Development of prediction methods for NOx emission is very important for the modern combustion system design. This study shows the development and application of chemical reactor network(CRN) for the methane-air lean-premixed combustion. The CRN development is based on results from CFD analysis for a test gas turbine combustor. The predictions of NOx in methane-air lean premixed combustion are carried out by using CHEMKIN code with GRI 3.0 methane-air combustion mechanism. The calculated results are compared with experimental data for a validation of the CRN. The effect of various loads and atmosphere temperature on NOx emissions are investigated.
