Integrated modelling of process heat transfer with combustion and fouling

Abstract

This paper provides a summary of the main project topics which contribute to a major study aimed at integrating fouling and combustion activities. Brief outlines of the aims of the 14 main activities are provided along with examples of results from work on time-dependent fouling, industrial measurements, particle deposition tests, engineering combustion modelling, CFB modelling, sonic control and optimization tests. Application of the results will lead to improved energy efficiency in a wide range of industries
