- The paper describes a novel approach of incorporating a fast and accurate radiation heat transfer model into a commercial process simulation software (Aspen-Plus). This work with Warwick University is significant because it enables thermal boundary conditions of the furnace inner walls to be predicted implicitly during the time-dependent dynamic simulation of the thermal performances of fluidized-bed boilers. This is particularly useful for the design and evaluation of the operational flexibility of fluidized-bed boilers under varying conditions which in the past could not be effectively dealt with by the sequential modular strategy in Aspen-plus.
