Velocity measurements in a swirl driven pulverized coal combustion chamber

Journal Article · · Combust. Flame; (United States)
The paper presents an experimental study of flow properties in a swirl driven combustion chamber for pulverized anthracite using a back-scatter laser-Doppler anemometer. Axial and tangential particle velocity components under isothermal and nonreacting conditions are compared with those in the high temperature reacting flow. The results show the effect of coal combustion on swirl behavior and fluid flow.
