Abstract
An experimental study of the burner rim stability characteristics and the flame base structure of flames co-fired with pulverized coal and propane gas is presented. Lift-off and reattachment characteristics are examined as functions of propane concentration in the jet stream for lignite, bituminous and anthracite coals. The effects on flame base structure are studied in terms of temperature, product species concentration and radiation profiles. The addition of lignite and anthracite coals favours the lift-off transitions. Bituminous coal, on the other hand, makes the flame more stable. The peak values of temperature and concentrations of major combustion product species in the flame stabilization region strongly depend upon the rank of coal. Among the coals tested, bituminous coal produces the highest peak temperature and its flame emits maximum radiation from the stabilization region. Anthracite and lignite coals produce somewhat comparable stability characteristics and structure of the flame base. The effects of coal rank are explained by the differences in volatile matter, moisture and pyrolysis characteristics of coals.
