Modeling the influence of the characteristics of renewable organic materials on the energy performance of the boiler

Abstract

Abstract The object of the modeling is the process of burning organic waste, depending on the nature of the origin of the fuel, its chemical and fractional composition, density and lower calorific value. Processing the results of experimental study using analysis of variance will allow to estimate the variance caused by each factor individually and determine the level of influence of the factors on the output parameters of the process. It is necessary to obtain not only the form of this dependence, relying on the experimental data, but also to assess the influence of each factor on the lower calorific value. The analysis of the obtained dependence shows that the airflow speed and the fractional composition of this fuel have the greatest influence on the efficiency of the boiler plant. Checking the significance of the coefficients showed that all the coefficients of this model are significant. The regression dependencies were obtained that estimate the lower calorific value and the efficiency of the boiler which burns briquettes from organic matter; the analysis of the obtained dependencies was carried out, the significance of the coefficients included in the model was checked; the composition factor has the greatest influence on the lower calorific value.
