This paper characterizes combustion of petrodiesel and prevalent SOME blends (B100, B5, B10 and B20), which were … produced through an alkali-based transesterification in PUT, in a semi industrial boiler by determining its efficiency, exhaust … biodiesel in the boiler. In the next level, a multi-objective optimization method, named cost-based optimization, was …

been tested in order to examine the quality of combustion of large soya straw bales. Since experimental results of testing … of this facility have proved to be very satisfactory, in the second phase of the development, a hot water boiler of …

This paper presents a methodology to simulate the combustion of fixed beds of biomass particles using computational … fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. The models presented were used in the simulation of a domestic pellet boiler working under … concentration. The same procedure was then used to simulate the same domestic boiler working with different values of water …

Spring harvested corn stover was used for direct combustion in a 146 kW dual chamber boiler designed for wood logs …, but it would have to be densified and the boiler should be modified to improve airflow, completeness of combustion and … combustion chamber at a rate of 10.5 to 12.8 kg/h over a 24-h period, with three replications, and compared to a control wood …

utility boiler of oxy-coal combustion and compares with air-coal combustion in terms of flame profile and heat transferred … highest flame temperature and total heat transferred through boiler side walls in the oxy-coal combustion case match to those … oxy-coal combustion retrofitting of the existing boiler. In addition, the increase of the moisture content in the flue gas …

This paper evaluates three lignite-fired OPSB (open pulverizing system boiler) processes, named OPSB-A, OPSB-B and OPSB … drying agent composition. Performances of the three OPSBs were calculated and compared with a 600 MW lignite-fired boiler as … reference boiler, whereas for OPSB-B, the savings was 2.57%. Accordingly, emissions of each OPSB could be reduced in proportion …

single-stage expansion steam engine (SE) was chosen as the expander device: its main characteristics and operative …

An experimental study has been implemented in an industrial steam boiler to investigate the combustion … characteristics of this emulsified fuel by analyzing the exhaust gas emissions and the thermal efficiency of the boiler. The … efficiency improvement. These effects were also demonstrated for the commercially operated water heating boiler. …
