Sub-bituminous coal (Coal), dried sewage sludge solid fuel (DSS), and hydrothermal carbonization sewage sludge solid fuel (HTCSS) were considered as fuel blends. The higher heating value of HTCSS was about 1,500 kcal/kg higher than that of DSS since the fuel ratio, H/C and O/C ratio were improved by the hydrothermal carbonization. The hardgrove grindability index (HGI) was performed to understand the feasibility of industrial applications. In the pilot-scale BFB experiment, the heat input, as 72 kWth, was fixed in all cases. The mixing ratios of HTCSS and DSS were 2, 5 and 10% respectively based on the higher heating value. Under the co-combustion conditions, the temperature in the reactor was increased in the freeboard zone due to the higher volatile matter of HTCSS and DSS than Coal. The trend of CO and NOx emissions was similar in all cases as mixing ratio was increased. However, SO2 emission was decreased in HTCSS co-combustion case due to the lower sulfur content compared to than that of DSS. Ash acquired after BFB combustion was analyzed by XRF to evaluate the slagging/fouling tendency. The variation of slagging/fouling tendency was minor in all cases.","PeriodicalId":42247,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of Combustion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44484490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The other is flame transfer function, which quantifies the heat release response in the combustor to the incoming velocity fluctuations. Combining the acoustic and flame transfer functions, one can analyze the combustion instability in the closed-loop system. The calculated thermoacoustic instability behavior using the current model matches well with the experimental results in the literature.","PeriodicalId":42247,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of Combustion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43482835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If we use the converted index expressed as measurement index (mg/m) under the same combustion condition, it is possible to grasp the quantitative relationship between various indexes.

The plasma is applied to the flames through the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) technique. The results show that the streamer applied by the non-thermal plasma extend the lean extinction limit by enhancing flame stability. The non-thermal plasma is also able to significantly decrease CO emission while NOx emission increase slightly due to increased flame temperatures. However, there are an optimal range in equivalence ratio (), i.e. ≤5 ppm for CO emission and ≤15 ppm for NOx at 0.550≤≤0.575, leading to extension of lean operation limits. These results indicate that applying non-thermal plasma on swirled premixed flames ought to be a useful tool for reduction in CO and NOx emissions simultaneously by high streamer.","PeriodicalId":42247,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of Combustion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47274536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The factors are fuel volume flow rate (Qf), momentum flux ratio (MFR) and oxidizer/fuel (O/F) ratio. Firstly, the flame pattern becomes asymmetric as the fuel volume flow rate increases with a fixed momentum flux ratio. Then, the suitable fuel volume flow rate is selected according to the results. Next, the momentum flux ratio is increased by increasing the oxidizer volume flow rate (Qo) with a fixed fuel volume flow rate. Results show that the spreading angle decreases as momentum flux ratio increases, which agrees with our previous results. Finally, in order to check effects of oxidizer/fuel ratio, the Qf, Qo, and MFR are kept the same but the O2 mole fraction of oxidizer is changed. From numerical and experimental results, it is found that flame pattern depends on oxidizer/fuel ratio and spreading angle increases as the O2 mole fraction decreases.","PeriodicalId":42247,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Society of Combustion","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43464232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
