Abstract: The principal mechanisms of failure of high temperature components include creep, fatigue, creep-fatigue, and thermal fatigue. In heavy section components, although cracks may initiate and grow ...

Abstract: A pilot hot-gas particulate removal system, based on positive porous ceramic filters, has been tested on the Grimethorpe Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustor facility. The filters are in the form ...

Abstract: Alternative methods of producing electricity from coal while maintaining acceptable environmental standards are currently being examined in detail. One such method involves the fluidized bed ...

Abstract: Geostrophic wind velocities were calculated using atmospheric pressure data from Bering Strait stations at Uelen (Siberia), Bukhta Provideniya (Siberia) and Nome (Alaska). These velocities were ...

Abstract: The wastage of in-bed heat transfer surfaces has recently emerged as a potentially serious problem for both pressurized and atmospheric fluidized bed combustors. The experimental pressurized ...
