Abstract

A model for pulverized fuel combustion with allowance for the microstate of the fuel is proposed. It was shown that the burning of a fuel particle having a microstructure follows the laws of external (diffusion) and internal (relaxation) kinetics. The influence of the diffusion-relaxation mechanism on the burnout time of a fuel particle with a polymeric microstructure, its stressed state, and the pulverized fuel flame length was analyzed. The ranges of pulverized-fuel combustion parameters in which the flame length is determined by the fuel combustion or the gas jet mixing mechanism were distinguished.
