In this work we describe a numerical model of the evolution of the particle size distribution (PSD) during coal combustion. The model includes burning and fragmentation. The model examines the sensitivity of PSD evolution to different modes of fragmentation by allowing the input of alternative fragm

This study focused on the effect of particle size distribution (PSD) on agglomeration and defluidization in a fluidized bed. The four PSDs studied were narrow, Gaussian, binary and flat. The experimental variables studied included the gas velocity, the operating temperature, the Na concentration and
The number density conservation equation for an evaporating or combusting particle size distribution is derived and solved for a general form of the rate of change of particle diameter. This equation is used to deduce an evolution mean of the distribution which is related to the particular evolution
An approach is made to predict fly ash production and characteristics on the basis of: experimental information from a power plant tracking programme; and the results of a pulverized coal combustion model. Conclusions presented in this paper do not agree completely with previous experimental results
The evolution of particle morphology during coal devolatilization has a significant influence on the pyrolysis and the combustion of the resulting char. In the present paper, a model is proposed to describe the evolution of particle morphology during coal devolatilization. The chemical percolation d
