This paper focuses on a detailed numerical investigation combined with experimental research for a non-premixed swirl combustor, which aims to analyze the effects of the blade angle of the outer swirler and equivalence ratio on flow and combustion characteristics. In the experiment, the temperature in the furnace was obtained with a thermocouple, while a realizable k-ε turbulence model and two-step reaction mechanism of methane and air are used in the numerical method. The calculation results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The results reveal that the air flow rate through the swirler accounts for a small amount of the total air due to the influence of the draft fan, and there is no central recirculation zone (CRZ) despite the presence of the swirler. It was also found that NO emissions gradually decrease as the blade angle of the outer swirler increases. It was also indicated that the average temperature is 100 K higher than the general combustor with a 58° blade angle in the furnace by increasing the equivalent ratio of the tertiary air area, and the NO emissions reduced by approximately 25%. This study can provide guidance for the operation and structural design of non-premixed swirl combustors.

This paper presents a comparison of MELCOR calculated results with experimental data for the QUENCH-16 experiment. The analysis for the air ingress experiment QUENCH-16 has been performed by INRNE. The calculations have been performed with MELCOR code. The QUENCH-16 experiment has been performed on 27-th of July 2011 in the frame of the EC-supported LACOMECO program. The experiments have focused on air ingress investigation into an overheated core following earlier partial oxidation in steam. QUENCH-16 has been performed with limited pre-oxidation and low air flow rate. One of the main objectives of QUENCH-16 was to examine the interaction between nitrogen and oxidized cladding during a prolonged period of oxygen starvation. The bundle is made from 20 heated fuel rod simulators arranged in two concentric rings and one unheated central fuel rod simulator, each about 2.5 m long. The tungsten heaters were surrounded by annular ZrO2 pellets to simulate the UO2 fuel. The geometry and most other bundle components are prototypical for Western-type PWRs. To improve the obtained results it has been made a series of calculations to select an appropriate initial temperature of the oxidation of the fuel bundle and modified correlation oxidation of Zircaloy with MELCOR computer code. The compared results have shown good agreement of calculated hydrogen and oxygen starvation in comparison with test data.

Streamline Curvature Method

A streamline curvature method for calculating S1 surface flow in turbines is presented. The authors propose a simple method in which a domain of calculation can be changed into an orderly rectangle without making coordinate transformations. Calculation results obtained on subsonic and transonic turbine cascades have been compared with those of experiment and another theory. Good agreement has been found. When calculating blade-to-blade flow velocity at subsonic speed, a function approximation technique can be used in lieu of iteration method in order to reduce calculation time. If the calculated flow section is of a mixed (subsonic-supersonic) flow type, a Boolean expression obtained from the truth table of flow states is proposed to judge the integrated character of the mixed flow section. Similarly, another Boolean expression is used to determine whether there exists a “choking” of the relevant section. Periodical conditions are satisfied by iterating the first-order derivative of stagnation streamline, which is formed simultaneously. It can be proved that the stagnation streamline formed in this way is unique.

Experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of arm length on the accuracy of two typical conventional torque wrenches, namely, setting type torque wrench (STW) and indicating type torque wrench (ITW). The experiment results demonstrate that the measurement values of STW rises rapidly with decreasing arm length while measured torque of ITW shows irrelevant to arm length. Theoretical solution with respect to STW shows quite good agreement with experiment results. Irrelevance of arm length regard to ITW may be attributable to compensation of bending moment measurement due to proper arrangement of circuit and structural design. In order to conduct a proper assessment at a calibration laboratory or ensure its reliability with reference to actual use conditions, a torque wrench should be used by a customer at the loading point as recommended.

In this paper, two different types of biowaste composting processes were carried out – composting without and with bioaugmentation. All experiments were performed in an adiabatic reactor for 14 days. Composting enhanced with bioaugmentation was the better choice because the thermophilic phase was achieved earlier, making the composting time shorter. Additionally, a higher conversion of substrate (amount of substrate consumed) was also noticed in the process enhanced by bioaugmentation. A mathematical model was developed and process parameters were estimated in order to optimize the composting process. Based on good agreement between experimental data and the mathematical model simulation results, a three-level-four-factor Box-Behnken experimental design was employed to define the optimal process conditions for further studies. It was found that the air flow rate and the mass fraction of the substrate have the most significant effect on the composting process. An improvement of the composting process was achieved after altering the mentioned variables, resulting in shorter composting time and higher conversion of the substrate.
