Abstract
The mechanism of open system combustion of dry wood, a solid carbonaceous fuel of a high volatile matter content, was studied through a quantitative monitoring of the stack flue gas. Combustion is in three stages. The first stage is an accelerated burning during which the chemical composition of the burned fractions is virtually constant, approximates that of the initial dry wood and is independent of air flow rate. The second stage involves a rapid change in chemical composition of the burned fractions. In the third stage the chemical composition of the burned fractions is again virtually constant and independent of air flow.
