Soot is generated from coal when volatile matter, tar in particular, undergoes secondary
reactions at high temperatures. A description of soot in coal flames allows better calculations …

A semiempirical model has been developed for predicting coal-derived soot. The main
feature of the model is a transport equation for soot mass fraction. Tar prediction options …

The iterative convergence of the P 1 radiation model can be slow in optically thin scenarios
when employing classical iterative methods. In order to remedy this shortcoming, an in …

ABSTRACT A three-dimensional combustion model which couples turbulent flow statistics
with chemical reactions and radiative heat transfer is used to evaluate the effect of soot and …

The P-1 radiation model is spatially decomposed to solve the radiative transport equation on
parallel computers. Mathematical libraries developed by third parties are employed to solve …

Thermal radiation is a crucial mode of heat transfer in the industrial furnace. The present
article compares various radiative heat transfer models for non-gray gases environments …

A numerical study evaluating the significance of scattering phase function, particle size,
particle distribution and pressure in an oxy-coal combustor was conducted. Particle …

Different approaches to modeling radiative heat transfer in Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of
a 38 cm diameter methane pool fire are compared. The P-1 radiation model and the discrete …

Conventional wisdom says adding oxygen to a combustion system enhances product
throughput, system efficiency, and, unless special care is taken, increases NOx emissions …

Performance of industrial and utility combustion systems is becoming increasingly affected
by limits on pollutant emissions such as NOx and CO. CO emissions impact design and …
