Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research work is to investigate how flame images are related to the combustion conditions in a natural gas-fired furnace. In this research a digital analysis of combustion flam images is conducted and a LabView application is developed to demonstrate a simulated, real-time flame image analysis. Techniques of digital image processing are utilized to investigate the field image data acquired in natural gas fired furnaces with a persicope. The image analysis portion focuses on image cropping, color model conversion, and unwanted background elimination. A computer code was developed to facilitate the analytical process. A decision tree method is used to classify image features obtained in a varying combustion conditions. Finally, flame images, image features, natural gas flow rate, and spectrum data are incroporated in a LabView flame images provides a useful tool to analyze the combustion process. The final results in this project demonstrate that digital image analysis techniques can be successfully employed in the investigation of combustion flame characteristics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A promising architecture is proposed in this research work for evaluating gasfired furnace flame combustion quality. The quality assessment is based on information on its fuel and oxidizer flow rate level which are the main ingredient for the combustion reaction. The relative composition of the two determines the overall quality of the combustion and a proper balance is needed for optimum combustion in order to avoid wasting expensive fuel or producing hazardous emissions. The proposed system utilizes a combination of image processing and machine learning techniques integrated with artificial intelligence techniques in providing combustion status that is derived directly from the captured color images of the furnace flame. The proposed system performs all of its functional capabilities on both fuel and oxidizer automatically and provides results in seconds or near real-time.
Download or read book Independent Validation and Verification of Process Design and Optimization Technology Diagnostic and Control of Natural Gas Fired Furnaces Via Flame Image Analysis Technology written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Department of Energy, Industrial Technologies Program has invested in emerging Process Design and Optimizations Technologies (PDOT) to encourage the development of new initiatives that might result in energy savings in industrial processes. Gas fired furnaces present a harsh environment, often making accurate determination of correct air/fuel ratios a challenge. Operation with the correct air/fuel ratio and especially with balanced burners in multi-burner combustion equipment can result in improved system efficiency, yielding lower operating costs and reduced emissions. Flame Image Analysis offers a way to improve individual burner performance by identifying and correcting fuel-rich burners. The anticipated benefit of this technology is improved furnace thermal efficiency, and lower NOx emissions. Independent validation and verification (V & V) testing of the FIA technology was performed at Missouri Forge, Inc., in Doniphan, Missouri by Environ International Corporation (V & V contractor) and Enterprise Energy and Research (EE & R), the developer of the technology. The test site was selected by the technology developer and accepted by Environ after a meeting held at Missouri Forge. As stated in the solicitation for the V & V contractor, 'The objective of this activity is to provide independent verification and validation of the performance of this new technology when demonstrated in industrial applications. A primary goal for the V & V process will be to independently evaluate if this technology, when demonstrated in an industrial application, can be utilized to save a significant amount of the operating energy cost. The Seller will also independently evaluate the other benefits of the demonstrated technology that were previously identified by the developer, including those related to product quality, productivity, environmental impact, etc'. A test plan was provided by the technology developer and is included as an appendix to the summary report submitted by Environ (Appendix A). That plan required the V & V contractor to: (1) Establish the as-found furnace operating conditions; (2) Tune the furnace using currently available technology to establish baseline conditions; (3) Tune the furnace using the FIA technology; and (4) Document the improved performance that resulted from application of the FIA technology. It is important to note that the testing was not designed to be a competition or comparison between two different methodologies that could be used for furnace tuning. Rather, the intent was to quantify improvements in furnace performance that could not be achieved with existing technology. Therefore, the measure of success is improvement beyond the furnace efficiency obtainable using existing furnace optimization methods rather than improvement from the as found condition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustion or burning is an exothermic reaction between a substance and a gas to release heat. Combustion normally occurs in oxygen (often in the form of gaseous O2 ) to form oxides, However, combustion can also take place in other gases like chlorine. The products of such reactions usually include water (H2 O) as well as carbon monoxide (CO) or carbon dioxide (CO2 ), or both. Other by-products, such as partially reacted fuel and elemental carbon (C), may generate visible smoke and soot. This book presents leading research from around the world in this frontal field.
