Abstract: An object is to curb damage localized in a slag capturing portion caused when slag passes therethrough. A slag discharge device includes: a screen mesh (6) that is a porous member including a plurality of through-holes (6a) formed therein; and a crushing device (7) that crushes water-granulated slag (S2) captured by the screen mesh (6). The crushing device has a crusher head (12) that breaks, with a pressure, and thus crushes the water-granulated slag (S2), a hydraulic cylinder (13) that reciprocates the crusher head in a predetermined direction, a guide plate (14) that restricts movement of the crusher head caused by the hydraulic cylinder, and a plurality of crushing spaces (15) in which the water-granulated slag (S2) is crushed. A communication opening that causes the crushing spaces (15) to communicate with each other is formed in a partitioning wall guide plate (14a) of the guide plate.

Abstract: A honeycomb structure includes an incoming end having a concave shape; an outgoing end having a convex shape; and a plurality of cells each having a polygonal cross section and serving as a channel for a fluid, the channel extending from the incoming end to the outgoing end. The plurality of cells are separated from each other by separator walls. At least one of the plurality of cells has an area of a channel cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction, the area increasing from the incoming end toward the outgoing end.

Abstract: A combustion burner for a boiler includes: an inner cylinder defining a fuel supply passage for supplying fuel; an outer cylinder surrounding the inner cylinder and defining an air supply passage between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder; and a swirler in the air supply passage, the swirler being configured to swirl air in the air supply passage. The swirler includes a plurality of blades radially disposed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, the plurality of blades extending from an air-supply side toward a combustion-space side of the air supply passage, and each of the plurality of blades having, at least on an inner cylinder side of the blade, a section with a thickness varied in a burner axial direction, the thickness being smaller at an edge portion on the combustion-space side than at a maximum-thickness section of the blade.

Abstract: A shielded cable comprising two insulated wire covered with first and second metal clad resin tapes each of which has a laminated metal layer and a resin layer. The first metal clad resin tape covers the circumference of the two insulated wires by open-wrapping and the second metal clad resin tape is spirally wrapped around the circumference of the first metal clad resin tape. The first and second metal clad resin tapes are disposed while the metal layers face each other and, in the portion where the second metal clad resin tape is overlapped by wrapping, the metal layer of the overlapped one second metal clad resin tape and the metal layer of the other second metal clad resin tape are in contact with the first metal clad resin tape. The shielded cable can prevent sharp signal attenuation in a high frequency region and is easy to bend and flexible.

Abstract: The coefficient of thermal conductivity of any sample can be measured without any pre-processing to the sample by putting an electric heater and a thermo-electric couple between a block made of reference material whose coefficient of thermal conductivity is known and the sample, flowing electric current in said heater, measuring the temperature of said heater with said thermo-couple, and calculating the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the sample according to the measured data. The present inventors introduce herein a novel equation for that calculation.
