Flame propagation velocity is one of the basic physical quantities to evaluate flame stability. We developed a model to analyze flame propagation velocity for pulverized coals. The relationship between the coal concentration and flame propagation velocity was calculated using coal properties, diameter, initial gas composition, temperature of the surrounding gas, and radiant heat flux from the surroundings to the coal particles. In the present study, we examined relationships between such burning conditions and flame propagation velocity by fundamental experiments and then developed empirical formulas. Furthermore, we also developed a model to analyze the influence of the particle diameter distribution. We compared the results calculated using the model to the fundamental experimental results; the calculated results could reproduce the fundamental experimental results.
