Show Prediction of hea t transfer conversion of ga9 firing - implemented). the fuel/air mixing required to maintain radiant (and therefore production and fuel economy) on a rotary lime kiln from liquid fuel to natural (6 separate examples in 4 countrias all Prediction of the fuel/air mixing requirements to maintain an even heat flux pattern in lean fuel gas (H2 & CO, C02 & N2 ) burning 1n lean air (less than 121. 02) at elevated pressures for fuel cell reformers (5 applications, - 4 countries I all implemented). Prediction of the fuel/air mixing requirements to maintain burner performance on three widely different fuels (natural gas, oil, petroleum coke) (3 applications, 2 countries - all implemented). Study of flame patterns in cement kilns suffering from problems such a8 poor combustion/flame impingement, high fuel consumption and short refractory life (14 examples 1n 5 countries - 9 successfully implemented. One failure owing to inadequate equipment (not FC!' s!). One impractical to implement and 3 awaiting action by client). Study of fuel/air mixing in flash calciners (cement and alumina) which led to redesigned and repOSitioned burners ( 5 examples in three countries, 3 implemented - Z awaiting further action by client). Acid/alkali modelling was used to design the burners for the conversion of 9 alumina calciners from oil to gas firing maintaining output with the less radiant flame resulting from natural gas firing, - fully implemented.
