Data for model validation summary report. A summary of data for validation and benchmarking of recovery boiler models

One of the tasks in the project was to obtain data from operating recovery boilers for the purpose of model validation. Another task was to obtain water model data and computer output from University of British Columbia for purposes of benchmarking the UBC model against other codes. In the course of discussions on recovery boiler modeling over the course of this project, it became evident that there would be value in having some common cases for carrying out benchmarking exercises with different recovery boiler models. In order to facilitate such a benchmarking exercise, the data that was obtained on this project for validation and benchmarking purposes has been brought together in a single, separate report. The intent is to make this data available to anyone who may want to use it for model validation. The report contains data from three different cases. Case 1 is an ABBCE recovery boiler which was used for model validation. The data are for a single set of operating conditions. Case 2 is a Babcock & Wilcox recovery boiler that was modified by Tampella. In this data set, several different operating conditions were employed. The third case is water flow data supplied by UBC, along with computational output using the UBC code, for benchmarking purposes.
