The influences of air staging on NOx emission and burnout of coal flames were investigated using 1MWth combustion test facility. The experiments showed that variation of overall excess air ratio led to a relatively higher NOx emission level for ${\lambda}=1.2.$ When air staging was applied to the combustion air, it was confirmed that a fuel rich primary combustion zone was established and unburned char was burened completely by mixing with the staged air supplied radially around the flame. The NOx emissions were redued by increasing the staged air flow rate, and staging air was suggested to be more than 40% of the total combustion air for the substantial NOx reduction.

A numerical study for simulating a swirling pulverized coal combustion in axisymmetric geometry is done here by applying the weighted sum of gray gases model (WSGGM) approach with the discrete ordinate method (DOM) to model the radiative heat transfer equation. In the radiative transfer equation, the same polynomial equation and coefficients for weighting factors as those for gas are adopted for the coal/char particles as a function of partial pressure and particle temperature. The Eulerian balance equations for mass, momentum, energy, and species mass fractions are adopted with the standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model, whereas the Lagrangian approach is used for the particulate phase for soot. The eddydissipation model is employed for the reaction rate for gaseous mixture, and the single-step first-order reaction model for the devolatilization process for coal. By comparing the numerical results with experimental ones, the models used here are confirmed and found to be one of good alternatives for simulating the combustion as well as radiative characteristics.

The laminar combustion characteristics of interacting coal particles in a convective flow are numerically investigated at particle arrangement and size difference. The numerical simulations, which use the two-step global reaction model to account for the surrounding gas effect, show the detailed interaction among the inter-space particles, undergoing devolatilization and subsequent char burning. Several parametric studies, which include the effect of the gas temperature (1700 K), high pressure(10 atm) and variation in geometrical arrangement of the particle diameter on the volatile release rate and the char combustion rate, have been carried out. The comparison indicates that the shift to the multiple particle arrangement resulted in the substantial change of the combustion characteristics and that the volatile release rate of the interacting coal particles exhibits a strong dependency on the particle spacing and size difference.

Many computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations have treated the coal kinetics poorly due to large physical domain sizes and high computational complexity, particularly for the recent oxy-coal boilers. Furthermore, some modelers' lack of understanding of the kinetic rate model seems to worsen the simulation accuracy. This study is to suggest the importance of proper use of single-film global kinetic model generally used in CFD code to describe the oxy-fuel combustion of coal char through simple char burnout calculation.

Combustion behavior of pulverized coal particles in a post-combustion gas reactor was investigated. Radiation emission from coal particles were analyzed by direct photograph and $CH^*$ radical chemiluminescence intensity. Coal particles were sampled during the combustion and were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cross section micrograpy technique. Two coal types(one bituminous and one subbituminous coals typically used in the Korean power plants) were tested at typical combustion environment. Gas flow conditions were controlled to represent temperature and oxygen concentration. Experimental data were discussed along with conceptual descriptions of pulverized coal combustion, where particle heat-up, release and combustion of volatiles, and char combustion were sequentially progressed.

As one of the primary fuel sources, oxy-fuel combustion of coal is actively being investigated because of the climate changing problem such like the emission of green house gases. In this paper research about the pulverized coal technology, which is widely used in both power-generating and iron-making processes was studied to invesgate the ignition behaviour of pulverized coal particles during coal combustion as changing the ambient oxygen concentration of the particle. The ignition phenomenon of the coal particles fed into a laminar flow reactor was imaged with a Integrated charged-coupled device (ICCD) camera. The ignition points were determined throught the analysis of the images, and then the ignition delay times were able to be calculated. The experiment results show that a lower oxygen concentration increases the ignition delay time.

In pulverized coal fired boilers, slagging and fouling may cause significant effect on the operational life of boiler. As increasing a consumption of low rank coal, slagging and fouling are main issues in pulverized coal combustion. This study predicts ash deposition propensity in a 0.7 MW pilot-scale furnace. Slagging model is employed as a User-Defined Function (UDF) of FLUENT and validated against measurement and prediction. The results show good agreement compared with experiment. There is need to development of a pulverized coal combustion and slagging analysis at low coal.

