Abstract:

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 numerical simulations are performed using the CFD-code Fluent. The theoretical results of partially premixed combustion incorporating the prompt NOx model compare well with measurements. The results show that the pollutant emissions and thermal behavior of natural-draught burners are sensitive to draught produced by the chimney and there is an optimum chimney height, which corresponds to the minimum air pollution emissions. The results also show that the level of NO exits the natural-draught boiler is lower than Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard for gas fired boilers and small-scale boilers are environmentally cleaner than large central heating boilers.

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

hazard evaluation of gas condensate stabilization and dehydration unit of parsian gas refinery using hazop procedures

شناسایی مخاطرات در واحد 400 پالایشگاه گاز پارسیان. در این پروزه با بکارگیری از تکنیک hazop به شناسا یی مخاطرات ، انحرافات ممکن و در صورت لزوم ارایه راهکارهای مناسب جهت افزایش ایمنی فرا یند پرداخته میگردد. شرایط عملیاتی مخاطره آمیز نظیر فشار و دمای بالا و وجود ترکیبات مختلف سمی و قابل انفجار در واحدهای پالایش گاز، ضرورت توجه به موارد ایمنی در این چنین واحدهایی را مشخص می سازد. مطالعه hazop یک ر...

Cooking Up Indoor Air Pollution: Emissions from Natural Gas Stoves

Cooking Up Indoor Air Pollution Emissions from Natural Gas Stoves Natural gas cooking appliances, which are used by a third of U.S. households, can contribute to poor indoor air quality, especially when used without an exhaust hood. Gas stoves emit nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and formaldehyde (HCHO), each of which can exacerbate various respiratory and other health ailments. I...
