Advanced Coal Combustion Modelling: Project Summary

Abstract:

The principle aim of the University of Leeds 'Advanced Coal Combustion Modelling Project' is to deliver a more fundamental model of carbon burnout with the objective of increasing the accuracy of these models. The project consists of the following stages:

Develop a model to estimate the amount of char produced during devolatilisation.

Develop a char burnout model using the estimation of the amount of char produced in the devolatilisation step.

Incorporate the results into an overall char burning model suitable for combustion in a drop tube or a simplified power station combustor.
