Abstract
A nonisothermal, nongray, absorbing, emitting, and anisotropically scattering suspension of reacting particles exposed to concentrated thermal radiation is considered. The steam gasification of coal is selected as the model thermochemical reaction. The unsteady energy equation that couples the radiative heat flux with the chemical kinetics is solved by means of a numerical model that incorporates Monte Carlo ray tracing, the finite-volume method, and an explicit Euler time integration scheme. Two modeling approaches are applied: (1) a quasi-continuous model that assumes a homogeneous medium and utilizes its macroscopic radiative properties (absorption and scattering efficiencies and scattering phase function), and (2) a particle-discrete model that assumes an ensemble of randomly positioned particles and traces the interaction of radiation with each particle by geometric optics. Temperature profiles and reaction extent are computed using both approaches. The quasi-continuous approach is superior ...
