Abstract

This study investigates the combustion and heat transfer characteristics of a 100MWe pulverized coal boiler retrofitted for demonstration of oxy-coal combustion. By computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the flame temperature and wall heat flux were compared for air-fuel and oxy-fuel combustion with different $O_2$ concentration in the oxidizers. It was found that the oxy-fuel combustion requires an $O_2$ concentration higher than 27 vol.% for the boiler to achieve the similar value of wall heat flux with air-fuel combustion.
