Abstract: The double notched (DN) plate is commonly used in rotary air preheaters, but relevant investigations are rare. Thus, thermal-hydraulic performances of the DN plate are investigated in this paper. ...

Abstract: The cyclone-fired boiler has become a very competitive boiler type for utilizing coal with a low ash melting point and high alkali. Because of the higher combustion intensity in the cyclone barrel, good flow and combustion ...

Abstract: Previous studies have shown that predrying can improve lignite combustion performance and lignite-fired boiler efficiency. This paper numerically investigated the effect of the lignite predrying degree on the combustion ...

Abstract: Utilization of blended coal has been a great issue due to the increasing off-specification coals received in power plants, while the reduction of nitrogen oxide is also attracting extensive attention in China. This study ...

Abstract: Flue gas treatment systems have been widely installed in power plants to recover the remaining energy from the exhaust flue gas and to address pollutant emissions by heating the cleaned flue gas. In this study, three modes ...

Abstract: Lignite usually has a high moisture content and low calorific value, and should be predried before combustion to enhance power generation efficiency. Steam extracted from steam turbine and boiler exhaust gas are often ...

Abstract: Cofiring biomass syngas (BS) with pulverized coal under the oxy-fuel condition is a promising technology, which could encourage the utilization of biomass energy and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. To investigate ...

Abstract: The cocombustion of biomass and coal has the potential to reduce NOx emissions at high temperatures. In this study, an experimental investigation was conducted on a drop-tube furnace to investigate NOx formation characteristics ...

Abstract: Biomass from agricultural production is a renewable energy source with a high-volatile content. Semicoke (SC) and gasification residual carbon, which are ultralow volatile carbon-based fuels (LVFs), are by-products of the ...

Abstract: Cofiring sludge with coal based on existing power plants is a promising method to realize harmless recycling treatment for sludge disposal. However, the influences of sludge addition on NOx emission are still controversial. ...
