Abstract

A transient ignition model of single coal particle in one-dimensional reaction zone of counterflow flame was developed to calculate the particle temperature, density and production changes when it crosses the flame. The effects of flow, temperature and gas composition on the ignition characteristics were analyzed. Results show that the particle heating rate can reach as high as 1×105 K/s. With the increase of particle size, the ignition temperature of coal particle decreases monotonously, while the ignition delay time shows a gradual growth, probably due to the rapid ignition of volatile in an oxidizing atmosphere.
