This is a comprehensive, critical, and pedagogical review of volumetric emission
tomography for combustion processes. Many flames that are of interest to scientists and …

Low-volatile fuels such as anthracite and lean coal are widely used in power generators
throughout the world. In comparison with tangential-fired and wall-arranged furnaces, down …

In this paper, a 600 MWe Babcock & Wilcox boiler is selected as the research object.
Numerical simulation and field experiments have been applied to this study under original …

This paper presents an experimental investigation, visualization and validation in the three-
dimensional (3D) reconstruction of flame temperature and emissivity distributions by using …

To assure stable ignition and combustion of low-volatile coals in conventionally configured
boilers, storage systems are commonly used to separate the ground coal from the air or gas …

A novel combustion system has been applied to a 600 MW e down-fired boiler to reduce NO
x emissions without producing an obvious increase in the carbon content of fly ash. The …

A method based on multi-spectral light-field imaging technique is developed for the
simultaneous reconstruction of the multi-dimensional inhomogeneous temperature …

Measurement of three-dimensional temperature field of a flame plays a significant role in in-
depth insight into combustion process. This paper proposes a novel optical sectioning …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of temperature distributions can be used to
effectively design power plants and ensure production safety. Typically, 3D temperature …

This paper presents a systematic study on improving the performance of a 300 MW down-
fired pulverized-coal utility boiler by inclining downward the F-layer secondary air (SA). A …
