The work is devoted to an experimental study of individual poorly studied stages of vapor
explosion triggering (a dangerous destructive phenomenon that occurs during certain …

In this work, we studied the explosive fragmentation of a molten drop of sodium chloride
NaCl in distilled water subcooled to saturation temperature and in water saturated with …

There is considerable interest in the nature and causes of heavy smelt runoff from recovery
boilers because of the role it has played in numerous dissolving tank explosions and for …

In the dissolving tank of a recovery boiler, violent interaction between smelt droplets and
water can cause the tank to rumble and tremor, and in severe cases, a dissolving tank …

Hard calcium carbonate scale often forms on the agitators in smelt dissolving tanks. The
effects of this scale on mixing are not well understood. While mixing in tanks has often been …

The present study examines the molten NaCl explosive fragmentation in subcooled distilled
water. It is noted that the explosion occurred in all experiments performed. However, such a …

Smelt pooling can occur in the dissolving tanks of kraft recovery boilers if smelt shattering is
insufficient. In this work, a transient, three-dimensional CFD model is presented, including …

Micro-tubular turbines are compact hydroelectric devices that harness flowing water to
produce electricity, offering an eco-friendly solution for farms near water sources. This …

During kraft chemical recovery, smelt created in a recovery boiler is shattered into droplets
before falling into a dissolving tank. Although a rare occurrence, highly viscous smelt is …

An effective and safe dissolving tank operation is essential to the proper management of a
kraft recovery process. While dissolving tank explosions that lead to equipment damage …
