The general purpose of this work is to evaluate the relationship between the fuel quality and
the gaseous and particulate matter (PM) emissions in a domestic boiler fired with five …

When a thermocouple is used to measure a high-temperature gas flow, the measured
temperature, ie, the thermocouple bead temperature is not exactly the gas temperature. The …

In this work, the emission of particulate matter (PM) from combustion of agricultural biomass
was investigated in comparison to woody biomass. The mechanism of PM emission was …

In this study ten mixtures of spruce (Picea abies), short-rotation-coppice (SRC) willow (Salix
spec.; Clone Tordis) and kaolin were pelletised and burned in a residential biomass boiler …

To alleviate the unbearable pressure on forests in Europe, the use of lower quality woody
materials or wastes and agricultural fuels is emerging for the production of heat. The two …

The formation and emission of ash particles in biomass combustion is one of the most
intractable challenges in the biomass-firing utility boilers. In present study, field …

Poland is one of the heaviest users of district heating systems in Europe, and those district
heating systems are mainly coal-fired. A series of experimental studies has been carried out …

Abstract Biomorphic Silicon Carbide (bioSiC) is a novel porous ceramic material with
excellent mechanical and thermal properties. Previous studies have demonstrated that it …

This experimental work studies a small-scale biomass combustor (5–12 kW) with an
underfed fixed bed using low air staging ratios (15%–30%). This document focuses on the …

One of the most important problems occurring in biomass combustion is the appearance of
fouling on heat exchangers which reduces the efficiency and lifetime of the facility. In this …
