However, some influ- encing parameters, for example, the SiO2 reduction by carbon, were always neglected or inaccurate when calculating the TFT. According to the definition of TFT, the temperature of coke into raceway and the reduction rate of SiO2 in ash of coke and pulverized coal were obtained by analyzing the samples before tuyere in blast furnace. Taking full ac- count of different factors, a modified model for calculating the TFT in blast furnace was established. The effects of the oxygen enrichment rate, the reduction rate of SiO2 in raceway, the ash content in coke and pulverized coal and the pulverized coal injection (PCI) rate on TFT were determined quantitatively. The modified model was applied to selecting the used coal for PCI in blast furnace. Considering the different SiO2 contents of mixed coal, the calculated TFT remained a stable level. This showed that the selected coal could be suitable for PCI in blast furnace.展开更多

Since recirculation effect is more noticeable in micro-combustors, it is necessary to propose a modeling approach of this phenomenon to better simulate the performance of micro-combustors. In this research, in order to model the combustion of organic dust particles, it is assumed that the dust particles va- porize first to yield a known chemical structure which is oxidized in the gas phase, and the chemical structure of this gaseous fuel is assumed methane. To study the flame structure and solve the governing equations, it is considered that the flame structure consists of three zones titled the preheat-vaporization zone, the narrow reaction zone and finally the post flame zone. The recirculation phenomenon is evaluated by entering the exhausted heat from the post flame zone into the preheat zone. The solution is based on the follow- ing approach. First, the governing equations in each zone are nondimensionalized. Then the needed boundary and matching conditions are applied in each zone. After that, these equations and the required boundary and matching conditions are simultaneously solved with the analytical model. Consequently, the remarkable effects of recirculation and non- unity Lewis number on the combustion characteristics of the organic dust particles such as burning velocity and temperature profiles for different particle radii are obtained. The results show reasonable agreement with published experimental data.展开更多

Calculated results show that the adiabatic flame temperature of the Ti Cr V Mo alloys is lower than that of the Ti Cr V alloys, most probably due to that the gas products of molybdenum oxide can be easily formed and the sublimation of more oxides leads to the reduction of T af . Therefore, the Ti Cr V Mo alloys would have better burning resistivity and their optimal composition is presented.展开更多

Exploration of waste lubri...The global energy demand has continued to skyrocket, exacerbating the already severe energy problem and environmental pollution, prompting researchers to look for alternative energy sources. Exploration of waste lubricating oil (WLO) as an alternative source of fuel has gained prominence among researchers due to its availability at low cost and the potential to generate energy while providing a safer means of disposal. The main challenge with WLO combustion is proper regulation of fuel and oxidizer during combustion to realize a near stoichiometric result. Additionally, WLO has high viscosity, hence preheating of the oil is necessary to lower the viscosity and enhance atomization, for a more efficient combustion process. This paper presents the optimization of flow parameters for combustion of WLO in a burner system by use of response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of air flow rate, injection pressure and fuel flow rate on combustion performance of a WLO burner were investigated. The highest flame temperature recorded was 1200°C at an air flow rate of 1 m3</sup>/min, fuel flow rate of 0.08 m3</sup>/hr and injection pressure of 20 bar. Tests on physical and chemical properties of WLO were conducted and characterized according to ASTM standard to ascertain its potential as an alternative fuel. The calorific values of WLO from petrol and diesel engines were found to be 41.23 MJ/kg and 42.65 MJ/kg respectively. Therefore, recycling of WLO by utilizing it as a fuel for burners has double benefits of mitigating environmental pollution and harnessing energy for process heating and power generation.展开更多

The theoretical flame temperature (TFT) of combustion and the degree of di-rect reduction of iron oxides (rd) are considered as the main controlling parameters of composite blast technology. The calculated values of these parameters are mainly dependent on the amount of air blast consumption. This amount of air blast is measured before entering into blast stoves, Actually, some of air blast is lost through valves of air stoves. Consequently, the real volume of air blast in the furnace is less than the recorded value by amounts of 5%-15% which is not considered in the estimation of rd and TFT. The purpose is to analyze the different methods for es-timation of air blast inside the blast furnaces and develop a theoretical model to calculate air blast eonsumption with high accuracy. Based on the calculation of air blast consumption, a complete roadmap is demonstrated to change the operation regime parameters of blast furnaces working on composite blast technology.展开更多
