In recent years, large-eddy simulation (LES) becomes more and more attractive, because it can give the instantaneous flow and flame structures, and may give more accurate statistical results than the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) modeling. In this paper, the present status of the studies on LES of spray combustion is reviewed, and the future research needs are discussed.展开更多

With the deepening of people’s recognition about the pollution problem of fly ash, the ways of utilizing fly ash are gradually increasing. Utilizing value of fly ash is closely related to the unburned carbon content.On the basis of analysis of modern testing method,a fundamental thinking is theoretically posed for decreasing unburned carbon content from fly ash by a dry removing carbon technology. The triboelectric separation method shown that the above mentioned thinking of dry removing carbon from fly ash is practical.展开更多

In order to ensure the correct- ness and accuracy of the simulation, we did the following tasks： selecting reasonable model compounds for low-tem- perature coal tar; describing the nature of products gasoline and diesel accurately; and confirming the proper property study method for each block by means of experience and trial. The purpose of energy self-sustainability could be pos- sibly achieved, on one hand, by using hot stream to preheat cold stream and achieving temperature control of streams, and on the other hand, by utilizing gas （byproduct of the coal tar hydrocracking） combustion reaction to provide energy. Results showed that the whole process could provide a positive net power of about 609 kW-h for processing the low- temperature coal tar with a flowrate of 2 268 kg/h. The total heat recovery amounted to 2 229 kW-h, among which 845 kW＇h was obtained from the gas combustion reaction, and 1 116 kW＇h was provided by the reactor＇s outlet stream, with the rest furnished by hot streams of the products gasoline, diesel and residue. In addition, the process flow sheet could achieve products separation well, and specifically the purity of product gasoline and diesel reached 97.2% and 100%, respectively.展开更多

The biodiesel made in the laboratory was sent to K-petro, the government agency to inspect the quality of animal-fats biodiesel, of which generally the quality was acceptable for heating oil for agricultural hot air heater. Kinematic viscosity and calorific values of the biodiesels were measured. BD20（K）, kerosene based biodiesel, showed 18 cSt at -20 ~C. It seems that BD100 can not be suitable for heating fuel under some temperature. As BD content increased calorific value decreased up to 40,000 J/g for 100% BD （BD100） while, light oil calorific value was 45,567 J/g, showing difference of 5,567 J/g （about 12% difference）, Several different fuels including BD20 （biodiesel 20% ＋ light oil 80%）, BD50 （biodiesel 50% ＋ light oil 50%）, BD100 （biodiesel 100%） and light oil were prepared and tested for fuel combustion qualities for agricultural hot air heater and their combustion performances were compared and analyzed. Flame dimensions of biodiesels and light oil were almost same shape at the same combustion condition in the burner of the hot air heater. Generally, CO2 amounts of BDs were greater than light oil, but the differences were so small that it is hard to tell there was significant difference between the BDs combustion and light oil.展开更多

The purpose of this paper needed to present the design of a factory combustor for producing heat in the drying process by thermal energy from biomass fuel combustion to reduce the investment cost. A drying chamber was made from four concrete walls in the rectangular volume of 4.7 × 4.7 × 2.5 m3 for drying tuna fishes that sliced to small pieces of around 2,680 kg fresh tuna. The hot air tube in the combustor was used for driving hot air to dry fishes in the drying chamber. Heat from acacia wood burning in the combustor with the consumption rate of 50.1 kg/h was transferred by the hot air. The design result was calculated for thermal energy and the efficiency of around 200 kW, and 32%, respectively in the case of 0.62 m3/s hot air flow rate that circulation between the combustor and the drying chamber. The experimental result shows that the moister content of 78.9%wb was decreased to around 13.8%wb in 5 days without petroleum fuel. The drying temperature was controlled at 70℃ continuously for reducing hard containing, and the closed loop tube design for the less of BaP （benzo （a） pyrene） from combustion smoking of the drying industrial process.展开更多
