| Abstract: | This study aims to clarify the effect of fuel ratio of coal on the turbulent flame speed of ammonia/coal particle cloud co-combustion at atmospheric pressure under various turbulence intensities. High-fuel-ratio coals are not usually used in coal-fired thermal power plants because of their low flame stability. The expectation is that ammonia as a hydrogen-energy carrier would improve the ignition capability of coal particles in co-combustion. Experiments on spherical turbulent flame propagation of co-combustion were conducted for various coal types under various turbulence intensities, using the unique experimental apparatus developed for the co-combustion. Experimental results show that the flame speed of co-combustion with a low equivalence ratio of ammonia/oxidizer mixture for bituminous coal case was found to be three times faster than that of pure coal combustion and two times faster than that of pure ammonia combustion. On the other hand, the flame speed of co-combustion for the highest-fuel-ratio coal case is lower than that of the pure ammonia combustion case, although the flame propagation can be sustained due to the ammonia mixing. To explain the difference of tendencies depending on the fuel ratio of coal, a flame propagation mechanism of ammonia/coal particle cloud co-combustion was proposed. Two positive effects are the increases of local equivalence ratio and the increases of radiation heat flux, which increases the flame speed. In opposite, a negative effect is the heat sink effect that decreases the flame speed. The two positive effects on the flame speed of co-combustion overwhelm a negative effect for bituminous coal case, while the negative effect overcomes both positive effects for the highest-fuel-ratio coal case. The findings of the study can contribute to the reduction of solid fuel costs when the ammonia is introduced as CO2 free energy carrier and can improve the energy security through the utilization of high-fuel-ratio coals. |
