1 Mechanism and kinetics of lead capture by kaolinite in a downflow combustor2000mechanism and kinetics; lead capture; kaolinite; downflow combustor; postflame reaction; lead vaporAn 18 kW, 6 m long, gas-fired downflow combustor was used to examine the postflame reaction between lead vapor and kaolinite. Since the focus of this work was to evaluate the reaction with lead vapor, samples were extracted at a temperature above the metal dew point. The sample was rapidly diluted w...
2 Modeling the rich combustion of aliphatic hydrocarbons2000rich combustion; aliphatic hydrocarbons; kinetic mechanism; benzene formation; high-molecular-mass aromatic compoundsA new kinetic mechanism has been developed for the formation of benzene and high-molecular-mass aromatic compounds in rich flames of aliphatic hydrocarbons. The kinetic scheme emphasizes both the role of resonantly stabilized radicals in the growth of aromatics and the standard acetylene addition me...
3 Modeling the vaporization of ash constituents in a coal-fired boiler2000vaporization of ash constituents; coal-fired boiler; minimizing harmful emissions; vaporizationEmissions of fine particulate and trace toxic metals are being subjected to increasing regulation. This paper addresses how the emission of these compounds can be influenced by changes in combustion conditions, particularly those selected to minimize NOx emissions. The vaporization and condensation ...
4 On the relevance of surface growth in soot formation in premixed flames2000surface growth; soot formation; premixed flames; surface growth mechanisims; particle mass accumulationThe role of surface growth mechanisms in particle mass accumulation was investigated in rich, premixed, ethylene/air flames from non-sooting to moderately sooting conditions using in situ optical diagnostics and predictions from a detailed chemical kinetic model. Particles formed just after the flam...
5 The partitioning of arsenic during pulverized coal combustion2000arsenic partitioning; arsenic; pulverized coal combustion; coal-fired electric utility; coal; arsenic volatilization; volatilized arsenic.An important issue facing the coal-fired electric utility industry is the environmental impact resulting from the release of arsenic contained in the coal. Depending on the forms of occurrence in the coal and transformation mechanism involved, arsenic-containing compounds may exit the furnace in the...
6 State space sensitivity to a prescribed probability density function shape in coal combustion system: Joint B-PDF versus clipped Gaussian PDF2000space sensitivity; coal combustion; b-PDF mixing model; three coal-off gas; pulverized-coal research furnaceThe turbulent transport of three coal off-gas mixture fractions is coupled to a prescribed joint b-probability- density-function (b-PDF) mixing model. This physical transport and subgrid joint b-PDF mixing model is used to explore the incorporation of coal off-gas compositional disparities between t...
