Opposed-flow combustion of pulverized coal

Journal Article · · Combust. Flame; (United States)
Experiments are reported on the opposed-flow combustion of pulverized coal carried out to investigate the possibility of achieving higher combustion intensity under stable burning conditions. Measurements of temperature, pressure, gas composition and velocity were made. Particle size distribution, ash and volatile matter content were measured at the impingement point. The main advantages of the configuration studied, in which secondary air is supplied in the final stage of the combustion process, are improved mixing of fuel and air and the ability to control the motion of the pulverized coal.
