Abstract: | Because ammonia is one of the most promising candidates for energy carrier in the future, various applications of ammonia as a fuel are currently considered. One medium for utilizing ammonia is by introducing it to coal-fired boilers. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first to report the fundamental mechanism of the flame propagation phenomenon for pulverized coal/ammonia co-combustion. The effects of the equivalence ratio of the ammonia-oxidizer mixture on the flame propagation velocity of pulverized coal/ammonia co-combustion in turbulent fields were clarified by the experiments employing a unique fan-stirred constant volume chamber. The flame propagation velocities of pulverized coal/ammonia co-combustion, pure ammonia combustion, and pure pulverized coal combustion were compared. As expected, the flame propagation velocity of pulverized coal/ammonia was higher than that of the pure pulverized coal combustion for all conditions. However, the comparison of the flame propagation velocities of pulverized coal/ammonia cocombustion and that of the pure ammonia combustion, revealed that whether the flame propagation of the pulverized coal/ammonia was higher than that of the pure ammonia combustion was dependent on the equivalence ratio of the ammonia-oxidizer. This unique feature was explained by a mechanism including three competing effects proposed by the authors. In the ammonia lean condition, the positive effects, which are the strong radiation from the luminous flame and the increment of local equivalence ratio by the addition of volatile matter, are larger than the negative effect, which is the heat absorption by coal particles in preheat zone. In the ammonia rich condition, the effect of an increment of the local equivalence ratio by the addition of volatile matter turns into a negative effect. Consequently, the negative effects overcome the positive effect in the ammonia rich condition resulting in a lower flame propagation velocity of pulverized coal/ammonia co-combustion. |
