A three-region, moving boundary model of a furnace flame

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/231186· OSTI ID:231186
A dynamic model of a furnace flame is presented. The model simulates the preheat, combustion, and postcombustion regions of a wall-fired coal furnace. The set of nonlinear differential equations describing the flame dynamics are derived from the fundamental equations of conservation of mass and energy. The key approximations for flows across the moving boundary and spatial distribution functions for the carbon and oxygen concentrations in the combustion zone are developed. Sample results of transient calculations are presented.
