TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current and future issues related to the combustion of sewage sludge is presented, and a number of technologies for thermal processing of sludge are discussed in three groups, i.e., mono-combustion, cocombustions and alternative processes.

TL;DR: Conditional moment closure (CMC) as mentioned in this paper is a well-known method for the prediction of turbulent reacting flows, with particular emphasis on combustion, and has been used extensively in the literature.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sliding arc discharge starts at the shortest distance between the electrodes, then moves with the gas flow at a velocity of about 10m/s and the length l of the arc column increases together with the voltage.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the state-of-the-art of the various components or submodels that are required in a comprehensive combustion model is presented, and representative applications of comprehensive combustion models are summarized, and three sets of model simulations are compared with experimental data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the status of elastic light scattering, focusing on recent developments, rather than being over-repetitive of earlier reviews, but considerable background is included with the aim of making the paper self-contained.

TL;DR: A review of the work carried out during the last two decades by a group in Rouen, on Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches for predicting the behaviour of discrete particles in turbulent flows is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: A critical review of the studies performed to investigate combustion-chamber crevices as sources of hydrocarbon (HC) emissions, and an evaluation of potential technologies for reducing these emissions is presented in this article.

TL;DR: In this article, a predictive scheme based on CCSEM flyash data and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was developed to study the slagging propensity of coals, which was applied to predict the deposition potential of three UK coals; Bentinck, Daw Mill and Silverdale, in a pilot scale single burner ash deposition test facility.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the sources of the high engine-out hydrocarbon emissions during cold starting of port-injected gasoline engines is made during the startup process, and the contribution of each cylinder of a four-stroke V6, 3.3l production engine in the total HC emissions is investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the velocity-composition PDF method is selected for implementation in a new comprehensive model that uses an unstructured-grid flow solver, and reduced mechanisms for methane combustion are evaluated in a partially stirred reactor model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review and discuss the current status of the application of laser-based techniques to the absolute concentration measurements of atoms and radicals in flames and compare these measurements with computer simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a brief description of the kraft process, review the experimental and theoretical advances on combustion of kraft-liquor drops during the 1980s and 1990s, and reexamine the results of an earlier combustion study in which black-luquor drops were observed in free flight at temperatures near those in recovery boilers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of scrubbers for condensing boilers is described based on the use of the condensate for washing the flue gas, which allows the wet separation of noxious matter and avoids acid corrosion of materials in the area of condensation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the application of Newton's third law in all branches of physics, namely: special relativity, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, circuit and antenna theory.
