Combustion and NO_(x)Emission Characteristics of Coal Slime Solid Waste at Different Feeding Positions

The NO_(x)emission of coal slime burned in circulating fluidized bed(CFB)boilers could hardly meet the increasingly strict standards in China.Feeding coal slime from the top of furnace led to uneven combustion in furnace and cyclones,short residence time and overheated tail heating surface.The effects of feeding positions on the combustion uniformity and pollutant emission characteristics of coal slime were studied.The experimental results showed that the coal slime combustion was more uniform when feeding from the front wall and longer residence time was conducive to the control of NO_(x)emission.When the boiler temperature and excess air ratio were almost identical,the initial NO_(x)emissions were 45.0 mg·m^(−3)and 70.7 mg·m^(−3)when feeding from the front wall and the top of furnace,respectively;the NO_(x)emission was cut down 36.35%when feeding from the front wall,successfully meeting the ultra-low NO_(x)emission standard of China.The adoption of feeding from the front wall greatly reduced the original emission of NO_(x);the operation costs in the practical applications were saved to a large extent.

Physical simulation of mixing on a C-H2 smelting reduction reactor with different tracer feeding positions

With the growing demand for energy saving,emission reduction,and green metallurgy,we had designed a new C-H2 smelting reduction reactor.In order to solve the key problem that the heat transfer efficiency from high temperature oxidation zone in upper region to low temperature reduction zone in lower region is low in traditional metallurgical reduction reactor,a water simulation was adopted to optimize the mean residence time and to improve the transmission efficiency within the reactor.According to the modified Froude similarity,a water model experimental reactor with a ratio of 1:1 to the prototype was constructed.In the prototype,the feed port was used to feed preheated ore and flux.In order to simulate the effect of different feeding positions of the tracer on the mixing behavior in the molten pool,four points of tracer feeding position were arranged for a systematic study.At the same time,based on double-row side nozzle with thick slag layer in a C-H2 smelting reduction reactor,nine influencing factors,including relative angle between upper and lower side nozzles,were studied.The experimental results showed that the tracer feeding position had a great influence on the mean residence time,and the relative angle also had a great influence on tracer feeding position.Finally,through comprehensive analysis,the optimal condition parameters were obtained under different tracer feeding positions.These results provide valuable help for the design and optimization of the C-H2 smelting reduction reactor.

Simulation of FAST EM performance for both the axial and lateral feed defocusing

Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)is the world’s largest single dish radio telescope,which is located in Guizhou Province,in southwest China.The FAST feed cabin is supported and positioned by six steel cables.The deviation of the feed position and orientation would lead to loss in the telescope efficiency.In this paper,a series of electromagnetic(EM)simulations of the FAST facility with varying feed positions and orientation offsets was performed.The maximum gain of FAST is about 82.3 dBi and the sibelobe is–32 dB with respect to the main beam at 3 GHz.The simulation results have demonstrated that the telescope efficiency loss is more sensitive to the lateral feed deviation compared with the axial deviation.The telescope efficiency would decrease by 8.2%due to the FAST feed position deviation of 10 mm rms when the observing frequency is 3 GHz.The FAST feed deviation basically has no effect on the sidelobes and cross polarization characteristic according to the simulations.
