Abstract. In this paper the results obtained by the method of numerical modelling of Ekibastuz coal burning in furnace of Kazakhstan Power Plant. Numerical experiment was carried out on the basis of three-dimensional equations of convective heat and mass transfer, taking into account the heat propagation, heat radiation, chemical reactions and multiphase structure of the medium to predict the influence of different water content in coal on overall furnace operation and formation of combustion products.
The aim of the work is to create new computer technologies for 3D modeling of heat and mass transfer processes in high-temperature physico-chemical-reactive environments that will allow to determine the aerodynamics of the flow, heat and mass transfer characteristics of technological processes occurring in the combustion chambers in the operating coal TPP RK. The novelty of the research lies in the use of the latest information technologies of 3D modeling, which will allow project participants to obtain new data on the complex processes of heat and mass transfer during the burning of pulverized coal in real combustion chambers operating in the CHP of RK. Numerical simulation, including thermodynamic, kinetic and three-dimensional computer simulation of heat and mass transfer processes when burning low-grade fuel, will allow finding optimal conditions for setting adequate physical, mathematical and chemical models of the technological process of combustion, as well as conduct a comprehensive study and thereby develop ways to optimize the process of ignition, gasification and burning high ash coals. The proposed methods of computer simulation are new and technically feasible when burning all types of coal used in pulverized coal-fired power plants around the world. The developed technologies will allow replacing or eliminating the conduct of expensive and labor-consuming natural experiments on coal-fired power plants.
The aim of the work is to create new computer technologies for 3D modelling of heat and mass transfer processes in high-temperature physicochemically reacting environments that will allow to determine the aerodynamics of the flow and heat and mass transfer characteristics of technological processes occurring in the combustion chambers in existing coal-fired thermal power plants of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The novelty of the research lies in the use of the latest information technologies of 3D modelling, which will enable project participants to obtain new data on complex heat and mass transfer processes when burning pulverized coal in real combustion chambers operating in Kazakhstan’s Thermal Power Plants (TPP). A numerical simulation, including thermodynamic, kinetic and threedimensional computer simulation of heat and mass transfer processes when burning low-grade fuel, will allow finding optimal conditions for setting adequate physical, mathematical and chemical models of the technological process of combustion of burning high ash coals. The computer modelling methods proposed for the development are new and technically feasible, since coal-fired power plants all over the world use all types of coal. The developed technologies will allow replacing or eliminating the conduct of expensive and labour-consuming natural experiments on coal-fired power plants.
In this work, a comprehensive study of thermal processes and aerodynamic and concentration characteristics of the combustion chamber of the boiler BKZ-75 of the Shakhtinskaya thermal power plant (Kazakhstan) are presented. A comparison of the characteristics of the combustion processes for two cases is given for the direct-flow method of supplying the mixture - the burners are located on opposite-side walls and the swirl-air mixture supplying method - burners with a swirl angle of the air mixture flow and their inclination to the centre of symmetry of the boiler by 30 degrees. The research results allow us to determine the optimal technological parameters of the studied object, to improve the methodology for the numerical study of heat and mass transfer processes in high-temperature and chemically reacting flows in the presence of turbulence, and also develop appropriate technological solutions for installing burner devices (direct-flow or swirl) in the studied combustion chamber.
