Abstract:
A burner, particularly for use in thermophotovoltaic (TPV) applications, is provided having a fuel distribution tube with integrated swirl vanes adjacent exit holes in the sides of the fuel distribution tube, a ceramic burner cap attached the top end of the fuel distribution tube and a liquid fuel being provided through a fuel feed tube protruding through the bottom end of the fuel distribution tube, thereby forming a burner assembly. The burner assembly fits slidably into a cylindrical burner sleeve which forces primary combustion air through a passage formed between the sleeve and the swirl vanes. The primary combustion air mixes with the fuel in the vanes and burner slot formed between the burner cap and sleeve. The fuel feed tube used to supply fuel to the burner is a heated tube having a small orifice at the burner end. The tube is heated using an internal heater that vaporizes the fuel and can also use recuperated heat from the burner combustion process.
Gas Sampling System For Reactive Gas-Solid Mixtures

Assignee:
The Babcock & Wilcox Company - New Orleans LA
International Classification:
G01N 122
US Classification:
7386325
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for sampling gas containing a reactive particulate solid phase flowing through a duct and for communicating a representative sample to a gas analyzer. A sample probe sheath 32 with an angular opening 34 extends vertically into a sample gas duct 30. The angular opening 34 is opposite the gas flow. A gas sampling probe 36 concentrically located within sheath 32 along with calibration probe 40 partly extends in the sheath 32. Calibration probe 40 extends further in the sheath 32 than gas sampling probe 36 for purging the probe sheath area with a calibration gas during calibration.

A fuel cell system is provided. The fuel cells system may be a segmented-in-series, solid-oxide fuel cell system. The system may comprise a fuel cell tube. The fuel cell tube may comprise a substrate having a first and second ends and a pair of generally planar opposing major surfaces extending between the ends. The fuel cell may further comprise a plurality of fuel disposed on one of the major surfaces proximate the first end of the substrate. The fuel cell tube may further comprise a sheet conductor. The sheet conductor may be electrically coupled to the plurality of fuel cells and may provide an electrical path from a location on one of the major surfaces to a location on the other the major surfaces proximate a first end of the substrate.
