Numerical Simulations of Combustion and Decomposition Processes in Precalciner with Two Different Heights of Raw Meal Inlets

Article Preview

Abstract:

To reduce energy consumption, numerical simulations of combustion and decomposition processes in a precalciner were carried out with two different heights of raw meal inlets. In Euler coordinate system the gas phase is expressed with k-ε two-equation model, in Lagrange coordinate system the solid phase is expressed with discrete phase model (DPM), the chemical reaction is expressed with species transport model, and the radiation is expressed with P1 radiation model. The results show that when the raw meal inlets are near the jetting coal pipes, there is much better dispersing condition of CaCO3 but a much poorer coal combustion condition, resulting in a much higher CaCO3 decomposition rate but a lower coal burn-off rate than that when the raw meal inlets are far away from the jetting coal pipes. It is advised to install both the two heights of raw meal inlets in order to obtain not only high CaCO3 decomposition rate but also high coal burn-off rate.
