Development of an acoustically excited solid waste incinerator - Part II: Solid fuel ramjet analog
Published in
2000
Abstract
In the second part paper, the development of a solid fuel ramjet analog incinerator for solid waste is discussed. The incinerator port is acoustically excited by a dump plane at the head end of the combustor. The waste is placed in compacted form in an annular shape of circular cross-section, forming a relatively clean port for the acoustics to prevail. Cardboard is used as a surrogate waste in the present study. Initially, incineration of cardboard was performed at different air flow rates. The trend in the incineration rates did not show any preference for specific flow rates. In later experiments, acoustic drivers were used to excite the acoustic oscillations inside the combustor. The amplitude levels of the excited acoustics is in the 150-155 dB range. The imposed acoustics failed to enhance the incineration of the cardboard, contrary to what has been reported in the literature previously. © 2000 by S. V. Paroor, A. Hamoor, S.
