The boilers are fed wood fuel from the main fuel bin located adjacent to the boiler house. The boilers are the "pile burner" type, which burn wood in a large pile on the floor of a refractory lined furnace box. Combustion efficiency with this type of boiler is generally low but pile burners are simple and therefore relatively inexpensive. Low combustion efficiency also means that emissions such as particulates and carbon monoxide are relatively high. One notable advantage to these systems is that high moisture content fuels can be burned as well as "dirty" fuels containing debris. 3, record 2, English, - pile%20burner
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Pile burner: Boilers incorporating a pile burning design find applications where the anticipated wood fuel has a high (up to 65%) relative moisture content, as is found in whole green tree chips, bark, and green mill residue. Grates serve to support the fuel, and underfire air flowing up through the grates provides oxygen for combustion, cools the grates, promotes turbulence in the fuel bed, and dries the fuel. The most common form of pile burning is the Dutch oven, which was used almost exclusively during the early part of the century (Guinn and Turner 1990). 4, record 2, English, - pile%20burner

The Mississippi Air National Guard(ANG) was able to enclose an entire KC-135 aircraft in the same floor area as a traditional "tailout" nose dock hangar by shaping the hangar to fit the shape of the aircraft, while reducing building costs and saving energy.... Aircraft hangars have always been "box shaped" structures to house aircraft. Doors have traditionally been of the metal sliding, metal canopy or metal bi-fold lifting type. When newer longer aircraft were made to fit into an existing aircraft hangar, the usual design treatment was to construct an aperture in the hangar door and let the aircraft tail stick outside the hangar, exposing the tail to the outside elements(a nose dock). 1, record 4, English, - nose%20dock

Shake, Rattle & Roll Poster.... Rattle :... Even though there are no sounds in the vacuum of space, it is very noisy inside the International Space Station. A lot of the noise comes from the rattling and creaking of fans and events. Student Activity : Acquire a large, clean empty cardboard box(top or bottom removed), big enough to fit easily and comfortably over a person's head, leaving ample room for ventilation. Sit the box on the floor or table, open side down, and tap or scratch lightly on the outside of the box using only your hands. Next, place the box over your head and repeat the procedure. Comment on the loudness of the sounds you hear. Relate this to conditions inside the International Space Station. Student Challenge : Acquire a simple, inexpensive household fan.
