Abstract
A theoretical study has been performed in order to investigate the interaction between fluidized bed (FB) temperature and original size of coal, and the pressure rise within a large coal particle during the initial phases of the combustion process. A mathematical model, describing the devolatilization process, has included the internal and external heat transfer, primary decomposition reactions and mass transfer. The model has shown how the FB temperature and original size of coal reflect on the pressure profile of the coal particle during the devolatilization. One of the major consequences of coal devolatilization in the fluidized bed is the primary fragmentation; hence, the special attention has been paid to this process. On the basis of the devolatilization model results, a physical model of the primary fragmentation in FB is proposed.
