| Description: |
The thermal conversion of solid fuel is the subject of this study. It focuses on the particulate nature of such fuels combusting in beds. The author believes that considering fuel in particle form offers a more realistic approach for analysis purposes than the conventional or traditional approach. |
| Synopsis: |
The conversion of solid fuel particles by drying, pyrolysis, devolatilization and gasification in a packed or moving bed is a complex process involving various aspects of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, chemistry and physics. This book presents both analysis of and simulation methods for the entire process based around the mechanisms taking place on different time and length scales. The author's analysis distinguishes between relevant processes and mechanisms of minor importance, resulting in the newly developed Discrete Particle Method (DPM). Contrary to the Euler approach, this considers a particle with its conversion processes attached to it, as an individual entity of a packed bed. Three major areas of the thermal conversion of solid fuels are thus identified and dealt with individually by simulation methods. A valuable text for students examining solid fuel combustion, the detailed exploration of different aspects of packed bed combustion also makes this book a useful reference for experienced engineers and postgraduates. |
