Simulation of Coal Plasma Ignition and Combustion in a Furnace Chamber

چکیده
Traditional technologies of solid fuels incineration account for higher level of pollutant in comparison with incineration of liquid and gas fuels. However the fraction of heat and electric power generated at coal fired thermal power plants will increase and by 2020 will have exceeded 50%. Plasma activation promotes more effective and environmental friendly power coals incineration [1]. Effective development of a new coal technology is impossible without its modeling and numerical investigation. This paper presents numerical simulation results of plasma thermochemical activation of coal for ignition and combustion and comparative analysis of traditional and plasma activated coal combustion at a furnace chamber.

Studies of Ignition Behavior of Biomass Particles in a Down-Fire Reactor for Improving Co-firing Performance
To realize large-percentage biomass co-firing with coal in existing coal-fired boilers, the combustion behavior of biomass is expected to be similar or comparable to that of coal. When co-firing with coal, biomass is not necessarily to be ground as fine as the dedicated coal particles, because of its higher reactivity. With the objective of achieving promising performance of co-firing with dedi...
متن کاملSulfur Species in Particulates Emitted from Reducing Coal Combustion and Pyrometallurgical Furnaces
The method of X-Ray Photo-electron Spectroscopy is used to determine the chemical state of the sulfur species present in fly-ash samples produced by burning a number of pulverized coal samples under reducing conditions in a continuous combustion furnace. The influence of submicron metallic constituents present in the flue-gases of the pyrometallurical systems on the state of the sulfur species ...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of a Side-Port Regenerative Glass Furnace
ABSTRACT:A mathematical model for the performance prediction of an industrial glass furnace with six ports on each side was developed. This model comprises of two main sub-models for the combustion chamber and glass-melting tank. The first sub-model consists of the models for the combustion and the heat transfer model including, radiation, convection and conduction. The fuel combustion in a...
متن کاملReversed Combustion of Waste in a Grate Furnace – an Experimental Study
Most widely used concept for municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration is combustion on a moving grate with energy recovery. In MSW incinerators fresh waste stacked on a grate enters the combustion chamber, heats up by radiation from the flame above the layer and ignition occurs. Ignition front propagates downwards producing heat for drying and devolatilisation of the fresh waste below until it ...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling and Simulation of Highly Preheated and Diluted Air Combustion Furnaces
This paper presents some of the results of the modeling and simulation of an industrial furnace under the conventional combustion as well as under the highly preheated and diluted air combustion (HPDAC) conditions. The results are obtained using a computer program written by authors in FORTRAN language. It was found that, the HPDAC offers a more uniform and relatively moderate gas temperature p...
