Abstract:The problem of identifying the dispersion number associated with the convective-radiative heat dispersion mechanism in an experimental gasification tubular reactor is addressed. The dependency of temperature response characteristics on the intensity and duration of a heat pulse input are characterized on the basis of a set of off-line experiments, finding that for the range of interest: (i) the coefficient of variation of the temporal temperature response depends almost linearly on the dispersion number, and (… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
