Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel and is widely used as an energy source for combustion
and gasification. Both experimental methods and computational tools are required for the …

This paper gives a review of the current state of the art for numerical simulations of char
conversion. In particular, it presents models that have been developed to describe the …

The ignition and volatile combustion of single coal particles were investigated under laminar
conditions. Relevant physico-chemical processes were analyzed under conventional and …

The volatile combustion of Colombian high-volatile bituminous coal was experimentally
studied in a laboratory laminar flow reactor. The volatile flames corresponding to the single …

This work presents an experimental investigation of solid fuel combustion in a laminar flow
reactor with high-speed laser diagnostics. The main focus lays on the development of image …

The homogeneous ignition and volatile combustion of pulverized solid fuel in single-particle
and particle group configurations were studied numerically in a laminar flat flame burner …

The ignition and combustion of coal particle groups are investigated numerically in a laminar
flow reactor. The Flamelet Generated Manifold method is extended to account for the …

The transition from single to group high-volatile bituminous (hvb) coal particle combustion is
experimentally investigated in a laminar flow reactor using state-of-the-art laser diagnostics …

Many complex simulations are extremely expensive and hardly if at all doable, even on
current supercomputers. A typical reason for this are coupled length and time scales in the …

Although renewable energy has recently attracted a lot of attention, coal-fired power plants
will still play an important role in electricity production in the future due to coal's abundance …
