Abstract

This paper numerically investigates the ignition of a single coal particle during the devolatilization phase in a laminar entrained-flow reactor, for which experimental data are available from Molina and Shaddix 3. Different numerical approaches are combined to evaluate the non-premixed flamelet approach for coal particle ignition. First, the particle trajectory and the particle heating are simulated with a Lagrangian-Eulerian approach using a detailed pyrolysis model. In a second step, these results are used as transient boundary conditions for a simulation fully resolving the flow, the mixing field and the chemical reactions around the particle. Finally, in combination with the boundary conditions the time-dependent scalar dissipation rate profiles from the resolved particle calculation are used in a flamelet calculation for the particle up- and downstream directions. Very good agreement is obtained in terms of ignition delay as well as temperature and chemical species distributions in the mixture fraction space when the resolved particle calculation and the unsteady flamelet calculation are compared in the downstream direction. Good agreement is obtained when the numerical results for the ignition time and the time-averaged OH distribution are compared with the available experimental data. The results show the capability of the laminar flamelet approach to correctly predict coal particle ignition during devolatilization using accurate scalar dissipation rate profiles.
