چکیده
This paper reviews literature on co-firing of coal with biomass fuels. Here, the term biomass includes organic matter produced as a result of photosynthesis as well as municipal, industrial and animal waste material. Brief summaries of the basic concepts involved in the combustion of coal and biomass fuels are presented. Different classes of co-firing methods are identified. Experimental results for a large variety of fuel blends and conditions are presented. Numerical studies are also discussed. Biomass and coal blend combustion is a promising combustion technology; however, significant development work is required before large-scale implementation can be realized. Issues related to successful implementation of coal biomass blend combustion are identified. q 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

This paper describes an expanded mechanism of metal combustion that emphasizes reactions and phase changes occurring within the burning metal in addition to those occurring on and above the metal surface. Selected recent experimental work showing the importance of these internal processes in metal combustion is surveyed. Gas dissolution within the burning metal, ensuing phase changes, and their...
متن کاملStudying online: evaluation of an online study environment
This study evaluates student use of an online study environment. Its purposes were to (1) determine if college students will voluntarily use online study tools, (2) identify characteristics of users and nonusers of the tools, and (3) determine if the use of online study tools relates to course achievement. Approximately 25%of students used the online tools for more than one hour before each of ...
متن کاملDynamical systems to define centrality in social networks
In this paper, new measures of centrality that summarize the contact structure of social networks are proposed. The new measures use a cumulative nomination scheme based on the preliminary assumption that more central individuals will be nominated more often. Some of these measures are defined to characterize networks of different sizes and, by extension, networks made of many components. These...

The generation by combustion processes of airborne species of current health concern such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and soot particles necessitates a detailed understanding of chemical reaction pathways responsible for their formation. The present review discusses a general scheme of PAH formation and sequential growth of PAH by reactions with stable and radical species, includi...
متن کاملThe development of an online adaptive questionnaire for health education in Taiwan
This paper explores the feasibility and usability of using computer networks, in particular the World Wide Web, as educational survey research instruments to collect students' opinions on proposed health education courseware. Also covered are the review of computer-assisted survey techniques, and the comparisons among dierent survey methods. The development and the evaluation of a Web-based ad...
