    Active acoustic method was adopted to measure and reconstruct an air velocity field in a tangentially fired furnace, based on rare data achieved. From the point of view of physical and mathematical laws obeyed by air velocity field in the furnace, and using its effective apriori knowledge, an algorithm was first proposed for fitting the solenoidal component of a velocity field by means of a Gaussian curved surface, with which the 2D cross-sectional air velocity field was reconstructed based on the law of mass conversation and related boundary conditions. By typical simulations and sufficient experimental measurements in a lab-scale model furnace, the algorithm has been proved to be feasible and reliable. This may serve as a reference for further researches on similar measurements, theoretically and experimentally.

    Pressure data of wind caps in a cold-state bubbling fluidized-bed test rig were analyzed by means of collecting pressure signals at entrance of the wind caps, performing pressure signal denoising with the help of wavelet method, reconstructing phase space of relevant time series data and calculating correlation dimension of the reconstructed phase space using G-P algorithm. Results show that the pressure fluctuation signals of wind caps in bubbling fluidized bed have chaos characteristics. The time delay, coinciding with the point where the autocorrelation function reaches a value of 0.1, is found to be more appropriate. Under typical experimental conditions, the correlation dimension rises with increasing superficial gas velocity and reducing static bed height.

    By analyzing the boiler heat input calculation methods specified in different standards, it is found that for the same unit under same operation conditions, only when the benchmark temperature, the fuel temperature and the inlet air temperature of air preheater are equal, and no steam is consumed for oil atomization, will the boiler thermal efficiency obtained based on different standards and the standard coal consumption rate thus gained be completely the same. According to the anti-balance calculation expression of boiler thermal efficiency, using differential method combined with Taylor formula, a calculation method is proposed for variation of boiler thermal efficiency and standard coal consumption rate caused by deviation of fuel temperature, inlet air temperature of air preheater, benchmark temperature adopted and the coal grade from corresponding reference data. The method is subsequently verified with two 300 MW condensing type units. Results show that the boiler thermal efficiency and standard coal consumption rate are comparable among different units under experimental conditions when they are corrected to the same benchmark parameters.

    Aiming at the vibration problems frequently occurring in operation of domestic 600 MW turbo-generator sets, an analysis has been carried out on the vibration phenomenon, feature, mechanism and the causes, while various countermeasures for on-site dynamic balancing summarized. Results show that large vibration disturbance exists in domestic 600 MW high- and medium-pressure rotors due to their asymmetric structures, to overcome which, the disturbance coefficient of various vibration modes and orders should be considered during on-site dynamic balancing process of rotors, especially the influence of one-order weighing on two-order vibration mode. The abnormal vibration occurring in low-pressure cylinder of some domestic sets are caused by insufficient rigidity of supports for relevant bearing seats, which may be handled by fine dynamic balancing on site. The vibration of generator rotor is mainly of the three-order mode, which may be corrected by adding balancing weight on the shaft coupling between low-pressure rotor and generator rotor, or on the shaft coupling between generator rotor and exciter rotor, in consideration of the distortion of vibration mode. The vibration of electricity gathering shaft is highly affected by the installation quality of the shaft coupling between generator rotor and exciter rotor, for which attention should be paid to the influence of weighing response at bottom opening of the shaft coupling between generator rotor and exciter rotor, during corresponding dynamic balancing analysis on site.

    By analyzing the cases of rotor cracks in turbine-generator units at home and abroad, the crack faults are found to be caused mainly by vibration, stress concentration, thermal stress and environmental corrosion, etc. Development tendencies of both the vibration and cracking are revealed, while the basis for fault diagnosis of rotor cracks proposed. Countermeasures for prevention of rotor cracks are simultaneously put forward, such as reducing the times of peaking operation, prolonging the warming-up period during start-up and shut-down, controlling the vibration level and concentrating on examining the areas where cracks frequently occur.

    Considering the uncertainty of turbine blade design parameters, static response of blade was studied based on non-probabilistic reliability theory and interval finite element method. To avoid the correlation possibly existing among the coefficients of interval finite element equations determined by uncertain parameters, the non-linear interval stiffness matrix was linearized using Taylor expansion, while the interval finite element equations solved by use of the improved iterative algorithm so as to obtain fluctuation range of blade’s structural static response (stress and deformation). Combined with examples, a comparison has been made to the static response respectively obtained by analytical method and improved iterative algorithm. Results show that the improved iterative algorithm can satisfy the requirement of actual engineering projects, which may help to quantitatively determine the reliability of blade.

