The boilers are of water-wall construction with the walls in the bed region lined with refractory to protect against erosion and abrasion damage. The heat released in the bed is removed from the flue gas by the exposed water walls and by convection pass tubing set in the gas path after the boiler. The coal boilers included multiclones to collect elutriated carbon and recycle it back to the boiler to increase combustion efiiciency. However, because biomass is more reactive, recycle is not required. 

Equation (6.16) indicates that the maximum brittle wear occurs at ct = 90°, i.e., normal collision. The variation of the ratio of Eb to Bm (= B( m, b)) with a as a function of Kb is plotted on the basis of Eq. (6.16) as given in Fig. 6.7. The figure reflects that for a given Kb, the degree of abrasive damage due to brittle erosion may be estimated from the given particle flow pattern. 

Hie disturbance by abrasive action of the orderly arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be detected by x-ray diffraction early experiments demonstrated such phenomena (3). Armstrong (4) has described a number of x-ray techniques which have been used on inorganic materials such as quartz. Surface abrasion damage was a major problem in the technology of... 

In one of the earliest studies of abrasion damage Clarke and Hopkins (25, 26) found that sandblasting germanium produced a surface layer of relatively high p-type conductivity. The... 

The available data do not provide a detailed picture of the nature of abrasion damage on germanium and silicon. A complete description would have to explain the effects on various phenomena such as x-ray rocking curves, etching rates, lifetime of minority carriers and conductivity. The measurable effects on the first three of these are felt to about the same depth. (The conductivity data are not directly comparable). 

For many applications, especially technical applications, textiles should be protected against physical or chemical assault, for example abrasion, damage by UV radiation and aggressive chemicals. This can be achieved by thin crosslinked layers of inorganic or mixed inorganic-organic polymers on the fibre surface " These special finishes are carried out with common techniques at moderate processing temperatures that do not exceed 150 °C and result in very thin polymer films on the fibre surface. 

Armor pads can be designed to hang over the inside of car doors,drape overseat backs or even hang from the tops of door frames to serve as removable window curtains.Pads should be enclosed in canvas or cotton duck covers to add stability and prevent dirt and abrasion damage. 

Flushing buffer from LC prevents corrosive abrasive damage. 

Moreover, it has been speculated that the pellicle layer protects the tooth surface against abrasive damage and excessive tooth wear [86, 87], However, systematic investigations on the effect and influence of the salivary pellicle on tooth wear are lacking. 

The NS-100 membrane, being the first of a kind, was by no means optimum in chemistry and performance. Flux was only marginally attractive for desalination, sensitivity to chlorine was extreme, and the barrier surface was thin and brittle. In commercial fabrication trials, overcoating of the membrane surface with a layer of water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol was practiced in order to overcome its brittleness and susceptibility to abrasion damage during handling and spiral element fabrication. 

Typical mechanical processes include development of internal stress due to local variation in swelling processes or abrasive damage to plastic surfaces exposed to aqueous solutions at high impact rates (e.g., in natural weather exposure). 

Other atmospheric factors such as gaseous impurities in the air (e.g. sulfur dioxide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, ozone, carbon dioxide, halogen compounds, or formaldehyde) and solid impurities in the atmosphere (airborne dust, sand, and soot) result in an acceleration of aging processes in polymers. Whereas the effects of the gaseous impurities on polymers are mainly chemical in nature, the solid particles mostly cause abrasive damage to the plastic surface. 

Fibers rub against each other in assemblies when stretched, bent or sheared. Textile materials also rub against tissues and bones when used as implants. The friction and adhesion involved in such contacts cause surface damage, which adversely affects the long-term performance of an implant. Also, the particles generated by the friction/adhesion processes can cause a reaction and lead to inflammation of the surrounding tissues. Consequently, the ability of polymers and fibers to resist abrasion damage is an important... 

Without losing sight of filtration requirements, the media manufacturer must also take account of the physical forces that will be imposed on the fabric by the equipment itself in particular, the effect that these forces will have on the fabric s resistance to stretch, its resistance to flexing, or its abrasion resistance, the last in this instance is through contact with rough, possibly corroded metal surfaces. In some cases, special reinforcement patches have to be stitched to the cloth during fabrication to avert potential abrasion damage inflicted by the filter. 

Two-phase systems of fine dispersed solids in a continuous gas stream are quite common in many processing industries dealing with dry solids operations. In diverse processes such as the dry milling of grains, some combustion reactions, or the grinding of raw materials in the cement industry, fine solids may be released to the surrounding air as part of their normal operation. Tiny solid particles (dust) produced in many processes may become airborne and carried out by air currents. There are many problems associated with dust emissions, such as health hazards, abrasion damage to equipment, impaired... 

Unlike many synthetic substitutes, leather lacks uniformity and is subject to chemical deterioration, water penetration, and abrasion damage, even though it is already a versatile material.
