Advanced pulverized-coal combustor for control of NO/sub x/ emissions. Second quarterly report, December 25, 1980-April 3, 1981

Abstract

Second quarter (25 December 1980-3 April 1981) results under the Advanced Pulverized Coal Combustor f o r Control of NOx Emissions Program (DOE Contract DE-AC22-80PC30296) are reported. The program uses an ideal i zed one-dimensional combustor, incorporating fuel staging. A comprehensive computer model i s being developed under the program to allow NO mechanisms and rates to be extracted from the experimental data. During the quarter, modification of the existing PROF code to include particle effects was begun. Various aspects of the solution procedure are described in t h i s report. Refinements in the kinetic .
