Abstract

A chemical reactions occurred during combustion process in circulating fluidized bed-boiler has been modeled using integrated concept of autocatalytic set and graph theory whereby eight important species identified in the process are represented as nodes and catalytic relationships among them are represented by an edges in the graph. In this paper, dynamics of the graph is investigated using Perron-Frobenius eigenvector of its adjacency matrix in which two species of the combustion process that conformed as by-products of the actual process will be highlighted.
