The object of this research study is to investigate and provide
some fundamental information about bed slumping in a partially defluidized
bed combustor. Due to the difficulty in making measurements and
observations at high temperature, a dynamically similar cold phase
fluidized bed was used to model the high temperature case....
With the rapid increase of the world energy demand and
consumption, the method and techniques to analyze, improve
and optimize energy conversion systems have to deal not only
with direct fuel exergy (energy) consumption, but also with
other resources, which have associated exergy consumptions,
and with environmental impacts, such as...
