fluidized fuel
1Fluidized bed combustion — (FBC) is a combustion technology used in power plants. Fluidized beds suspend solid fuels on upward blowing jets of air during the combustion process. The result is a turbulent mixing of gas and solids. The tumbling action, much like a bubbling… …
2fluidized-bed — [flo͞o′ə dīzd΄bed′] adj. designating, of, or having to do with a process for burning coal, garbage, etc. to produce electricity, using a rising stream of hot air to support, churn, and burn a fluidlike bed of fuel particles mixed with sand, ash,… …

4Fluidized-bed combustion — A method of burning particulate fuel, such as coal, in which the amount of air required for combustion far exceeds that found in conventional burners. The fuel particles are continually fed into a bed of mineral ash in the proportions of 1 part …
5Fluidized Bed Combustion — (FBC) A type of furnace or reactor in which fuel particles are combusted while suspended in a stream of hot gas …
6circulating fluidized bed boiler — (or CFB boiler) A type of boiler where the solid fuel is fluidized in a vertical furnace. The advantage for the pet coke industry is that 100% very high sulfur coke can be burned. The sulfur is removed by addition of limestone in the bed which… …
7Spray nozzle — A spray nozzle is a device that facilitates the formation of spray. When a liquid is dispersed as a stream of droplets (atomization), it is called a spray. Spray nozzles are used to achieve two primary functions: increase liquid surface area to… …
8coal utilization — Introduction combustion of coal or its conversion into useful solid, gaseous, and liquid products. By far the most important use of coal is in combustion, mainly to provide heat to the boilers of electric power plants. Metallurgical coke… …
9Gasification — This article is about the process. For the water carbonator, see Gasogene. For the automobile device, see Wood gas generator. Sustainable energy …
