Abstract:
A gas turbine combustor has a premixing burner for jetting out a premixed gas of fuel and air. A stabilizer forms a circulation of combustion gas generated by combustion of the premixed gas at the downstream side of the stabilizer to stabilize flame formed by the combustion of the premixed gas. Before the operation of the combustor, a relationship between a temperature of the stabilizer and combustion conditions of the premixed gas is checked. Thereafter during operation of the combustor, the temperature of the stabilizer is measured during combustion and the combustion conditions are checked according to only the measured temperature of the stabilizer and the aforesaid relationship. The stabilizer has a heat receiving surface at the most downstream side thereof. The temperature of a portion of the stabilizer around the heat receiving surfaces measured to allow an accurate assessment of the combustion conditions.
Abstract:
A hybrid integrated circuit of the invention is formed of an insulation substrate, a thick film conductor printed and sintered on the insulation substrate, and a terminal conductor and a circuit part connected to the first thick film conductor. A first electrically conductive metal plate is brazed on the first thick film conductor and connects the circuit part and the first terminal. Electric current between the circuit part and the first terminal mostly flows through the metal plate.
Abstract:
A gas turbine combustor is capable of reducing NOx over a whole load range of a gas turbine. The combustor comprises two burner systems. It is possible to independently control a flow rate of combustion air supplied to a burner of the respective systems and a flow rate of bypass air jetted from through a bypass air port. The air supplied to the burners is mixed with fuel in a mixing chamber and then ejected into a combustion chamber so as to form a flame. The amount of bypass air is controlled in accordance with an operation load, a humidity of air and a heating value of fuel. It is therefore possible to prevent any blow off and reduce NOx over the whole load range of the gas turbine.
Abstract:
A low-NOx boiler comprises a burner for burning gaseous fuel, heat transfer pipes heating water by combustion heat of the burner to generate steam and having a passage through which water flows, a steam drum communicating with the heat transfer pipe and accumulating the steam from the heat transfer pipe, and an exhaust gas duct located in the furnace to exhaust combustion gas generated by combustion of gaseous fuel outside of the boiler. The boiler further comprises unburnt gas burner in the exhaust gas duct for burning unburnt content in the combustion gas flowing in the duct. The unburnt gas burner includes a nozzle for injecting premixture flow of fuel and combustion air and flame holding plate located near the downstream side of the outlet of the nozzle to interrupt the premixture flow to form a circulating flow on downstream side of the flame holding plate. As gaseous fuel and air are mixed in advance and a flame is formed, the flame length can be shortened. Furthermore, the flame holding plate enables to reduce NOx generated. Unburnt gas burner provided in the exhaust gas duct makes it possible to notably reduce the concentration of NOx discharged to the outside of the system.
Abstract:
A substrate consisting of a compound semiconductor crystal, a buffer layer, a graded layer, a light-absorbing layer having a lattice constant smaller than that of the uppermost mixed crystal sublayer of the graded layer, a p-type conductive layer, another p-type conductive layer, and a capping layer formed on the surface of the light-absorbing layer next to the p-type conductive layer and having almost the same lattice constant as that of the uppermost layer of the graded layer are stacked. An electrode is connected to the substrate, and another electrode is connected to the conductive layer. A tensile force is applied to the light-absorbing layer from the uppermost mixed crystal sublayer of the graded layer, the capping layer, and the conductive layer, thereby suppressing a dark current.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a warm rolling method for high Si steel strips, in which the steel strip is connected at both ends with leader strips which are excellent in cold or warm workability, and the ends of the leader strips are connected to tension reels for undertaking warm rolling on the steel strip. Whereby the leader strips are passed through rolls, the rolls can be preheated, and further whereby the both tension reels are disposed within warming furnaces and at least one of the leader strips is made longer than a distance between the tension reels, recovery treatment between passes can be carried out on the steel strip in the full length.
Abstract:
A plurality of catalyst assemblies each have a plurality of sheet catalysts which are arranged in parallel to each other with distances thereby to define a plurality of gas passages. The catalyst assemblies are stacked in a catalytic reactor so that the width direction of the sheet catalysts of one of the catalyst assemblies will traverse the width direction of the sheet catalysts of each of the immediately adjacent assemblies, whereby leading edges of the sheet catalysts of each assembly are exposed to a gas to be treated rising upward in the gas passages.
Abstract:
A toothbrush having a handle and a rubber-like brushing structure having a plurality of brushing projections and mounted on the forward part of the handle is further provided with a rigid frame member surrounding the side surface of the brushing structure and engaged with the latter in a projection-and-recess relation, the frame member being bonded to the handle for indirectly securing the brushing structure to the handle, and the "hardness" in operation of the toothbrush, i.e., the brushing projections, being adjusted by varying the height of the frame member measured perpendicularly to the lengthwise direction of the handle.
Abstract:
A camera includes a plurality of photosensors disposed on an imaging surface. The photosensors separately output respective photodetection signals, and are grouped into a plurality of photosensitive units each including at least two of the photosensors. The photosensors of each of the photosensitive units have respective detection wavelength ranges which do not overlap one another. The photodetection signals outputted from selected ones of the photosensors of each of the photosensitive units are used in performing spectrum analysis. R (red), G (green), and B (blue) signals are synthesized from the photodetection signals outputted from the photosensors of each of the photosensitive units and are used in displaying an ordinary color image.
