Application of momentum flux method for the design of an α-shaped flame incinerator fueled with two-component solid waste

Kitchen waste and tree branches are two of the most common solid materials suitable for on-site disposal. Quantification combustion characteristics these is vital designing an appropriate incinerator. In this paper, a mixture kitchen have been analyzed. As theoretical basis design incinerator arches severely limited in published literature, novel momentum flux methodology α-shaped flame has developed disposal two-component waste. For purpose, orthogonal experimental employed eight different operating conditions The results verified by cold-state experiments, resulting development small-scale, fueled with branches. Cold-state show that optimum dimensionless structural parameters furnace H 1 /L 0.3, H/L 0.5 h/L 0.15, front arch angle 45° rear 12°. full-scale validity commercial viability incinerator, hot-state tests conducted study. • A characterization Thermogravimetric Differential Thermal curves Theoretical guidelines horizontal grate Orthogonal experiments conditions.
