Ammonia (NH3), as a derivative of hydrogen and energy carrier, is regarded as a lowcarbon fuel provided that it is produced from a renewable source or a carbon abated process of fossil fuel. Cofiring ammonia with coal is a promising option for pulverized coalfired power plants to reduce CO2 emission. Applying the cofiring in an existing pulverized coalfired boiler can achieve satisfying ...
One of the main energy sources utilized to produce power is coal. Due to the lack of combustion enhancement, the main issue with coalbased power plants is that they produce significant amount of pollutants. The major problem of slagging formation within the boiler; it sticks to the water tube walls, superheater, and reheater. Slagging might decrease the heat transferred from the combustion ...

Modeling the furnace of a coalfired boiler is a complex task. Even though bulk of the heat transfer to the furnace water walls is by radiation, it is complicated by the presence of ash and other triatomic gases that participate in radiation.
The window position on the boiler is of course important for a clear view of the combustion process inside. A circular window with a diameter of 10 cm was opened on the boiler. The position of this window is carefully determined. The combustion process was visualized with the aid of a camera positioned approximately 2 cm away from this window.
Coal combustion processes are the main source of polluting air with solid and gaseous, as well as toxic and nontoxic, combustion products,, hydrocarbons, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, water vapor, and solid particles. The combustion of coal also produces solid combustion products, such as ash and slag.
The parameter of relative enrichment factor (REF) is used to reveal the enrichment or partitioning of a target element in coal combustion products of fly ash or bottom ash during the combustion process in boilers (Meij Citation 1994). REF is calculated using Equation Equation (1)
Integrated wholeboiler process models are useful in the design of biomass and coalfired boilers, and they can also be used to analyse different scenarios such as low load operation and alternate fuel firing. Whereas CFD models are typically applied to analyse the detail heat transfer phenomena in furnaces, analysis of the integrated wholeboiler performance requires onedimensional ...
