Gradual substitution of coal with green ammonia is a practical approach for the coal power phasedown at a minimal cost of modification, but the ignition and gas-phase reaction during co-firing NH3 with coal remain largely unclear. In this work, we investigate the co-combustion behaviors of NH3 and a high-volatile coal on a two-stage flat flame burner. Remarkably, the post-flame oxygen mole fraction Xi,O2 of the inner stage can be manipulated to reproduce a proper reducing-to-oxidizing environment that coal particles experience in the practical combustor. We first reveal that, under certain values of Xi,O2 and NH3 co-firing energy ratios ENH3, the reaction intensity (manifested by OH-PLIF signals) in the NH3-coal flame is stronger than burning either pure coal or NH3. This synergetic effect originates from an NH3-combustion-induced enhancement of volatile release. We then propose a characteristic time scale τOH from the OH signals for the initiation of overall reactions in the system. In the case of Xi,O2=0, τOH monotonically increases with ENH3, while for Xi,O2=0.2, the trend transitions to a decreasing one. It can be interpreted by comparing τOH with the characteristic O2 diffusion time, coal particle heating time, and the coal pyrolysis time under different Xi,O2. Furthermore, the coal particle ignition in coal-NH3 flames can no longer be determined by visual images. Instead, we apply CH* chemiluminescence to identify the stages of coal particle ignition and volatile combustion in the NH3-coal flame. While NH3 addition has both positive (elevating temperatures & diluting coal particles) and negative (consuming O2) effects on coal ignition, the combined influence of ENH3 is marginal on coal ignition delay time. On the other hand, the volatile combustion time decreases linearly with ENH3, suggesting a pure effect of reduced coal feed rate. 相似文献

High-concentration H2S formed in the reduction zone of pulverized coal air-staged combustion can result into the high temperature corrosion of water wall tube of boiler, so it is of great importance to accurately predict H2S concentration for the safe operation of boilers and burners. H2S formation and evolution depends on two steps: the sulfur release from coal conversion and gas-phase reactions of sulfur species. In this study, the sulfur release characteristics from the pyrolysis of 17 coals, including 5 lignite, 9 bituminous coals and 3 anthracites, are investigated in a drop tube furnace (DTF). Sulfur release model is developed to describe the relationship between sulfur release and coal types. A global gas-phase reaction mechanism of sulfur species composed of ten reactions is used to calculate and predict the formation and evolution of H2S, COS and SO2 in the reduction zone of pulverized coal air-staged combustion. A wide range of air-staged combustion experiments of 17 coals are conducted in the DTF at different temperatures and stoichiometric ratios to validate the developed model. The results show that the prediction errors of sulfur species, including SO2, H2S and COS, are within ± 30%, which indicates that the developed prediction model of sulfur species is of great assistance for CFD modeling of actual engineering application. 相似文献

Fragmentation during pulverized coal particles conversion shifts the particle size distribution of the fuel towards smaller particle sizes, affecting both conversion rates and heat release. After pyrolysis of a high volatiles Colombian coal in CO2 atmosphere in a drop tube reactor at 1573?K, solid carbonaceous particles of different size, from 100?µm of the particle feed down to the nanometric size, have been observed. A fragmentation model has been used to predict the fate of Colombian coal particles under the experimental conditions of the drop tube experiment and predict the particle size distribution (PSD). Model and experimental results are in very good agreement and indicate that in the DTR experiment the coal underwent almost complete pyrolysis and that fragmentation generated a 36?wt% population of particles with size close to 30?µm. The close match between the PSDs obtained from experiments and from the fragmentation model is an important novelty. It demonstrates that fragmentation occurs not only under fluidized bed conditions but also under the conditions of pulverized coal combustion. Experimentalists are warned against the fact that the fine particulate sampled at the outlet of laminar flow reactors and boilers is not always composed of soot only. Char fragments can be misidentified as soot. The implementation of fragmentation submodels in pulverized fuel combustion and gasification codes is highly recommended. 相似文献

An online thermogravimetric measurement method of ash deposition was developed. Ash deposition and slag bubble in the reductive zone of pulverized coal staged combustion were investigated. Firstly, a steady pulverized coal staged combustion was achieved in an electrically heated down-fired furnace. Additionally, gas species, coal conversion, and particle size distribution were quantitatively measured. Secondly, real-time ash deposition rates at different temperatures (1100–1400 °C) were measured, and deposition samples were carefully collected with an N2 protection method. The morphologies of collected samples were investigated through a scanning electron microscope. It was found that the deposited ash transformed from a porous layer composed of loosely bound particles to a solid layer formed by molten slag. Different behaviors of the slag bubble were observed, and bubble sizes were significantly affected by the deposition temperature. A deposition and bubble formation mechanism was proposed and used for modeling. Results showed that the proposed model well predicted the observed ash deposition and bubble formation process. 相似文献

