| Popis: | Carbon dioxide is a major source of the green house effect and, therefore, fuel saving techniques are expected to reduce emissions. Yet, in some cases, energy saving techniques may result in higher CO 2 emissions. For instance, when natural gas is mixed with waste blast furnace gas, energy savings are associated with higher CO 2 emissions. To confirm this proposition we have constructed a model of a furnace by using energy-object network that consists of modules of convective heat exchangers, combustion and stream mixing. |