    The temperature field and acoustic ray distribution near water wall of a boiler were studied at hot state theoretically and experimentally, after which a local overheating monitoring system was developed based on acoustic pyrometry and subsequently tested in a domestic 300 MW boiler unit. Results show that it is completely feasible for acoustic pyrometry to be applied for local overheating monitoring of water walls; the acoustic ray near water wall bends toward high-temperature side in the furnace at hot-state; as a reference standard, the flue gas temperature measured by the system can accurately react the temperature variation of water wall on the side facing the fire; linear sweep signal can be taken as the sound source in acoustic pyrometry, and the best frequency range is found to be within 500-3 000 Hz; via cross correlation time delay estimation (TDE) method adopted in the system, the flight time of acoustic wave can be calculated accurately.

    To overcome the deficiency of time-domain response analysis, and by analyzing the frequency spectrum characteristics of step signals, it is pointed out that the step signal can be taken as an ideal frequency excitation signal source, and the step response analysis is firstly believed applicable not only in time domain, but also in frequency domain. A single-frequency-pass filter has been developed for step response analysis in frequency domain. Simulation and application results prove the analysis method to be effective and accurate.

    Flow and heat transfer characteristics on surface of a moving flat plate impinged by an oblique confined slot-jet were numerically studied using Reynolds stress turbulence model and SIMPLIC algorithm, so as to investigate how the jet angle and plate velocity influence the turbulent kinetic energy near the wall and the Nusselt number distribution on plate surface. Results show that the jet angle and plate velocity play an important role in influencing the turbulent kinetic energy and the Nusselt number distribution. When the jetting angle is in the same direction as the moving plate, turbulent kinetic energy near the wall increases while local Nusselt number at the impinging point decreases with rising plate speed. The average Nusselt number decreases initially and then increases substantially with the increase of plate velocity. At high plate velocity, jet angle affects little on average heat transfer efficiency of the plate surface. Under the condition that the jet angle is 80°, the moving direction of plate is opposite to the incidence angle of jet flow, and the jet flow rate is same as that of the moving plate, better effects of turbulence and heat transfer will be obtained on the wall surface.

    For the purpose of energy saving, it is meaningful to quantitatively analyze the influence of upper terminal temperature difference of a heater on the coal consumption rate in a coal-fired power plant. To overcome the deficiency of previous calculation methods, a general strength matrix calculation model was established with gradient operator based on the unified physical and mathematic model in thermal economy analysis, which was later on applied to the calculation for a 600 MW unit under typical working conditions. Results show that the model has simple structure, less calculation, high precision and strong universality; the strength matrix can be directly used to quantitatively and qualitatively analyze the influence of the upper terminal temperature difference on the coal consumption rate; the influence of terminal temperature difference on thermal economy of power plant has a relationship not only to the value of the temperature difference itself, but also to the location and structure of the heater, therefore it is suggested that great attention should be paid to the influence of terminal temperature differences with high strength factors on the unit economy.

    The influence of flue gas entrance angle on gas-liquid flow field in an ammonia desulphurization tower has been simulated numerically by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) algorithm. To solve the governing equations for gas-liquid two phases, standard k-ε model and DPM model are separately used, and during the solution of discrete phase, unsteady second-order implicit time scheme is applied, of which the results are compared and analyzed at different entrance angles (6°, 9°, 12° and 15°). Results show that the entrance angles of 9° and 12° are believed to be appropriate considering of energy loss and mixing degree of gas-liquid; uniform flue gas distribution forms at entrance angles of 12°and 15°, in which cases adequate mixing of gas-liquid two phases can be achieved while the space in desulphurization tower completely used. Taking into account the influence of the uniformity of gas flow field, the resistance in desulphurization tower, the mixing degree of gas-liquid two phases and the coverage range of liquid film, the optimal entrance angle is determined to be 12°.

    Unburned carbon in fly ash samples from three coal-fired power plants was measured and its adsorption capability on flue gas mercury was experimentally studied using vertical furnace system. Results show that the difference of unburned carbon content among three samples may be caused by different coal types, combustion conditions and unit parameters. For fly ash from the same power plant, its adsorption capability on flue gas mercury basically keeps the same before and after burning test. Besides unburned carbon in fly ash, residuals have also some effects on mercury adsorption. Fly ash with higher content of unburned carbon has also higher adsorption efficiency on flue gas mercury.

    Based on TGA test data, a detailed thermodynamic analysis has been performed using BP neural network model so as to predict the variation tendency of the activity, the reaction rate and the conversion rate of a calcium-based sorbent in calcination/carbonation cycles. Results show that the activity of the calcium-based sorbent reduces greatly with rising number of calcination/carbonation cycles; the activity and reaction rate may be affected not only by the cyclic number, but also by the physical property of sorbent, the calcination temperature, duration and atmosphere; PB neural network model may visually and accurately describe the carbonation cycles of calcium-based sorbent, and the model data may help to minimize the test frequency, which therefore may serve as a reference in simulation of calcination/carbonation cycles and the reactivity variation of calcium-based sorbents.
