Numerical research of influence of disperse composition on characteristics of combustion of coal-fired circulating fluidized bed

Read more The peculiarity of mathematical modeling of the circulating fluidized bed (CFB) is that the solid phase (fuel and ash particles) is always a polydispersed medium. The paper constructed a mathematical model of gas dynamics, heat and mass transfer and combustion in the furnace volume of CFB steam generator with a highly concentrated content of the dispersed phase in relation to the investigation of processes in aerothermochemical CFB furnace. Taking into account: the turbulent structure of the two-phase flow, radiation heat transfer in a dusty environment, the chemical reaction kinetics of ignition and combustion, the effects of the power and thermal interactions between the particles and the particles with the wall. A model of such an environment has been chosen phenomenological model of interpenetrating continua Rahmatulina HA. The characteristic features of CFB technology are: firstly organized circulation of solid particles; Second, the repeated return unburned coarse fractions in the fluidised bed. As a result, during the low-temperature burn-in CFB increased almost two orders of magnitude compared with torch mode, allowing you to burn the most difficult fuels in the energy sector. Numerical analysis of data showed that the best results on the effects of polydisperse composition for fuel combustion characteristics in CFB process provides a particle size distribution in which a small fraction predominates.
