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...

Complex standard e-learning platforms and systems often suffer from inflexibility, an organizational overhead and high total costs of ownership. But customer and software quality orientation require individual solutions for some e-learning demands. This paper considers the design, development,...

La presentación expone los elementos de análisis para evaluar la relación costo-beneficio del uso de PDAs en censos. El documento revisa la relación costo-beneficio, las ventajas del formulario electrónico y el uso de georreferenciación, los procesos de calidad y los índices con ejemplos...

Internet Banking (known also as online banking) allows performing transactions and payments over the internet through a bank's secure website. This can be very useful, especially for banking outside bank hours (which tend to be very short) and banking from anywhere where internet access is...

The future of mobile banking will be represented by such applications that support mobile, Internet banking and EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) transactions in a single user interface. In such a way, the mobile banking will be able to cover all the types of applications demanded at the market...