Biomass co-firing within the existing pulverized coal boiler is thought as a practical near-term way of biomass utilization, while its detailed combustion characteristics and pollutant formation have not yet been fully understood. In the present study, we report a Carrier-phase Direct Numerical Simulation study coupled with detailed mechanism to provide a deep insight into the coal/biomass co-firing (CBCF) jet flames under different blending ratios. It is found that compared with the pure coal flame, the CBCF could (i) prompt the volatiles ignition, produce higher H2O and similar CO2 mass fractions at blending ratios of 20% and 40%, and obviously reduce the gas temperature and CO2 mass fraction at the blending ratio of 50%; (ii) prompt the coal devolatilization and char burnout at blending ratios of 20% and 40%, while the char burnout is reduced when blending ratio is 50% due to the local enrichment of large particles and lack of oxygen; (iii) reduce the thermal, prompt, NNH and N2O-intermediate routes of NO formation, but show limited effect on the NO-reburning route of NO destruction, therefore, resulting in an obvious NO reduction. 相似文献

two-phase flows. The results of three-dimensional simulation of conventional and plasma activated coal combustion in a furnace
are presented. Computer code Cinar ICE was verified at coal combustion in the experimental furnace with thermal power of 3
MW that was equipped with plasma-fuel system. Operation of the furnace has been studied at the conventional combustion mode
and with plasma activation of coal combustion. Influence of plasma activation of combustion on thermotechnical characteristics

Recent studies have demonstrated that ammonia could be one of the most promising hydrogen carrier candidates which can be used in large-scale power plants. However, it is challenging to burn ammonia in gas turbines due to its narrow flame stabilization limits. This study investigates the blow-off characteristics and flame macrostructure transition behavior of ammonia/air flame (i.e. NH3 flame) and ammonia/methane/air flame (i.e. 50%NH3 flame) in a swirl combustor. Methane/air flame (i.e. CH4 flame) is also demonstrated for comparative purposes. The flow field and instantaneous OH profile are measured with PIV and OH-PLIF technique, respectively. Large eddy simulation (LES) is conducted to extend understandings of the experimental findings. The results show that the NH3 flame possesses a poor lean flame stability limit which can be largely extended by adding CH4 in the fuel. Moreover, changing swirl number (S) shows no apparent effect on the lean blow-off limit (?b) for the NH3 flame. On the contrary, a clear extension on ?b is found for the 50%NH3 flame when increasing S. Four flame macrostructure modes can be identified when decreasing equivalence ratio (?). The transition from flame II to flame III (?t describes the transition equivalence ratio) can be considered as the early warning of blow-off for a swirl stabilized flame. It is found that for the NH3 flame, there is no clear flame macrostructure transition at small inlet velocities (U < 3.8 m/s), i.e., ?b ≈ ?t, while the difference between ?b and ?t will be observed as the inlet velocity increases. However, for the 50%NH3 and CH4 flames, a clear flame macrostructure transition from flame II to flame III is observed even for a lower inlet velocity. The LES results show that the NH3 flame has a faster blow-off process compared to the CH4 flame, which is mainly attributed to the excessive stretch causing local extinction during the blow-off process. 相似文献

A carrier-phase direct numerical simulation (CP-DNS) of pulverized coal combustion in a mixing layer is performed, considering three NOx formation mechanisms (fuel-NOx, thermal-NOx and prompt-NOx). Detailed analyses, including reaction path analysis, chemical timescale analysis, and a priori and budget analyses are conducted to investigate the NOx production mechanisms and the performance of the flamelet model. Considering the high computational cost of CP-DNS, this work focuses on the early phase governed by devolatilization, where char reactions are less important. The reaction path analyses show that the principal thermal-NO reaction contributes to the net consumption of NO in fuel-bound nitrogen pulverized coal flames, which is essentially different from fuel-nitrogen-free flames. The chemical timescale analyses show that the production rates of NOx species are faster than those of major species, which confirms the suitability of the flamelet tables. The a priori analyses show that the gas temperature and major/intermediate species can be predicted well by the flamelet model, while the NOx species show significant discrepancies in certain regions. Finally, the budget analyses explain why the flamelet model performs differently for major/intermediate and NOx species. 相似文献

Comparative study of 3D numerical simulation of fluid flow and coal-firing processes was applied for flame combustion of Kansk-Achinsk brown coal in a vortex furnace of improved design with bottom injection of secondary air. The analysis of engineering performance of this furnace was carried out for several operational modes as a function of coal grinding fineness and coal input rate.

