Robust Experimental Design/Regression Model Development for Fluidized Bed Combustor (FBC) Design and Manufacturing

چکیده
The hydrodynamic effect of varying operating parameters in the Fluidized Bed Combustor (FBC) has been of interest to FBC design and manufacturing. Some experiments to investigate the gas/particle flows in the gaseous fluidized bed were performed with laser-based Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer (PDPA) to measure the rise velocity of the fluidizing particles. The robust experimental design method was used to evaluate the experimental conditions and to analyze the experimental results. A regression model was developed for the FBC cold model. The optimization of the FBC system design was discussed. In addition, several suggestions were made for FBC design and manufacturing to prevent the erosion and material wastage of heat transfer tube and to increase combustion and thermal efficiencies.

Factors Affecdngthe Performance of a Codisposal Atmospheric Fluidized-bed Combustor
The history of fluidized bed technology dates back 60 years. Gasification of pulverized coal in the Winkler process during the 1920's marked the beginning of fluidized bed application. Consider ,able work done during World War II by U.S. oil companies to improve the catalytic cracking of kerosene led to the development of the Fluid Catalytic Cracking process. Fluidized bed technology later exp...

Palm kernel shell is an important bioenergy resource in Thailand. However, due to elevated alkali content in biomass ash, this oil palm residue shows high tendency to bed agglomeration in a fluidized-bed combustion system using conventional bed material (silica sand). In this study, palm kernel shell was burned in the conical fluidized-bed combustor (FBC) using alumina and dolomite as alternati...
متن کاملDynamic model of NOx emission for a fluidized bed sludge combustor
Sludge incineration in fluidized bed is a very complex process, producing gaseous pollutants (carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx)). The legislative norms need to be respected in spite of variations of sludge in composition and in quantity. The NOx formation, due to lots of chemical reactions from sludge nitrogen, is partly unknown. This paper deals with the design of a dynamic model ...

A bench-scale updraft gasifier was used as a fluidized- and fixed-bed gasification unit in three modes (fluidized-bed at equivalence ratios (ER) =0.2 and 0.25, and a mode in fixed-bed). The experiments were done in five different temperatures (650, 700, 750, 800 and 850oC). To obtain the required data to develop a thermodynamic equilibrium model, the proximate and ultimate analysis w...

The European directive 2000/53/EC implies a "reuse and recovery" rate for end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) of 95% to be reached by the year 2015. One of the options to increase the actual average European "reuse and recovery" rate of approximately 78% (EU 15, 2008) is incineration of automotive shredder residue (ASR) with energy-recovery. The mass balance and the congener fingerprints for PCDD/Fs, d...
