A Computational Fluid Dynamics model of a pilot-scale entrained flow reactor is developed with the aim to shed light into the cloud of solid fuel particles. An iterative procedure is suggested to derive devolatilization kinetics: particle average residence times and heating rates are estimated from the numerical model, and a linear dependence of the particle temperature with residence time is assumed. In this manner the volatile release equation can be integrated analytically and subsequently kinetic parameters can be obtained from experimental conversion data. The procedure is shown for a Sebuku type coal in oxy-fuel conditions.

Abstract
A Computational Fluid Dynamics model of a pilot-scale entrained flow reactor is developed with the aim to shed light into the cloud of solid fuel particles. An iterative procedure is suggested to derive devolatilization kinetics: particle average residence times and heating rates are estimated from the numerical model, and a linear dependence of the particle temperature with residence time is assumed. In this manner the volatile release equation can be integrated analytically and subsequently kinetic parameters can be obtained from experimental conversion data. The procedure is shown for a Sebuku type coal in oxy-fuel conditions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
