Development and application of advanced diagnostics methods in fossil-fuel combustion studies
In support of a national effort to effect an increase in coal utilization, Sandia National Laboratories Livermore is conducting research on the combustion of fossil fuels. This activity is integrated with the fundamental combustion and diagnostics research in the Sandia Combustion Research Facility (CRF). It mirrors the dual theme of the CRF program, with an emphasis both on improved understanding of pulverized fuel combustion and conversion processes, as well as the development of new diagnostic techniques to assist in that improvement. This paper describes the various elements of the Sandia Fossil Fuel Combustion Program. Highlights of recent experimental results are summarized in the two major areas of interest - combustion research and combustion diagnostics related to coal-fired power systems. A growing involvement with materials scientists at Sandia is noted as we crystallize the coal sciences element of our pulverized coal combustion studies.
