Numerical Study of the Co-Firing Pulverized Coal and Biomass

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study presented Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) analysis of the effect of co-firing coal blended with biomass, which is saw dust here. This complex problem which is because of its turbulent on the chemical reactions has been simulated in this paper for the purpose to decline the large amount of cost of doing experiment. The CFD analysis includes the prediction of vectors of the gas phase and DPM burnout result alike. What’s more, the reduction of CO2 by coal blended with different proportions of biomass has been presented because of low content of char in biomass. The mathematical models consist of models for turbulence flow(RNG K-EPSILON MODEL);non-premixed model with two mixture fractions/PDF model; and radiation (P-1 radiation model). The coal is from An Qin in China, and then respectively blended with 5% and 10% saw dust for co-combustion.
