Answer and Explanation:
VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds are the emissions in the form of gases from some specific liquids or solids. These includes a various chemicals, some of which includes adverse effects on health in short-term and long-term. These emissions originate from furnaces and boilers in industries.
Factors that affect the VOC emissions are
- Combustion Efficiency
- Time of residence: high residence time at high temperature of combustion gives low VOC emissions as outcome.
- Temperature of Combustion : Low emissions of VOC results from High temperature of combustion.
- Mixing of combustion air and fuel in motion with turbulence or turbulent motion: Since partial or incomplete fuel combustion results in high VOC emissions.
- VOC species like Benzene, etc present in the fuel(combustion fuel).
