Modeling of the pyrolysis process of coal particles

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A mathematical model of pyrolysis of coal particles is developed that takes into account the heat transfer of a particle with the surrounding medium, the kinetics of release of volatile components, the secondary reactions of cracking, and the depositions of tar in its motion in the particle pores. Calculated results are compared to available experimental data.
