ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

The Uses and Morphology of Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion Wastes From Canada’s First Industrial AFBC Boilers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The literature of FBC solid wastes has been critically evaluated and solid wastes from Canada’s first atmospheric fluidized bed combustion (AFBC) boilers at the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) ...
Agglomeration and Fouling in Petroleum Coke-Fired FBC Boilers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experiments have been done subjecting ashes from industrial-scale FBC boilers to sulphating conditions in an oven for up to 105 days. These show that sulphation by itself causes agglomeration ...
Mechanisms of Bed Material Agglomeration in a Petroleum Coke-Fired Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Petroleum coke firing in a circulating fluidized bed boiler has sometimes been reported to be associated with cyclone deposit problems and return leg plugging. In this paper, we present data ...
The Phase Analysis of Coal Combustion Ashes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The phase composition of coal combustion ashes is important in regard to their potential uses. Here it is shown that a combination of phase separation techniques with X-ray diffraction, ...
Characterization of Solid Wastes From Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The characterization of solid wastes from full-scale circulating fluidized bed combustors (CFBC) is necessary to ensure that disposal procedures or utilization strategies for the waste solids are ...
A New Mechanism for FBC Agglomeration and Fouling in 100 Percent Firing of Petroleum Coke
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In an effort to clarify the causes of agglomeration and fouling in fluidized bed combustion of petroleum coke, a detailed study was made of samples taken from different locations of an ...
Study of Hydration During Curing of Residues From Coal Combustion With Limestone Addition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The hydration reactions that occur with CFBC materials treated via the CERCHAR hydration process and combined with PFA have been examined and compared with materials produced via the LIFAC ...
Petroleum Coke and Coal Start-Up Testing in Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bench-scale and 160 MWe demonstration tests were conducted for petroleum coke and high volatile bituminous coal blends. The bench-scale apparatus was a 100-mm-dia reactor located at the Canada ...
Understanding the Behavior of Calcium Compounds in Petroleum Coke Fluidized Bed Combustion (FBC) Ash
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With growing understanding of the differences between solid residues from the fluidized bed combustion of petroleum coke and of coal, the significance of fuel-derived and sorbent-derived components ...
