An OFA (over-fire air) program and matched measures supporting efficient-combustion are proposed for the FW (Foster Wheeler)-type down-fired boiler, where the OFA is supplied from the arches of the boiler. A gas/solid cold test was conducted at a scale of 1:15, using a two-dimensional laser...

A phase Doppler anemometer system was used to study gas-particle flow characteristics of a conical rings concentrator for a centrally fuel-rich burner. The influences of distance between adjacent rings on the distribution of mean axial velocity, particle volume flux, particle number...

Improvements were made to a low-NOx axial swirl burner (LNASB), aimed at mitigating slagging in a 600-MWe boiler burning bituminous coal. The new design is referred to as improved low-NOx axial swirl burner (ILNASB). This paper describes investigations of the influence of swirl burner structure...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide insights and commentary into issues encountered in maintaining library technologies and electronic resources on a limited budget and with limited personnel. Design/methodology/approach – Uses real-world experiences and data to report on...
