Dynamic flow instability

Check the onset of dynamic flow instability in the heated channel, if the flow is under supercritical pressure or in film boiling, by using Eqs. (6-1) and (6-18). 

Implementation of advanced performance degradation models, necessitate the inclusion of advanced instrumentation and sensors such as pyrometers for monitoring hot section components, dynamic pressure transducers for detection of surge and other flow instabilities such as combustion especially in the new dry low NO combustors. To fully round out a condition monitoring system the use of expert systems in determining fault and life cycle of various components is a necessity.

The key to smooth operation of a CFB system is the effective control of the solids recirculation rate to the riser. The solids flow control device serves two major functions, namely, sealing riser gas flow to the downcomer and controlling solids circulation rate. Both mechanical valves or feeders (see Figs. 10.1(a) and (d)) and nonmechanical valves (see Figs. 10.1(b) and (c)) are used to perform these functions. Typical mechanical valves are rotary, screw, butterfly, and sliding valves. Nonmechanical valves include L-valves, J-valves (see Chapter 8), V-valves, seal pots, and their variations. Blowers and compressors are commonly used as the gas suppliers. Operating characteristics of these gas suppliers which are directly associated with the dynamics and instability of the riser operation must be considered (see 10.3.3.2).
