A review of investigations on liquid fuel combustion in porous inert media

Utilization of a porous medium for combustion of liquid fuels is proved to be a promising approach for future applications. The porous medium burner for liquid fuels is more advantageous than the conventional open spray flame burner for several reasons; these include enhanced evaporation of droplet spray owing to regenerative combustion characteristics, low emission of pollutants, high combustion intensity with moderate turn-down ratio and compactness. This article provides a comprehensive picture of the global scenario of research and developments in combustion of liquid fuels within a porous medium that enable a researcher to determine the direction of further investigation. Accordingly, a glossary of the important terminology, the modeling approach, advances in numerical and experimental works and applications are included. The papers published in standard journals are reviewed and summarized with relevant comments and suggestions for future work.     

Experimental investigation on simultaneous measurement of temperature distributions and radiative properties in an oil-fired tunnel furnace by radiation analysis

The paper reports experimental investigations on simultaneous measurement of temperature distribution and radiative properties in an oil-fired tunnel furnace by radiation analysis. Two color CCD cameras were used to obtain visible thermal radiation in the furnace. A radiation imaging model was established by the calculation of radiative transfer equation in the furnace. The temperature distribution and radiative properties can be obtained from the inversion of the radiative imaging model. The validity of radiative imaging model was verified by the numerical analysis of cavity radiation and isothermal system radiation, and the accuracy of reconstruction method was validated by simulation reconstruction. The experimental analysis was divided into two parts. Firstly, the temperatures of wall surface were calculated from the radiative image of refractory wall and compared with the measured temperature of a thermocouple. The difference between the two methods was only about 20 K. Secondly, the temperature distributions in the furnace, absorption coefficients of combustion medium, and emissivities of refractory wall were reconstructed. Because of a single burner in the tunnel furnace, the temperature distributions in the XY vertical sections in the furnace were with temperature higher in the center and lower near the refractory wall surface, and the temperatures decreased along the length of the tunnel furnace. The measured emissivity of refractory wall showed that the refractory material of RPA-MC30 is with high reflectivity in visible spectrum.     

Study of optimal pulverized coal concentration in a four-wall tangentially fired furnace

The effect of fuel lean/rich conditions (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5 and 1:6) on the furnace core temperatures, carbon in fly ash and slag and NO_x emissions was investigated in a 1 MW four-wall tangentially horizontal bias fired furnace for Yibin anthracite and Shenmu bituminous, respectively. Results shown that furnace core temperatures increased at first and then decreased along the height of the furnace when anthracite burned. The furnace core temperature at the height of primary air nozzles was the highest when the bituminous lean/rich varied from 1:1 to 1:3, and its trend was similar to the anthracite when the bituminous lean/rich was changed from 1:4 to 1:6. The ignition of anthracite required a heating stage, while bituminous could timely ignite due to high volatile. However, when the bituminous lean/rich was too low resulting in the relative lack of oxygen, it still needed a heating stage. With increased coal concentration, the furnace core temperatures in the primary air section went up firstly and then down, but the carbon in fly ash and slag showed adverse behavior. This was due to the high coal concentration corresponding to high volatile concentration leading to the timely ignition and burnout, causing higher furnace core temperature in the primary air section and decreased carbon in fly ash and slag. Corresponding to the highest furnace core temperature in the primary air section and the lowest carbon in fly ash and slag, the optimal pulverized coal concentration of anthracite and bituminous was 0.796–0.810 kg coal/kg air and 0.586–0.607 kg coal/kg air, respectively. In addition, with increased pulverized coal concentration, the NO_x emissions reduced quickly with a slight decrease in the range of the optimal pulverized coal concentration.     

Significance of hydrogen content in fuel combustion

Hydrogen is the most energetic fuel. It is a pollution-free and ashless fuel. Hydrogen, as one of the important constituents of fuels, plays a very important role in their combustion. The higher the percentage of hydrogen content in the fuels, the better it is for their ignition/combustion.     

