The UK Government has ambitious targets for CO2 emissions reductions, particularly for the domestic housing stock. One technology that is expected to contribute significantly is heat pumps, both air and ground source. However, recent field trial results suggest that heat pumps in the UK are not delivering to performance expectations. This paper looks at the implications of these results for the...

Understanding of how and where NOx formation occurs in industrial boiler is very important for efficient and clean operation of utility boilers. This study aims to numerically simulate the NOx formation using a 3D model furnace of an industrial boiler. The studied boiler is a 160 MW and is gas fired with natural gas. The boiler combustion model is a 3D problem that involves turbulence, combusti...

Darin besteht das Wesen der Wissenschaft. Zuerst denkt man an etwas, das wahr sein könnte. Dann sieht man nach, ob es der Fall ist und im Allgemeinen ist es nicht der Fall. Summary Claimed as renewable energy source, wood is increasingly used in stoves and boilers for heating purposes in western countries due to economic reasons and environmental consciousness. Consequently, domestic wood combu...
