Abstract: | A cold physical model to a scale of 1:33 of a solid waste incinerator was designed and constructed of transparent material. Experimentation aimed at optimizing gas flow patterns in the furnace for low-pollutant combustion. Flames were simulated by acid-base neutralization. Secondary air flow distribution and direction were identified as the controlling parameters of the flow pattern. The best possible air distribution for a desired flame shape and gas mixing was determined. Streamline plots for verification of the mathematical models were obtained. |
