Abstract
The combustion characteristics of a mixture of anthracite and bituminous coal were studied in a 0.155 m i.d. fluidized bed combustor (FBC). The properties of the pressure fluctuation for the bed such as the standard deviation, cross-correlation function, dominant frequency and the power spectral density function were obtained through statistical analysis. To interpret the combustion characteristics in the FBC with uniform or multi-sized particles of anthracitebituminous coal mixture, the properties of pressure fluctuation were determined as a function of the particle size distribution and anthracite mixing fraction. In the present work, it is known that the combustion region could be obtained from the analysis of pressure fluctuation properties, and the mixed-firing of anthracite-bituminous coal is related to the reaction models of both coals and particle size distribution. Moreover, the relation between coal size distribution and static mean pressure, and the ignition region could be obtained from the mean pressure profile.
