Specific Features of the Combustion Process and Thermal Calculation of Two-Chamber Cyclone-Bed Furnaces.

An experimental study of combustion processes in laboratory and pilot plants of various size equipped with cyclone-bed furnaces with a fixed and a fluidized bed and a wide range of solid biofuels was carried out. Numerical simulation of furnace processes in cyclone-bed furnaces was performed using the standard k–ε turbulence model and the Magnussen combustion model. A semiempirical method for calculating cyclone-bed furnaces has been developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
