ABSTRACTBoiler is the one of the importance main equipment in the hydrothermal carbonization process. Steam produced from boiler is used to hydrothermal carbonization of organic waste in the reactor. This steam is produced due to the thermal displacement resulting from fuel combustion. The effectiveness of thermal displacement affects the amount of the fuel consumed and the air emissions produced by the combustion process. The study of the thermal transfer in a water tube typed boiler through Rayleigh-Benard convection semi-analytic modeling was carried out in this study. The boiler is modeled as a cylinder of two-dimensions with degrees of freedom of radius and height of the cylinder. Semi-analytic solutions are obtained by applying the Galerkin method where ordinary nonlinear differential equation systems are solved using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method. The results show that the amplitude that is function of the stream and thermal dispersion will oscillate sharply at the start of the heating process and then periodically oscillate with small variability as quasi patterns. Simulation shows that the rolling condition starts with a large rolling radius and then shrinks that is followed by uniformly distributed rolling and thermal spread throughout the boiler. The simulation results show the optimal temperature is around 300 oC. At this temperature, steam meets the conditions needed during the hydrothermal carbonization process of organic waste and fuel consumption can be adjusted to reduce air emissions resulting from combustion.Key words: boiler, convective, heat transfer, hydrothermal carbonization, Rayleigh-Benard.ABSTRAKBoiler atau ketel uap merupakan salah satu peralatan utama yang sangat penting pada proses karbonisasi hidrotermal. Uap air (steam) yang dihasilkan dari boiler dibutuhkan untuk proses karbonisasi hidrotermal sampah organik dalam reaktor. Produksi uap disebabkan oleh perpindahan panas yang dihasilkan dari pembakaran bahan bakar. Efektifitas perpindahan panas mempengaruhi jumlah bahan bakar yang dibutuhkan dan emisi udara yang dihasilkan oleh proses pembakaran tersebut. Kajian perpindahan panas dalam boiler bertipe water tube melalui pemodelan semi analitik konveksi Rayleigh-Benard dilakukan dalam penelitian ini. Boiler dimodelkan sebagai silinder dua dimensi dengan derajat kebebasan jari jari dan tinggi silinder. Solusi semi analitik diperoleh dengan menerapkan metode Galerkin dimana sistem persamaan diferensial biasa nonlinier model dipecahkan menggunaan metode Runge-Kutta orde 4. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa amplitude yang merupakan fungsi aliran (stream) dan dispersi panas akan berosilasi secara tajam pada awal waktu proses pemanasan dan kemudian secara periodik berosilasi dengan variabilitas yang kecil mengikuti pola kuasi. Simulasi menunjukkan bahwa kondisi rolling dimulai dengan jari jari rolling yang besar dan kemudian mengempis yang diikuti dengan tersebar meratanya rolling dan panas secara seragam di seluruh boiler. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan suhu optimal adalah sekitar 300oC. Pada suhu tersebut, steam memenuhi kondisi yang dibutuhkan selama proses karbonisasi hidrotermal sampah organik dan konsumsi bahan bakar bisa diatur untuk mengurangi emisi udara yang dihasilkan dari pembakaran.Kata kunci: boiler, karbonisasi hidrotermal, konvektif, perpindahan panas, Rayleigh-Benard.

Rayleigh–Bénard convection in water is studied by means of direct numerical simulations, taking into account the variation of properties. The simulations considered a three-dimensional (3-D) cavity with a square cross-section and its two-dimensional (2-D) equivalent, covering a Rayleigh number range of $10^{6}\leqslant Ra\leqslant 10^{9}$ and using temperature differences up to 60 K. The main objectives of this study are (i) to investigate and report differences obtained by 2-D and 3-D simulations and (ii) to provide a first appreciation of the non-Oberbeck–Boussinesq (NOB) effects on the near-wall time-averaged and root-mean-squared (r.m.s.) temperature fields. The Nusselt number and the thermal boundary layer thickness exhibit the most pronounced differences when calculated in two dimensions and three dimensions, even though the $Ra$ scaling exponents are similar. These differences are closely related to the modification of the large-scale circulation pattern and become less pronounced when the NOB values are normalised with the respective Oberbeck–Boussinesq (OB) values. It is also demonstrated that NOB effects modify the near-wall temperature statistics, promoting the breaking of the top–bottom symmetry which characterises the OB approximation. The most prominent NOB effect in the near-wall region is the modification of the maximum r.m.s. values of temperature, which are found to increase at the top and decrease at the bottom of the cavity.

Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is an emerging path to give a new life to organic waste and residual biomass. Fulfilling the principles of the circular economy, through HTC “unpleasant” organics can be transformed into useful materials and possibly energy carriers. The potential applications of HTC are tremendous and the recent literature is full of investigations. In this context, models capable to predict, simulate and optimize the HTC process, reactors, and plants are engineering tools that can significantly shift HTC research towards innovation by boosting the development of novel enterprises based on HTC technology. This review paper addresses such key-issue: where do we stand regarding the development of these tools? The literature presents many and simplified models to describe the reaction kinetics, some dealing with the process simulation, while few focused on the heart of an HTC system, the reactor. Statistical investigations and some life cycle assessment analyses also appear in the current state of the art. This work examines and analyzes these predicting tools, highlighting their potentialities and limits. Overall, the current models suffer from many aspects, from the lack of data to the intrinsic complexity of HTC reactions and HTC systems. Therefore, the emphasis is given to what is still necessary to make the HTC process duly simulated and therefore implementable on an industrial scale with sufficient predictive margins.

AbstractWe analyse the wind and boundary layer properties of turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a cylindrical container with aspect ratio one for Prandtl number $\mathit{Pr}= 0. 786$ and Rayleigh numbers ($\mathit{Ra}$) up to $1{0}^{9} $ by means of highly resolved direct numerical simulations. We identify time periods in which the orientation of the large-scale circulation (LSC) is nearly constant in order to perform a statistical analysis of the LSC. The analysis is then reduced to two dimensions by considering only the plane of the LSC. Within this plane the LSC is treated as a wind with thermal and viscous boundary layers developing close to the horizontal plates. Special focus is on the spatial development of the wind magnitude and the boundary layer thicknesses along the bottom plate. A method for the local analysis of the instantaneous boundary layer thicknesses is introduced which shows a dramatically changing wind magnitude along the wind path. Furthermore a linear increase of the viscous and thermal boundary layer thickness along the wind direction is observed for all $\mathit{Ra}$ considered while their ratio is spatially constant but depends weakly on $\mathit{Ra}$. A possible explanation is a strong spatial variation of the wind magnitude and fluctuations in the boundary layer region.
