A Knowledge Based Application to Enhance Fired Heater Design

This paper describes meaningful issues related to the development of a Knowledge Based (KB) application to automatically configure fired heater for a chemical plant. It concerns a typical example of product technical configuration. The paper discusses differences between commercial and technical configuration and motivates potentialities of KBE approach in the domain of chemical plant design. I...

Measurements and Modeling of Flue Height Influence on Air Pollution Emissions and Thermal Efficiency of Natural Draught Gas Fired Boilers

This paper presents and analyses results from experimental and CFD work undertaken on a 24 kW domestic natural-draught gas fired boiler. The effect of chimney height on boiler flue gases is being considered to address the need for increasing concern over environmental safety as well as saving of energy. A multi-component analysis computer (DELTA 2000 CD) is used to analyze the flue gases. 3D nu...

Thermal Performance of a Double-pass Solar Air Heater

This study analyzes the thermal performance of solar thermal energy using double-pass absorber plate in Sanandaj, Iran. To this end, a mathematical model was encoded according to the energy and exergy balance equations and solved by MATLAB software. Given the environmental conditions and radiation intensity of a winter day in Sanandaj, the effects of external parameters such as radiation intens...

High-Efficiency Heater for a Thermoluminescence Apparatus

The paper reports on the optimization of a heater used in a Thermoluminescence glow curve apparatus. Two variants of the heater, planchet system and block system, are described. Both variants performed by a cheap material as graphite and designed following cryogenic principles, are very simple constructively, ensure minimum heat losses and require
