    • Dataset - A Computational Simulator for Incineration of Wastes Generated from Cleanup of Chemical and Biological Contamination Incidents

    Metadata Updated: July 16, 2023

    The figures in the paper are outputs from the model based on example run conditions.Figures 4 and 5 show comparisons between the model predictions and measured data from the EPA Lab Kiln module. Figure 6 shows the difference between using the Z-Value and the Arrhenius approach to the kinetics of biological agent destruction. Figures 7 and 8 are 3-D heat maps of the temperature and oxygen concentration, respectively, in the commercial rotary kiln module. They are raster pictures so they are not the traditional x-y coordinate graphs. Figure 9 shows streamlines within the primary combustion chamber of the commercial rotary kiln and predicted destruction of the GB nerve agent along those streamlines. Figure 10 shows predicted gas temperature along a streamline in the commercial rotary kiln module. Figure 11 shows example predictions of the mole fraction of 3 chemical warfare agents along streamlines in the commercial rotary kiln module. Figures 12 and 13 show predicted destruction and waste "piece" temperature of the biological agent Bacillus anthracis in bundles of carpet in the commercial rotary kiln.
