Experimental Measurements of the Thermal conductivity of Ash Deposits: Part 2. Effects of sintering and Deposit Microstructure

摘要

This paper describes an experimental study that examines the influence of sintering and microstructure on ash deposit thermal conductivity. The measurements are made using a technique developed to make in situ, time-resolved measurements of the effective thermal conductivity of ash deposits formed under conditions that closely replicate those found in the convective pass of a commercial boiler.
