Title: Physical flow model study of the Ohio Power Company's 12-MW duct injection test facility in Beverly, Ohio

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6993380· OSTI ID:6993380

This is a three-year program to advance the state of the art of duct injection technology in existing coal-fired power plants to reduce SO{sub 2} emissions. Tasks include: duct configuration survey; enhanced sorbent utilization; fundamental investigations of duct and electrostatic precipitator (ESP) phenomena; scale-up tests and supporting research; and prototype development, for which UE C is the prime contractor. The Babcock and Wilcox (B W) Alliance (Ohio) Research Center's (ARC) Heat Transfer Fluid Mechanics Section has two major tasks that support UE C's development activity. The first is to perform a physical flow model study of the existing test duct located at the Ohio Power Company's Muskingum River Station Unit No. 5 in Beverly, Ohio. The second is to develop a second-generation mathematical model that describes the performance of the duct injection process and the collection of the fly ash/spent-sorbent mixture in an ESP. This report will cover only the physical flow modeling. 14 figs., 4 tabs.
