Combustion of coal particles in wall-burning swirl combustors

Energy, 1979, vol. 4, issue 2, 315-327

Abstract: An approximate analysis is made of the performance of the wall-burning coal combustors. The results show that the swirl number plays a more important role than the char gasification chemical kinetics in determining the overall gasification rate. At high pressures, the wall-burning combustors may not be as efficient as the gas-stream combustors. The situation, on the other hand, may be reversed at the lower pressures.
