Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for calibrating a flow meter having an array of sensors arranged in relation to a pipe that measures a flow rate of a fluid flowing in the pipe. The method features the step of calibrating the flow rate using a calibration correction function based on one or more parameters that characterize either the array of sensors, the pipe, the fluid flowing in the pipe, or some combination thereof. The calibration correction function depends on either a ratio t/D of the pipe wall thickness (t) and the pipe inner diameter (D); a ratio t/? of the pipe wall thickness (t) and the eddie wavelength (?) of the fluid; a Reynolds number (?UD/?) that characterizes the fluid flow in the pipe; a ratio ?x/D of the sensor spacing (?x) and the pipe inner diameter (D); a ratio f?x/Umeas of usable frequencies in relation to the sensor spacing (?x) and the raw flow rate (Umeas); or some combination thereof.

Abstract: Combustion of petroleum coke using air to carry the fuel into a combustion zone and to provide a source of oxidant. Enhanced combution utilizes oxygen introduced into or proximate primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, or over-fire air to effect primary combustion of the fuel. Petroleum coke fuel in an oxygen supported air-petroleum coke combustion process can be used to re-power a utility boiler.