Kinetics of devolatilization and oxidation of a pulverized biomass in an entrained flow reactor under realistic combustion conditions

In this paper the results of a complete set of devolatilization and combustion experiments performed with pulverized (∼500 μm) biomass in an entrained flow reactor under realistic combustion conditions are presented. The data obtained are used to derive the kinetic parameters that best fit the observed behaviors, according to a simple model of particle combustion (one-step devolatilization, apparent oxidation kinetics, thermally thin particles). The model is found to adequately reproduce the experimental trends regarding both volatile release and char oxidation rates for the range of particle sizes and combustion conditions explored. The experimental and numerical procedures, similar to those recently proposed for the combustion of pulverized coal [J. Ballester, S. Jiménez, Combust. Flame 142 (2005) 210-222], have been designed to derive the parameters required for the analysis of biomass combustion in practical pulverized fuel configurations and allow a reliable characterization of any finely pulverized biomass. Additionally, the results of a limited study on the release rate of nitrogen from the biomass particle along combustion are shown.

An investigation of the combustion of pulverized coal-air mixture in different combustor geometries

A two-dimensional theoretical study of the flow and combustion of pulverized coal by diffusion flames is presented. The model predicts gas flows, species concentrations, and temperatures in combustors having specific geometries. The conservation equations are solved utilizing the κ-ε turbulence model. Coal devolatilization is modeled by the two-competing-reactions scheme, which generates two sets of volatiles and char, each by a specific rate constant, described in Arrhenius form. Char combustion from devolatilization occurs by reaction with oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, particle dispersion, and radiative heat transfer between furnace wall and particles. The model is used to investigate the interaction between flow and combustion in flames produced by arranging the locations of the primary inlet and the secondary air inlets in a furnace. The predictions, which could be valuable for designing furnaces, indicate that a centered primary inlet and a minimum recirculation are some of the criteria that could favorable for combustion.     

Radiative slab heating analysis for various fuel gas compositions in an axial-fired reheating furnace

A transient radiative slab heating analysis was performed to investigate the effect of various fuel mixtures on the performance of an axial-fired reheating furnace. The various fuel mixtures tested were assumed to be attained by mixing COG (coke oven gas) and BFG (blast furnace gas), which are the two main byproduct gases found in the integrated steel mill industry. The numerical prediction of radiative heat transfer was calculated using an FVM radiation solving method, which is a well-known and efficient method for curvilinear coordinates. The WSGGM (weighted sum of gray gas model) was also adopted to calculate the radiative heat transfer in composition dependent media. The entire furnace was divided into fourteen sub-zones to calculate the radiative thermal characteristics of the furnace without flow field calculations. Each sub-zone was assumed to have homogeneous media and wall temperatures. All of the medium and wall temperatures were computed by calculating the overall heat balance using some relevant assumptions. The overall heat balance was satisfied when the net heat input equaled the three sources of heat loss in each sub-zone, wall loss, skid loss, and slab heating loss.

Assessment of a novel numerical model for combustion and in-flight heating of particles in an industrial furnace

The key factors for efficient in-flight particle heating in a combusting flow were investigated within this paper for the development of a novel boiler slag bead production furnace. A natural gas fired industrial burner with a thermal input of 1.2?MW was thus evaluated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The steady laminar flamelet model (SFM) and a detailed chemical reaction mechanism, considering 25 reversible chemical reactions and 17 species were used to account for the steady-state gas phase combustion. Measurements of gas temperature and flow velocity within the furnace were found to be in good accordance with the numerical results. In the second step, sintered bauxite beads were injected into the furnace as an experimental material and heated up in flight. The particle heating characteristics were investigated using the Discrete Phase Model (DPM). The computational results of the particle laden flow raised the issue that convective heat transfer is a key factor for efficient particle heating. At the burner chamber outlet, the temperature of a particle which had been injected into the burner flame was 178?K higher compared to a particle, which trajectory led through zones with lower gas temperatures.     

Modeling of multiphase combustion and deposit formation in a biomass-fed furnace

A comprehensive computational model for biomass combustion is presented, featuring a solid phase combustion model, a fluid dynamic model for the gas phase, and a solid particle transport and deposit formation model. The submodel developed to track particle trajectories is briefly outlined. The model is implemented on the Finite Element code XENIOS++, and a test case is considered of a furnace burning wooden biomass chips added with water and inert material; a dedicated flamelet library is worked out to model combustion. Results underline the capability of the code to predict combustion conditions and, in particular, the growth rates of deposits of different particle size over the furnace walls, as well as the most critical locations for particle deposition.     

