A carrier-phase direct numerical simulation (CP-DNS) of pulverized coal combustion in a mixing layer is performed, considering three NOxformation mechanisms (fuel-NOx, thermal-NOxand prompt-NOx). Detailed analyses, including reaction path analysis, chemical timescale analysis, anda prioriandbudget analysesare conducted to investigate the NOxproduction mechanisms and the performance of the flamelet model. Considering the high computational cost of CP-DNS, this work focuses on the early phase governed by devolatilization, where char reactions are less important. The reaction path analyses show that the principal thermal-NO reaction contributes to the net consumption of NO in fuel-bound nitrogen pulverized coal flames, which is essentially different from fuel-nitrogen-free flames. The chemical timescale analyses show that the production rates of NOxspecies are faster than those of major species, which confirms the suitability of the flamelet tables. Thea priorianalyses show that the gas temperature and major/intermediate species can be predicted well by the flamelet model, while the NOxspecies show significant discrepancies in certain regions. Finally, thebudget analysesexplain why the flamelet model performs differently for major/intermediate and NOxspecies.
