Abstract: The mechanical response of natural clays can exhibit significant directional dependence due to loading history and layered soil structure. We report an experimental investigation of the stress–strain-strength response of ...

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: 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 ...
