Abstract

The numerical simulation of coal char combustion process can quickly obtain the combustion characteristics of char. It has guiding significance for the design and operation industrial boilers. But during the numerical simulation, how to choose the appropriate kinetic parameters is a difficult problem. The values of combustion activation energy in previous literatures were different. This paper focused on the influence of activation energy on the simulation results of char combustion. The activation energies of 20 Chinese typical coals were measured by a two-step in-situ reaction analyzer. CBK (Carbon burnout kinetics) model was used to simulate char combustion process. Results showed that when activation energy varied greatly, the the predicted combustion rate and particle temperature were very different, especially in the later stage of char combustion.