Previous research has provided strong evidence that CO2 and H2O gasification reactions can provide non-negligible contributions to the consumption rates of pulverized coal (pc) char during combustion, particularly in oxy-fuel environments. Fully quantifying the contribution of these gasification reactions has proven to be difficult, due to the dearth of knowledge of gasification rates at the elevated particle temperatures associated with typical pc char combustion processes, as well as the complex interaction of oxidation and gasification reactions. Gasification reactions tend to become more important at higher char particle temperatures (because of their high activation energy) and they tend to reduce pc oxidation due to their endothermicity (i.e. cooling effect). The work reported here attempts to quantify the influence of the gasification reaction of CO2 in a rigorous manner by combining experimental measurements of the particle temperatures and consumption rates of size-classified pc char particles in tailored oxy-fuel environments with simulations from a detailed reacting porous particle model. The results demonstrate that a specific gasification reaction rate relative to the oxidation rate (within an accuracy of approximately +/- 20% of the pre-exponential value), is consistent with the experimentally measured char particle temperatures and burnout rates in oxy-fuel combustion environments. Conversely, the results also show, in agreement with past calculations, that it is extremely difficult to construct a set of kinetics that does not substantially overpredict particle temperature increase in strongly oxygen-enriched N2 environments. This latter result is believed to result from deficiencies in standard oxidation mechanisms that fail to account for falloff in char oxidation rates at high temperatures. 相似文献

Apparent char kinetic rates are commonly used to predict pulverized coal char burning rates. These kinetic rates quantify the char burning rate based on the temperature of the particle and the oxygen concentration at the external particle surface, inherently neglecting the impact of variations in the internal diffusion rate and penetration of oxygen. To investigate the impact of bulk gas diffusivity on these phenomena during Zone II burning conditions, experimental measurements were performed of char particle combustion temperature and burnout for a subbituminous coal burning in an optical entrained flow reactor with helium and nitrogen diluents. The combination of much higher thermal conductivity and mass diffusivity in the helium environments resulted in cooler char combustion temperatures than in equivalent N2 environments. Measured char burnout was similar in the two environments for a given bulk oxygen concentration but was approximately 60% higher in helium environments for a given char combustion temperature. To augment the experimental measurements, detailed particle simulations of the experimental conditions were conducted with the SKIPPY code. These simulations also showed a 60% higher burning rate in the helium environments for a given char particle combustion temperature. To differentiate the effect of enhanced diffusion through the external boundary layer from the effect of enhanced diffusion through the particle, additional SKIPPY simulations were conducted under selected conditions in N2 and He environments for which the temperature and concentrations of reactants (oxygen and steam) were identical on the external char surface. Under these conditions, which yield matching apparent char burning rates, the computed char burning rate for He was 50% larger, demonstrating the potential for significant errors with the apparent kinetics approach. However, for specific application to oxy-fuel combustion in CO2 environments, these results suggest the error to be as low as 3% when applying apparent char burning rates from nitrogen environments. 相似文献

In this study, the effects of mechanical stresses on the shedding of ash deposits in a coal-fired boiler were evaluated. We have confirmed that the shedding occurred because of the fracture within the initial deposit layer, which was formed by powdered ash residues. Therefore, assuming that the mechanical stress acting on the initial layer influenced the shedding, the distribution of the tensile stress and shear stresses acting on the initial deposit was calculated on the basis of elastic mechanism. Because the ash deposits were brittle in nature, it was assumed that the initial deposit failed on the basis of the maximum principal stress theory (MPST). The stress values were calculated based on the data for deposit shapes, which were obtained through previous ash deposition experiments on two bituminous coals, one subbituminous coal, and two lignite coals. The fracture strength of the deposit increased with a decrease in the ash fusion temperature. This result indicated that the strength of the deposit increased because of ash coalescence. Moreover, as the MPST, the starting point of fracture was estimated from the position where the principal stress became the largest, and the stress value was used to presume whether the fracture depended on tensile stress or shear stress. The deposit with a narrow adherence region failed because of tensile stress, and the signature of peeling due to tensile stress was observed in the cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of the deposit after ash shedding. In contrast, the deposit with a wide adherence region failed because of shear stress. Therefore, peeling was not observed in the cross-sectional SEM image of the deposit after ash shedding. The results obtained from the analysis on the basis of the MPST well with the actual behavior of ash shedding. 相似文献

