Numerical Simulation of Different Coal Combustion in Two Tiny-Oil Ignition Burners With Oxygen-Enriched

Two tiny-oil ignition combustion burners with oxygen-enriched were studied in this paper. One is adding oxygen directly into primary air, and the other is adding oxygen by extra adding-oxygen tube. The bituminous coal, the lignite, and the meager coal, are simulated in these burners. By comparing the two different combustion characteristics, the simulation results show that, for bituminous coal, the high temperature zone congregates in the first directly added oxygen burner, while, for the meager coal, it is difficult to burn in the first directly added oxygen burner. As to the lignite, because of its characteristics of high volatility and low heating value, the first directly added oxygen burner provide oxygen timely for its high volatile, its flame combust more quickly and directly.Copyright © 2012 by ASME
