Characterization of Nano-Ashes Generated during Pulverized Coal Combustion

Model of pulverized coal combustion in a furnace

We describe behavior of the air-coal mixture using the Navier–Stokes equations for gas and particle phases, accompanied by a turbulence model. The undergoing chemical reactions are described by the Arrhenian kinetics (reaction rate proportional to exp ` − E RT ́ , where T is temperature). We also consider the heat transfer via conduction and radiation. Moreover we use improved turbulence-chemist...

Computational Modeling of CO/CO2 Ratio Inside Single Char Particles during Pulverized Coal Combustion

A recently developed model was used to study the CO/CO2 ratio inside a burning pulverized coal particle, to better understand the effect of bulk gas composition on the equilibrium partial pressure of reduced metal species at the surface of ash inclusions. The motivation was to improve the ability to model submicrometer particle formation by ash vaporization, as a function of furnace conditions....

Interactive System for Pulverized Coal Combustion Visualization with Fluid Simulator

Designing pulverized coal combustion simulation and visualization systems is still a complex task. The current solutions, such as the commercial CFD packages are focused on the precision of the computation. Our solution is suited to the education and computer graphics area, where the precision does not take the first, but also not the last place. The main factor in our solution utilizes the int...

Analysis of Combustion Mechanism and Combustion Optimization of a 300mw Pulverized Coal Boiler

Combustion mechanism of a 300 MW pulverized coal boiler is analyzed and the optimization of the performance of the boiler is carried out. The flow field, temperature field, devolatilization, char combustion and CO generation in the boiler furnace under actual condition is obtained by using Fluent. Three methods to improve the efficiency of boiler combustion are proposed based on the pulverized ...
