The design of an oxy-combustion system for CO₂ capture involves the integration of multiple devices including air separation unit, coal-fired boiler, steam turbine, flue gas cleanup, recycle, and compression units. Thousands of design parameters for the entire system need to be optimized to achieve the lowest cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated. An appropriate first-principles based boiler model with short computer execution time but yet reasonable accuracy in both air-fired and oxy-fired configurations is highly desired. To this end, a hybrid boiler model with 1-D resolution for main flow and reaction related calculations and 3-D resolution for radiative heat transfer was developed as a part of the oxy-combustion subtask of the Carbon Capture and Simulation Initiative (CCSI) sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy. Furthermore, the developed model is able to automatically generate a 3-D mesh based on user-specified furnace shape for the calculation of radiative heat transfer using discrete ordinates method.
