The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the combustion low-calorific producer gas within porous burner. small scale downdraft biomass gasification for rural area was performed produce gaseous fuel. Three types wood in Thailand were used as raw materials gas, i.e. Acacia-mangium, White popinac and Eucalyptus. low heating values range 3800-4232 kJ.kg-1 that are difficult burn convent...

Great efforts have been spent to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve the efficiency of the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC). This study focuses on investigating two approaches to achieve these goals. First, replace the traditional subcritical Rankine steam cycle of the overall plant with a supercritical steam cycle. Second, add different amounts of biomass as feed...

This article is a report of the attempts which were made to model an industrial premix gas burner which was operating in one of the furnaces of the Catalytic Reforming Unit (CRU) of Abadan refinery. The main objective of the modeling was to investigate on the effect of the structural geometry of the burner on its mode of operation, i. e. complete combustion of the gas, maximum generation of hea...

An experimental and numerical investigation on the effect of swirl on the motion of coal particles in the near-burner region of a versatile multi-fuel swirl-stabilised laboratory burner of total thermal input of 100kW, has been performed. The burner was designed as a scale model of a lOMW coal burner operating in a cement rotary kiln, produces flames of different aerodynamic characteristics, an...

Superheaters are essential components in a coal-fired power plant because they keep the highest tube wall temperature points radiant boiler. The pressurized steam flowing superheater tubes is heated via thermal radiation and convection from combustion gas. To prevent bursting of caused by fatigue for stable safe operation, precisely predicting complex heat transfer characteristics, estimating l...

Cooking stoves, both gas and electric, are one of the strongest and most common sources of ultrafine particles (UFP) in homes. UFP have been shown to be associated with adverse health effects such as DNA damage and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigates the effectiveness of kitchen exhaust hoods in reducing indoor levels of UFP emitted from a gas stove and oven. Measur...
