Thermal analysis for obtaining coal ignition characteristics in boilers——Part 2: Intrinsic reaction kinetics by Yang LIU, Zezheng SHI, Zhaoshuai CHEN, Haoyu GOU, Jiye TAO, Shiming XU, Bo YU, Peitao ZHAO, Peifang FU, Huaichun ZHOU

“…The intrinsic reaction kinetic model of coal char is a key submodel required for computational fluid mechanics (CFD) simulation of coal ignition combustion rates in boilers, typically obtainable from thermal analysis. Although the study of thermal analysis reaction kinetics has been developed for decades, three main issues persist: ① Inconsistency between nonisothermal and isothermal kinetic parameters; ② Inconsistency between fixed kinetic parameters and mean variable kinetic parameters; ③ Lack of a universal kinetic model without uncertain parameters, such as the commonly used nth-order kinetic model, random pore model, and autocatalytic model, each containing uncertain parameters like reaction order n, structural parameter ψ, and reaction index a and c. …”
