This work details a model for evaluating the relative ash deposition propensity of various
solid fuels without the complicated spatial considerations included in CFD modeling. Four …

In this paper, aiming at resolving the contradictions of heat transfer enhancement, resistance
reduction and soot-blowing effect of common heat transfer surfaces, aligned elliptical tube …

The present work applies an original ash deposition model to a 1.5 MW TH combustor
burning pure coal and its blends with woody biomasses (15 wt% biomass and 85 wt% coal) …

Retrofitting biomass boilers is a promising strategy for use in generating electricity while
reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, biomass ash deposition on the wall …

Global trends such as resource scarcity and climate change due to industrialization and
urbanization, have attracted growing attention from researchers. To reduce CO 2 emissions …

Beetle-killed trees and woody residues degenerate and may lead to wildfires and
uncontrolled CO 2 emission. Woody biomass is known as a neutral CO 2 solid fuel since it …

Superheater tubes are critical boiler components that operate at relatively higher
temperatures and pressure. Amongst the primary concerns for these tubes is the deposition …

Woodchip as an alternative fuel is widely fired to generate electricity and steam. However,
fouling is a major issue for woodchip fired boilers. It is important to develop mathematical …
