In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a 600 MW opposed swirling coal-fired utility boiler has been established to numerically study the NOx emission characteristics under different ratios of over fire air (OFA) and modes of in-service burner layers. The current CFD model had adopted a chemical percolation devolatilization (CPD) model and been validated by comparing the simulated results with the experimental data. The numerical simulation results show that, with increasing the ratio of OFA, the carbon content in fly-ash increase somewhat linearly and the NOx emission reduce significantly, and the OFA ratio of 30% is optimal with higher burnout of pulverized coal and lower NOx emission. The different in-service burner layer modes have different influences on the residence time of the pulverized-coal particles, effect of air staging in the burner region and flue gas temperature at the exit of the lower furnace. Stopping the upper burner layers can increases the residence time of the pulverized-coal particles, resulting in the reduction of the carbon content in the fly ash and the increase of the pulverized-coal burnout. The flue gas temperature at the exit of the lower furnace can also decrease, which would be helpful to reducing the slagging tendency on the surfaces of the platen superheaters.

In light of a 350 megawatt supercritical cogeneration tangential boiler, the combustion and the nitrogen oxides release mechanism in the furnace were numerically simulated. The combustion characteristics were analyzed, and the influencing factors, such as the pulverized coal concentration, the velocity of separated over-fire air and the boiler load, on nitrogen oxides release in the furnace were also systematically studied. The results show that the central airflow in the furnace rises spirally, and an inverted ?V? type temperature distribution is formed. The generation of nitrogen oxides can be effectively restrained by increasing the concentration of pulverized coal properly. Compared with the conventional concentration, the concentration of nitrogen oxides at the furnace exit can be reduced by 29.63% by taking high pulverized coal concentration. The concentration of NOx at the furnace exit can be drastically reduced by increasing the velocity of separated over-fire air. When decreasing boiler load, the concentration of NOx at furnace exit declines at first and then increases.

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a 600 MW opposed swirling coal-fired utility boiler has been established. The chemical percolation devolatilization (CPD) model, instead of an empirical method, has been adapted to predict the nitrogen release during the devolatilization. The current CFD model has been validated by comparing the simulated results with the experimental data obtained from the boiler for case study. The validated CFD model is then applied to study the effects of ratio of over fire air (OFA) on the combustion and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission characteristics. It is found that, with increasing the ratio of OFA, the carbon content in fly ash increases linearly, and the NOx emission reduces largely. The OFA ratio of 30% is optimal for both high burnout of pulverized coal and low NOx emission. The present study provides helpful information for understanding and optimizing the combustion of the studied boiler