The burning characteristics of interacting coal particles in a convective flow are numerically investigated at various Reynolds numbers. The transient combustion of 2-dimensionally arranged particles, both the fixed particle distances of 5 radii to 20 radii horizontally and 4 radii to 24 radii vertically, is studied. The results obtained from the present numerical analysis indicate that the transient flame configuration and retardation of particle temperature augmentation with the horizontal or vertical particle spacing substantially influence devolatilization process and carbon conversion ratio of interacting particles. Volatile release and carbon conversion ratio of the second particle with decreasing horizontal and vertical particle spacing decrease gradually, whereas those of the first particle with decreasing vertical particle spacing increase due to flow acceleration. When the vertical particle spacing is smaller than $6R_0$, volatile release and carbon conversion ratio of the second particle decrease due to reduction of flame penetration depth and interference of oxygen diffusion by the first particle.

미분탄의 연소 또는 열분해 과정으로부터 발생하는 tar-soot는 복사 열전달 및 질소산화물의 추가적인 발생 원인이라는 관점에서 의미 있게 다루어지고 있다. 최근 저열량탄이 증가함에 따라 시멘트의 원료로 재활용되던 석탄회에서 다량의 미연분과 tar-soot가 포함되어 오히려 다시 반입되는 사례가 빈번해지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저열량탄 사용 확대에 따른 혼탄연소 조건에서 tar-soot의 배출특성을 살펴보기 위해 반응기로써 LFR(Laminar Flow Reactor)을 적용하였으며, 연료로는 현재 국내발전소에서 사용 중인 역청탄 2종(MOUNTAIN, MACARHTUR)과 아역청탄(KPU)을 이용하여 단탄별 tar-soot 배출특성과 혼소비에 따른 배출특성을 화염의 구조 변화와 함께 측정하였다. 휘발분이 많은 아역청탄의 soot cloud 길이는 역청탄에 비해 길었지만 전체적인 화염 길이는 짧아졌다. 단탄별 실험결과에서는 역청탄의 tar-soot 발생량이 아역청탄의 발생률보다 높았으며 역청탄 중 휘발분 함량이 많은 MOUNTAIN탄이 상대적으로 휘발분 함량이 적은 MACARHTUR탄의 tar-soot 발생률보다 높았다. 혼소시에는 단탄의 연소특성과는 다른 새로운 특성을 나타내었으며 저열량탄과 혼소되는 역 청탄의 종에 따라 tar-soot 발생량이 지배되는 것을 확인하였으나 혼소비에 따른 평균적 특성이 아닌 완전히 차별되는 배출특성을 나타냄에 따라 석탄의 등급에 따라 최적의 혼소비를 찾아서 연소시키는 것이 tar-soot 발생량을 줄일 수 있는 방법임을 의미한다.

영흥 화력발전소 1호기 보일러에서 발생된 미연분은 석탄 회의 재활용 및 보일러 효율 측면에서 문제를 일으키고 있었다. 본 연구에서는 미연분 및 사용 석탄의 특성과 현장의 연소조건 분석을 수행하고 보일러 운전조건을 변경하므로서 보일러에서 발생되는 미연분을 저감하고자 하였다. 미연분의 물리, 화학적 분석 결과 대부분 중공(中空)형태의 Cenosphere와 뭉쳐진(Agglomerated) 형태의 Soot로 이루어져 있었다. 영흥 화력발전소에서 사용중인 6개 탄종에 대하여 Tar 및 Soot의 발생 가능량을 CPD(Chemical Percolation Devolatilization) 모델을 이용하여 조사한 결과, Sanseo, Ensham, Elk Valley 탄의 경우 그 발생 가능량이 비교적 적었으며 Peabody, Arthur, Shenhua 탄은 높았다. 영흥 화력발전소 1호기 보일러의 각 미분탄 공급관에서의 미분탄 공급량을 측정하였는데 코너 별로 공급되는 몇몇 버너에서 미분탄이 편중되어 공급되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 soot가 주성분인 미연분의 산화율을 증가시키기 위하여 과잉공기량을 증가시키고 산화제와의 혼합정도를 높이기 위하여 SOFA(Separated Over Fire Air)의 yaw 각도를 적절히 조절함으로서 미연분의 발생량을 현저히 감소시킬 수 있었다.
