Abstract

The aim of the work is to investigate coal combustion in fixed bed reactor. The experimental results were worked out in the form of approximation functions describing gas composition at the exit of fixed bed reactor. Furthermore, developed functions were applied for defining the boundary conditions at the interface between the fixed bed and gas phase using FLUENT. The simulations of a domestic boiler have been done and the relative effects of different factors in CFD code were evaluated by sensitivity analysis. The validity of the model was verified by measurements which were done in a 25 kW domestic boiler. Model predictions were compared with the experimental gas temperature and species concentration measurements.
