Influence of the Mixing Ratio on Combustion Parameters for Mixed Refuse Derived Fuel

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the effect of the percentage mixture of refuse derived fuels created from industrial waste on selected combustion parameters resulting from the mixture of the fuels, whose principal component is coal. The selected combustion parameters are; the lower explosive limit (LEL), maximum explosion pressure (pmax), maximum rate of the rise in pressure (dp/dt)max) and the cubic constant (KSt). The paper also includes a description of the test equipment and methods by which the tests of the combustion variables were carried out.
