15 micrograms of aluminum and about 4 micrograms of ruthenium per kilogram of fuel.
