Abstract: | A premixed laminar flame burner was used to study physical and chemical effects of burning methane and pulverized coal simultaneously. Spectral emissions obtained as a function of height in the flame, for OH, CH, C2, and CO were used to calculate excited state species number densities. Premixed methane-air flames with a number of equivalence ratios and methane-air-coal dust flames with three equivalence ratios were studied and differences were noted. Spatial temperatures were measured in all flames by means of a thermocouple probe.The introduction of a pulverized coal additive (30mg/min) leads to changes in OH, Ch, C2, and CO number densities and temperature at various heights, which depend on the stoichiometry of the methane-air flame. Possible chemical and physical mechanisms responsible for these changes are discussed qualitatively. The data pose a severe test for any quantitative model which includes the fluid dynamics, gas-phase chemistry, heterogeneous processes, and radiation transport. |
