Performance of Pulverized Coal Combustion under High Temperature Air Diluted by Steam

Pulverized Coal Combustion: the Influence of Flame Temperature and Coal Composition on Thermal and Fuel

A laboratory combustor was used to investigate the factors that influence the conversion of fuel nitrogen in coal during coal combustion. Fuel NO was isolated by experimentation utilizing Argon/Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide mixtures as the oxidant, and care was taken to compare cases with air at matched conditions. For both well mixed and slowly mixed flame types, fuel NO contributed over 75% of the to...

Numerical Study of Reduction of NOx Emission by High Temperature Air Combustion Technology

A numerical study on Nox emission from an industrial furnace utilizing high temperature air combustion (HTAC) technology was done. The basic concept of the regenerative burner including heating a diluting of fresh air by flue gas was implemented in a two-dimensional furnace model. Governing equations in conjunction with a turbulence model and an overall chemistry model were solved using an impl...

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...

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...
