Abstract |
The report gives results of an experimental investigation of an incineration concept utilizing fluidized wastes in a confined vortex flow with simultaneous heat recovery. The incinerator consisted of a vortex combustion chamber and a cooled vertical furnace column 5 feet long and half a foot in diameter. (No transition section was used.) The vortex incinerator was operated using propane, sawdust/propane, and sawdust. The principal experiments were performed using propane at air/fuel ratios and total mass flow rates (in lbs per hour) in three combinations: 15 and 125, 20 and 220, and 20 and 280. Radial temperature profiles and heat transfer to the wall of the vortex tube were measured as a function of air/fuel ratio, vertical position, total gas flow rate, and inlet/outlet configurations. Maximum energy fluxes experienced were on the order of 37,000 Btu/hr-sq ft. A helicoidal flow-model correlation was developed which was about 4 times that predicted for the Colburn j-Factor using the Reynolds analogy for fluid friction for turbulent flow past a flat plate. |
