We present a novel experiment designed to study the ignition and combustion of pulverized fuels in a room-temperature gas environment. The absence of hot furnace walls surrounding the test section allowed for optical detection of the reaction sequence. Our goals are to determine, by direct observation, the ignition mechanism (heterogeneous or homogeneous ignition) of a range of coals, and to quantify the differences in ignition reactivity between the fuels.
