Numerical investigation on the flow field, temperature distribution and swirl in small-scale tangential firing furnace
This paper presents a numerical investigation of the flow and combustion behaviour in a small-scale tangential firing furnace to study the occurrence of flow and temperature deviation without the influence of upper furnace structures. Particular emphasis is given to the flue gas flow field, velocity...
