The slag deposited on the wall tubes in the coal-fired boiler or radiant syngas cooler (RSC) of the entrained flow gasifier could reduce the heat transfer efficiency and degrade the tubes by corrosion. During the operation of the boiler or RSC, the rapping-off-ash method is an effective method to remove slag deposits, especially in a high-pressure environment. The operating parameters of the rapping-off-ash method are related to the modal parameters of wall tubes, including the natural frequency, damping ratio, and mode shapes. In
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