A universal model of opposed flow combustion of solid fuel over an inert porous medium

In this study, a universal model is developed to examine the behavior of combustion wave observed in porous solid matters (e.g., smoldering, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration process). Analytical expressions of the combustion characters of solid combustible (e.g., diesel particulate matters trapped in a DPF) deposited over an inert porous medium are obtained employing large activation energy asymptotic taking into account the sensible transport processes; namely, heat transfer between the porous medium and gas phases, radiation heat transfer from the porous medium, heat loss from the porous medium to the environment, mass transfer of oxygen from the gas stream to the surface of solid fuel and the effective diffusion in modeling the species diffusion. Then it has been validated that the present model is applicable and adaptable for predicting the characteristics of smoldering combustion and thus SHS process. As a result, the features of combustion wave of the present phenomena would be useful to other processes. From practical point of view and for deep understanding of the behavior of combustion wave of these processes, we investigate the effects of various physical parameters over a wide range of conditions. We observe that the moving speed of the reaction front increases with the increase of porosity of the porous medium, mass transfer coefficient and initial fuel mass fraction; while it decreases owing to the increase of heat transfer rate from the porous medium to the gas, heat loss to the environment and radiative heat transfer. Furthermore, the results reveal that extinction tends to occur due to lower porosity of the porous medium, higher radiative heat transfer from the porous medium, higher heat transfer rate from the porous medium to the gas and higher heat losses from the porous medium to the environment. Even the observed near-extinction behavior in reaction front speed versus heat loss diagram is found to be similar what we got in gaseous premixed flame propagating through the porous medium. An extinction limit diagram has been presented as a function of radiation-conduction parameter and the gas flow velocity. In addition to, the impact of radiation and the combined effect of the inclusion of Knudsen diffusion and tortuosity are demonstrated in terms of the spatial temperature and species profiles to examine how these two parameters modify the reaction front structure. Furthermore, the governing equations have been solved numerically and it is observed that asymptotic analysis gives a good agreement with the numerical solution.

Comparison of combustion characteristics of petroleum coke and coal in one-dimensional furnace

The effect of primary air fraction ƒ ₁, outer secondary air swirl strength and excess oxygen coefficient on the combustion characteristics of petroleum coke, Hejin lean coal and Shenmu soft coal are researched on a one-dimensional furnace using a dual channel swirl burner. The results show that with the increase in primary air fraction ƒ ₁, the NO _x emission concentrations of both Hejin lean coal and petroleum coke increase, and the combustion worsens in the earlier stage, but the burn-out rate of Shenmu soft coal is improved. The NO _x emission concentration obtains a minimum value with an increase in ƒ ₁. The ignition and burn-out rate of petroleum coke and Shenmu soft coal are optimal when Ω_dl is minimum and Ω_dl= 0.87, respectively. However, both the NO _x emission concentration of petroleum coke and Shenmu soft coal are minimum when Ω_dl= 1.08. The increase in excess oxygen coefficient delays the ignition of petroleum coke, worsens the combustion condition and increases the NO _x emission concentration, but it greatly decreases the NO _x emission concentration of Shenmu soft coal.

Modeling of trickle flow liquid fuel combustion in inert porous medium

Present work is a numerical analysis of fuel oil combustion inside an inert porous medium where fuel oil flows through the porous medium under gravity wetting its solid wall with concurrent movement of liquid fuel and air under steady state conditions. A one-dimensional heat transfer model has been developed under steady state conditions using a single step global reaction mechanism. The effects of optical thickness, emissivity of medium, flame position and reaction enthalpy flux on radiation energy output efficiency as well as the temperature, position and thickness of vaporization zone have been presented using kerosene as fuel. Low values of optical thickness and emissivity of porous medium will ensure efficient combustion, maximize downstream radiative output with minimum upstream radiative loss.     

Modelling of grate combustion in a medium scale biomass furnace for control purposes

A new mathematical model for the grate combustion of biomass has been derived from physical considerations. Various models for grate combustion can already be found in the literature. Usually their intention is to simulate the real situation in a furnace as precisely as possible. Hence they are very detailed, typically consisting of many partial differential equations. However, because of their complexity they are useless for control purposes. The new model is very simple, consisting of only two ordinary differential equations, which makes it particularly suitable as a basis for model based control strategies. To verify the model, experiments were performed at a pilot scale furnace with horizontally moving grate. The pilot plant is a downscaled version (180 kW_th) of a typical medium scale furnace in terms of geometry and instrumentation. Comparison of the measured and calculated values shows good agreement.
