Knowledge of the local solar radiation is important for many applications of solar energy systems. The global solar radiation on horizontal surface at the location of interest is the most critical input parameter employed ...

In this study, the effects of operational parameters on the thermodynamic performance of a FBCC steam power plant with a rated output of 7.7 MW are investigated by the developed model such as excess air, coal type and steam ...

Thermodynamics plays an important role to perform the energy and exergy analyses of the industrial processes. The first law is widely used in engineering practice and is the basis of the heat-balance method of analysis ...

In this study, effects of the operational parameters such as gasifier temperature, bed operational velocity, equivalence ratio, biomass particle size and biomass-to-steam ratio on hydrogen production from an atmospheric ...

In this study, a one-dimensional model which includes volatilization, attrition and combustion of char particles for a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustor has been developed. In the modeling, the CFB combustor is ...

The CFB technology is widely used for combustion of coal because of its unique ability to handle low quality. high ash, high sulphur and low heating value coals. This paper presents a modeling study of pollutant emissions ...

In this study, the numerical simulation of bed-to-wall heat transfer in CFBs is presented which based on previously developed 2D CFB model which uses the particle-based approach and integrates and simultaneously predicts ...

Nitrogen oxides are a major environmental pollutant resulting from combustion. This paper presents a modeling study of pollutant NOx emission resulting from low-grade fuel combustion in a circulating fluidized bed. The ...

This article presents the analysis of first and second laws of thermodynamics in a 7.7 MW steam power plant located in Torbali (Izmir, Turkey). it involves a fluidized bed, a waste heat boiler (WHB) and an economizer as ...
