How inconsistent is Energy Release

Assume the Biomass has a calorific value of 5000 Kcal / Kg
The matter of importance is not the content but how is it available in the system
With inconsistent carbon supply to combustion the heat generation can vary as thus
5000 = 200 + 300 + 500 + 1000 + 800 + 400 + 300 … etc
The total energy released is in bits and pieces which accumulates to 5000 Kcal / Kg and not released in one stroke
The difference is due to inconsistent availability of carbon to combustion

Heat Distribution 1

In boilers, Air is used as source for combustion as well as distribution media
Air is a poor conductor of heat
We use this Air as a heat distribution media
With solid carbon fuels we are working in combination of inconsistent carbon / heat source and a poor heat conductor
Both above factors reduce heat consistency availability at the tubes and hence absorption ratios keep varying

Heat Absorption

With the kind of heat which is inconsistently produced, inconsistently transferred you automatically derive inconsistent absorption
The steam quality inconsistency is proof of these variations
So our boilers are efficient as they are today in these most variable conditions

Normal Thermodynamic Equilibrium in our Boilers

With inconsistent fuel properties, inconsistent distribution properties of air, inconsistent absorption at tubes
We derive an inconsistent thermal system
The boiler Thermodynamic equilibrium is dynamic, inconsistent and unstable
Hence our boilers show a low degree of transfer efficiency and absorption efficiency due to variations in heat generation

The Kyoto Protocol is an

international agreement

for countries (Malaysia included)

to cut their greenhouse gas emissions

- partly responsible for global warming

Countries under the Kyoto Protocol

agreement have to cut their combined

emissions to 5% below 1990 levels by

2008 – 2012

Malaysia has officially declared

a 10% on energy savings *
