TY - JOUR TI - Effect of secondary air on soot nucleus production in stoker-fired boilers AU - Wang Qing-Cheng AU - Wu Zhao-Chun JN - Thermal Science PY - 2013 VL - 17 IS - 5 SP - 1317 EP - 1321 PT - Article AB - Black smoke emission and soot nucleus production in a stoker-fired boiler by secondary air are studied numerically and experimentally. Temperature field, flow field, and soot nucleus concentration are predicted numerically. It reveals that the secondary air gives about 10% reduction of the soot nucleus production, and the black smoke emission is controlled evidently.