Soot formation characteristics of a lab-scale pulverized coal flame were investigated by performing carefully controlled laser diagnostics. The spatial distributions of soot volume fraction and the pulverized coal particles were measured simultaneously by laser induced incandescence (LII) and Mie scattering imaging, respectively. In addition, the radial distributions of the soot volume fraction were compared with the OH radical fluorescence, gas temperature and oxygen concentration obtained in our previous studies [1], [2]. The results indicated that the laser pulse fluence used for LII measurement should be carefully controlled to measure the soot volume fraction in pulverized coal flames. To precisely measure the soot volume fraction in pulverized coal flames using LII, it is necessary to adjust the laser pulse fluence so that it is sufficiently high to heat up all the soot particles to the sublimation temperature but also sufficiently low to avoid including a too large of a change in the morphology of the soot particles and the superposition of the LII signal from the pulverized coal particles on that from the soot particles. It was also found that the radial position of the peak LII signal intensity was located between the positions of the peak Mie scattering signal intensity and peak OH radical signal intensity. The region, in which LII signal, OH radical fluorescence and Mie scattering coexisted, expanded with increasing height above the burner port. It was also found that the soot formation in pulverized coal flames was enhanced at locations where the conditions of high temperature, low oxygen concentration and the existence of pulverized coal particles were satisfied simultaneously. 相似文献

In this paper, the correlations between coal/char fragmentation and fly ash formation during pulverized coal combustion are investigated. We observed an explosion-like fragmentation of Zhundong coal in the early devolatilization stage by means of high-speed photography in the Hencken flat-flame burner. While high ash-fusion (HAF) bituminous and coal-derived char samples only undergo gentle perimeter fragmentation in the char burning stage. Simultaneously, combustion experiments of two kinds of coals were conducted in a 25?kW down-fired combustor. The particle size distributions (PSDs) of both fine particulates (PM1-10) and bulk fly ash (PM10+) were measured by Electrical Low Pressure Impactor (ELPI) and Malvern Mastersizer 2000, respectively. The results show that the mass PSD of residual fly ash (PM1+) from Zhundong coal exhibits a bi-modal shape with two peaks located at 14?µm and 102?µm, whereas that from HAF coal only possesses a single peak at 74?µm. A hybrid model accounting for multiple-route ash formation processes is developed to predict the PSD of fly ash during coal combustion. By incorporating coal/char fragmentation sub-models, the simulation can quantitatively reproduce the measured PM1+ PSDs for different kinds of coals. The sensitivity analysis further reveals that the bi-modal mass distribution of PM1+ intrinsically results from the coal fragmentation during devolatilization. 相似文献

A steady flamelet/progress variable (FPV) approach for pulverized coal flames is employed to simulate coal particle burning in a turbulent shear and mixing layer. The configuration consists of a carrier-gas stream of air laden with coal particles that mixes with an oxidizer stream of hot products from lean combustion. Carrier-phase DNS (CP-DNS) are performed, where the turbulent flow field is fully resolved, whereas the coal is represented by Lagrangian point particles. CP-DNS with direct chemistry integration is performed first and provides state-of-the-art validation data for FPV modeling. In a second step the control variables for FPV are extracted from the CP-DNS and used to test if the tabulated manifold can correctly describe the reacting flow (a priorianalysis). Finally a fully coupled a posteriori FPV simulation is performed, where only the FPV control variables are transported, and the chemical state is retrieved from the table and fed back to the flow solver. The a priori results show that the FPV approach is suitable for modeling the complex reacting multiphase flow considered here. The a posteriori data is similarly in good agreement with the reference CP-DNS, although stronger deviations than a priori can be observed. These discrepancies mainly appear in the upper flame (of the present DNS), where premixing and highly unsteady extinction and re-ignition effects play a role, which are difficult to capture by steady non-premixed FPV modeling. However, the present FPV model accurately captures the lower, more stable flame that burns in non-premixed mode. 相似文献

Co-firing ammonia in coal units is a promising approach for the phasedown of coal power. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of burning ammonia with coal and biomass in a 25- kW down-fired furnace with a swirl-stabilized burner. Ammonia is injected from the central tube at thermal ratios ranging from 0 to30% and can be completely burnt out in most co-firing cases. We investigate the NOx emission, unburnt carbon in fly ash, particulate matter formation and ash deposition behaviors when co-firing NH3 with either SH lignite coal or the coal/biomass blend. With a fixed air staging ratio, the NOx emission increases linearly with the NH3 fuel ratio. By increasing the percentage of secondary air, the emitted NOx can be reduced to 300 ppm with an NH3 thermal ratio of 30%. The unburnt carbon is affected by NH3 addition in a complex manner. With a 30% (thermal) NH3 addition, the unburnt carbon increases from 0.4% to 5.6% for the SH coal mainly due to a temperature drop, but decreases from 2.2% to 0.7% for the SH coal/biomass blend. As for the ash-related issues, the addition of NH3 to either coal or coal/biomass blend is found to alleviate both the fouling intensity and the ultrafine particulate matter formation ability. This is a major advantage over biomass combustion. 相似文献
