N2O calculation
(OP)
Can any body direct me how to calcualte N2O emission from the combustion of fossil fuels.
N2O is one of the Green House Gases.
Fuels we are using are
Coke
Gas Oil
Diesel
Kero
Natural Gas
Refinery Gas
Thanks.

for external and internal combustion sources.

Keep in mind that, as PeterAB pointed out, the resulting concentration is a combination of the incoming N bearing compounds, the temperature of the vessel, the O2 level (in general, you want a reducing zone followed by an oxidizing zone), all of which is very complex in terms of predicting resulting NOx levels.
Having said all of this, if you are really looking for N2O, then I have no experience with this and you can disregard all of the above.

On measuring, both are exprssed as NO2. The later is the only gaseous pollutant with colour: it is the brownish component of the smog layer. Its residence time in the atmosphere is a few days. The natural background average concentration is 5 micrograms/cubm. Urban areas may reach values 30 times as high. NO2 is paramagnetic and is in equilibrium with its dimer N2O4, colourless and diamagnetic.
NOx mixes consist mostly of NO that is released on high-temperature combustion of fossil fuels in power plants and in internal combustion engines. Other sources are fertilizers, gas plants where natural gas is used as turbine fuel for compressors and gas pipelines. NO reacts readily with oxygen to form NO2. At high pressures it disproportionates into N2O + NO2.
N2O is mostly prepared by thermal decomposition of ammonium nitrate.
