Deposition of bituminous coal ash on an isolated heat exchanger tube: Effects of coal properties on deposit growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a steam-cooled tube at the exit of a pilot scale furnace during combustion of bituminous coal to identify coal properties and combustion conditions with which one may anticipate fouling and slagging of superheaters in electric utility boilers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fouling of convection heat exchangers by lignitic coal ash
TL;DR: Ash deposits formed at moderate temperatures (1100-1300 K) in the convective sections of utility boilers firing coals containing lignitic ash are associated with the formation of sticky particles following condensation of sodium sulfate from the vapor phase at 1200 to 1300 K as mentioned in this paper.
Journal Article
Generation and deposition of fly ash in the combustion of pulverised coal
TL;DR: In this paper, two modeles sont etudies for the generation and les depots des cendres (encrassements) pendant the combustion du charbon pulverise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ignition and combustion of coal-water slurry in a confined turbulent diffusion flame
TL;DR: In this paper, the locations of the ignition and combustion processes along the flame axis were determined from droplet trajectories based on estimates of the initial droplet velocity and measured gas velocities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The production and loss of char fines during fluidized bed combustion of a high volatile bituminous coal
TL;DR: In this article, the porosity at which fragmentation occurs was investigated in bituminous coal char and it was shown that only about 30 to 50% burnout is needed to reach this critical porosity.
