Abstract

Due to the global warming and strict environmental regulations encourages researchers to develop efficient combustion system that produce low level of harmful gases. This article focuses on review of different studies and experiment carried out in the sphere of oxy-fuel and air fuel combustion. In order to compare the results of oxy-fuel and air fuel combustion and find a suitable and efficient combustion system.
