Modeling of NOx emissions from a W-shaped boiler furnace under different operating conditions
A numerical model for gas-particle flow dynamics has been combined with an NOx chemistry post-processor to predict the formation of nitric oxide in a three-dimensional, W-shaped boiler furnace burning pulverized fuel. The model includes complex interactions in gas-particle turbulent flow, heat transfer, gaseous chemical reaction, coal combustion, and NOx reaction chemistry. Because fuel nitrogen is released in proportion to burnout df pulverized coal particles, the particles are treated in a Lagrangian framework in order to track burning pulverized coal particles through the gas continuum. The results show capability of the model to describe NOx emissions under different operating conditions for full and partial loads.
