Abstract In order to examine the effect of briquettes with different crack structures on ultrasonic characteristics under different wetting conditions, a series of ultrasonic testing are carried out on briquettes at different wetting heights and the ultrasonic characteristics in these coal samples are explored. The results show that ultrasonic amplitude is positively correlated with the emission voltage, whereas ultrasonic frequency is negatively correlated with the emission voltage. Changes in both are closely related to the particle size and density. The ultrasonic velocity is positively correlated with the wetting degree. Sample mass has the greatest effect on the ultrasonic velocity, followed by particle size, and pressure has the smallest effect. At dry stage, ultrasonic velocity in gas coal is less than that in bituminous coal. The opposite is true in the fully wet state. The influence of crack thickness on ultrasonic velocity gradually increases with the wetting degree increasing. At dry stage, the velocity gradually increases with the crack dip increasing, while as the wetting height increasing, magnitude of velocity increase gradually decreases with the dip increasing. The ultrasonic attenuation in the briquettes reduces with the emission voltage enhancing. The attenuation decreases with sample particle size, crack thickness and crack size decreasing and with sample mass, pressure and crack dip increasing. The ultrasonic attenuation shows a trend of increase before decrease with the wetting height increasing. The attenuation of ultrasonic wave increases with wave velocity increasing for intact samples and shows a trend of increase before decrease for cracked samples.

Abstract This paper presents a computational study on air-fuel combustion of bituminous coal and liquified petroleum gas (LPG) in a 16 kWth test facility with a coflow-swirl burner. The performance of three turbulence models is investigated for the furnace operated under both air-staged and un-staged conditions by comparing their predictions with the reported measurements of temperature and species concentrations. This comparison shows that the shear stress transport (SST) k–ω model and SST k–ω model with low-Re correction predict the profiles of temperature and species concentrations reasonably well, but significantly underpredict the temperature in the furnace core at axial locations away from the burner. On the other hand, the transition SST k–ω model provides better overall congruency with the measured temperature and species concentrations when compared with the other turbulence models used, as indicated by relatively higher values of the Pearson correlation coefficient at locations away from the burner. The present high-fidelity computational model developed is also capable of accurately simulating the effect of coal particle size on the furnace environment, which is verified by the match between the computational predictions and the experimental results for two different sized coal samples. The model is also used to investigate the effect of coal particle size on the internal recirculation zone (IRZ) and the reattachment length (LR) for the same inlet swirl number (SN). A decrease of nearly 50% in the coal sample size results in the increase of LR and IRZ length by 20% and 82.6%, respectively.

Biomass reburn is a low NOx alternative to cofiring that effectively uses the high volatility and high char reactivity of biomass for NOx reduction. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and thermal modeling, and a NOx prediction model were used to evaluate the impacts of sawdust/coal reburn on the performance of a 250 MW opposed-fired boiler burning bituminous coal as the primary fuel. The results showed that the reburn system maintained overall boiler performance with a 50 – 70 °F reduction in the furnace exit gas temperature. Predicted losses in thermal efficiency were caused by the lower biomass fuel heating value (similar to biomass cofiring) and increase in unburned carbon. The higher unburned carbon emissions were attributed to an order of magnitude larger biomass mean particle size relative to bituminous coal. Thus, LOI emissions can be improved significantly by reducing the biomass mean particle size. The NOx predictions showed that for reburn rates above about 19%, adding dry sawdust biomass to a coal reburn system can improve NOx reduction; i.e., using pure dry sawdust as reburn fuel at 30% of the total heat input can lead to NOx levels about 30% less than those for pure coal reburn under for similar firing conditions.

One of the source of air pollutants is emission from local coal-fired boiler-houses and domestic heating boilers. The consequence of incineration of municipal waste is the introduction of additional pollutants into the atmosphere, including fly ash. The aim of this work was to evaluate the particle size distribution of fly ash emitted by coal combustion and co-incineration of coal with municipal waste in a domestic 18 kW central heating boiler equipped with an automatic fuel feeder. Mixtures of bituminous coal with different types of solid waste (5, 10 and 15% of mass fraction) were used. Solid waste types consisted of: printed, colored PE caps, fragmented cable trunking, fragmented car gaskets and shredded tires from trucks. During the incineration of a given mixture of municipal waste with bituminous coal, the velocity of exhaust gas was specified, the concentration and mass flow of fly ash were determined together with the physico-chemical parameters of the exhaust gas, the samples of emitted fly ash were taken as the test material. Particle size analysis of fly ash was performed using laser particle sizer Fritch Analysette 22. The PM10 share from all fly ashes from incineration of mixtures was about 100%. Differences were noted between PM2.5 and PM1.

In the present research work, volatile matter, influences of reaction temperature and particle size on combustion performance were investigated. Important results were obtained by experimental researches. Ignition point of anthracite coal/bituminous coal blends decreased with volatile matter in blend and combustion was improved. Burnout of coal blends decreased as a function of particle size. However, similar effects were gained when particle size less than 0.074mm accounted for 70%, 60% and 50%, respectively. By contrast, the ratio of 50% was a better choice for good effect and low cost.
