A Destructive Boiler Explosion

Investigating the Fire Behavior of a Boiler Explosion in a Semiconductor Factory Using Computer Simulation and Verification

This study reports the results of simulating a fire that occurred in a semiconductor factory in Taiwan in 2005. Based on the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), this research investigated the risk factors involved in the semiconductor factory after undergoing the fire, and assessed the hazards caused by smoke. A factory fire of such magnitude shuts down operation and is damaging to the local society...

A Steam - Boiler Control

Boiler Design Procedure Geothermal Boiler Design Procedure

A concept of "Fractal Fracture Mechanics" for HDR .(Hot Dry Rock) geothermal reservoir design has been developed as an extension of conventional rock fracture mechanics. It is suggested that this concept is successfully applicable to characterize and model subsurface fracture network in HDR geothermal reservoir. Furthermore, this modeling procedure makes it possible to evaluate the thermal ener...

Simulation of a Steam-Boiler

In this paper, we describe the implementation and usage of a simulation with graphical visualization for a steam-boiler [Abri94]. The simulation imitates the behaviour of the steam-boiler and can be controlled using a simple ASCII protocol. It reacts to defined commands and sends information about its state every five seconds. Furthermore, we describe the options available, the protocol which f...
