Optical flame scanners are commonly used in flame supervision systems (FSS) for the purpose of protection against of flame loss inside the combustion chamber. The presence or absence of flame is indicated by the scanner according to analysis of electromagnetic radiation changes in the wavelength range 700÷1700 nm emitted by supervised flame. The use of digital signal processing technology in IR spectrum allows to recognize the supervised flame with very high ability and allows to use the signals for combustion process analysis. Electromagnetic field disturbances in the infrared due to changes in the flame, are determined by the combustion process properties in burner zone i.e. the burner heat load, excess air ratio, temperature of PF mixture, the amount and swirl of primary and secondary air. The ability of use the information provided by the scanners - in this unique parameters supervised flame i.e. flame temperature, power spectral density and the radiation amplitude changes - became the basis for the initiation of studies regarding the optical flame scanners use for combustion process analysis. The paper presents the first results of work on the use of optical flame scanners in the analysis of combustion process in 650 t/h live steam power boiler in EDF Power Plant in Rybnik. The boiler is supplied by 5 coal mill units, each of coal mills supplies 4 pulverized coal burners (PF burners). The boiler has a start-up installation consisting of 12 heavy oil burners placed in PF burners and individually controlled by 12 flame scanners. Based on the analysis of the measuring data obtained from scanners an assessment of the quality of the combustion process for 2 coal mill units (8 PF burners) have been done.
The paper presents an analysis of the results of ultrasound transmission tomography (UTT) imaging of the internal structure of a breast elastography phantom used for biopsy training, and compares them with the results of CT, MRI and, conventional US imaging; the results of the phantom examination were the basis for the analysis of UTT method resolution. The obtained UTT, CT and MRI images of the CIRS Model 059 breast phantom structure show comparable (in the context of size and location) heterogeneities inside it. The UTT image of distribution of the ultrasound velocity clearly demonstrates continuous changes of density. The UTT image of derivative of attenuation coefficient in relation to frequency is better for visualising sharp edges, and the UTT image of the distribution of attenuation coefficient visualises continuous and stepped changes in an indirect way. The inclusions visualized by CT have sharply delineated edges but are hardly distinguishable from the phantom gel background even with increased image contrast. MRI images of the studied phantom relatively clearly show inclusions in the structure. Ultrasonography images do not show any diversification of the structure of the phantom. The obtained examination results indicate that, if the scanning process is accelerated, ultrasound transmission tomography method can be successfully used to detect and diagnose early breast malignant lesions. Ultrasonic transmission tomography imaging can be applied in medicine for diagnostic examination of women’s breasts and similarly for X-ray computed tomography, while eliminating the need to expose patients to the harmful ionising radiation.
