Resumo

In the present work a one-dimensional model for coal combustion in a Drop Tube Furnace (DTF) is developed. The equations that characterize the flow, heat transfer phenomena and coal combustion reactions are programmed in a FORTRAN90 language code. The results are compared with a reference model and experimental data, showing good agreement. A sensitivity study is performed to understand the behavior of coal combustion due to changes of some working parameters of the DTF. From the variation of the oxygen concentration, working temperature and input flow rates the response of the coal combustion in terms of unburned fraction can be obtained.
