Kinetic analysis on premixed oxy-fuel combustion of coal pyrolysis gas at ultra-rich conditions: Selective combustion and super-adiabatic flame temperatures

Oxy-fuel combustion of coal pyrolysis gas has recently been proposed to serve as internal heat source of a vertical low-temperature pyrolysis furnace, in order to make the output pyrolysis gas nearly free of nitrogen and widely useful. To keep the pyrolysis temperature and the heat carrier gas volume unchanged from air combustion to oxy-fuel...

Numerical study of a turbulent co-axial non-premixed flame for methanol hydrothermal combustion: Comparison of the EDC and FGM models

Eddy dissipation concept (EDC) model and flamelet generated manifolds (FGM) model are developed separately to study the temperature profiles and extinction limits of non-premixed hydrothermal flames. Predictions by the two models are evaluated comparatively by experimental data in literatures. FGM model shows relatively better prediction of...
