Description: Cold Flow Modeling was used to study mixing and interaction between two nonparallel jets confined in a cylindrical duct using flow visualization techniques. This study has direct relevance to time kilns where Non-Condensable Gases (NCG) are burned in a separate burner. Craya-Curtet number (Ct), Reynolds number (Re) and angle of the NCG nozzle with respect to the duct axis (alpha) were used to characterize the effect of a separate NCG burner on flame patterns in time kilns. Of the three parameters considered, alpha is the most dominant in determining the mixing and interaction between the two jets. The lateral expansion rate of the jets decreased with either an increase in Ct or an increase in their respective Reynolds numbers. The two jets were found to have longer recirculation zones than corresponding single jets. Re, Ct and alpha are expected to be important parameters in determining flame shape and temperature.
