Large-scale utilization of high-alkali fuels is considered an effective solution for alleviating
energy shortages and reducing CO 2 emissions. However, combustion of high-alkali fuels in …

Burning coal in power plants produces significant amounts of deposits like fouling and
slagging on boiler surfaces which contributes to the overall poor performance of the power …

This paper describes a systematic approach to predict ash deposits in coal-fired boilers by
means of artificial neural networks. The approach is of a “grey box” nature, decomposing the …

This paper presented a comprehensive approach of on-line monitoring and optimization for
the soot-blowing system in coal-fired power plant boilers. Due to ash fouling monitoring of …

A heat flux entering steam generating tubes in power station boilers may be a critical factor
in considering the safety of the tubes. The knowledge of the distribution and magnitude of …

This work presents a new methodology for quantifying the discomfort caused by non-optimal
temperature regulation, in a building automation system, as a result of degraded biomass …

The aim of this work was to apply the LIBS technique for the analysis of fly ash and bottom
ash resulting from the coal combustion in a coal fired power plant. The steps of presented …

Erosion is one of the major problems in many engineering system including power
generation units, steam/jet turbines, chemical processing equipments, and air craft engines …

In this paper, a method for determining fireside heat flux, heat transfer coefficient on the
inner surface and temperature of water-steam mixture in water-wall tubes is developed. The …

Three different tubular type instruments (flux tubes) were developed to identify steady-state
boundary conditions in water wall tubes of steam boilers. The first meter is constructed from …
