Abstract
Investigation shall be conducted in three thematically correlated directions: 1) development and improvement of technologies for utilization of several types of biomass; 2) analysis of chemical processes developing during combustion and heat and mass transfer in furnaces and vortical flows; 3) improved production, harvesting, transport, storage and treatment of agricultural biomass. Expected key results: 1) assembled data base of agricultural and forest biomass characteristics and experimentally determined thermophysical properties of biomass bales; 2) improved combustion of biomass bales in cigar burners; 3) technology for fluidized bed (hereinafter FB) combustion of several types of biomass developed; 4) technology for combustion of small biomass sorts in low NOx vortex burners developed; 5) a prototype heat accumulator with salts utilized as a heat storage medium developed; 6) solution to the problem of fly ash residue from biomass combustion and its proper utilization or disposal proposed; 7) analysis of potential utilization of developed technologies in cogeneration cycle; 8) improved biomass bales combustion model; 9) a model of chopped biomass and air two-phase flow through vortex burner and furnace developed; 10) two dimensional steady-state CFD model of FB furnace developed; 11) a model of flow and thermal processes in heat accumulator utilizing a phase change developed; 12) production, harvesting, transport, storage and treatment of agricultural biomass improved.
