Design Steps:
• Stoichiometric calculations
• Heat and Mass balance
• Furnace design
• Heat transfer Calculations
1.Stoichiometric Calculations
Analysis of coal
1. As received basis
Ultimate Analysis
C + H + O + N + S + A + M = 100%
Proximate Analysis
VM + FC + M + A = 100%
Theoretical Air Requirement and Excess Air
Coefficient
• For SO2
• For H2O
• For N2
• Theoretical flue gas volume:
Furnace Design
Generation of Absorption of
heat heat
Firing rate of
PC Furnace
Heat release rate of PC Furnace
• Heat available in the furnace is sum of heat released from fuel and
heat brought in furnace by preheated and leakage air.
3.Radiative Heat transfer equation
• Xr is given by hr/hfu
Furnace Emissivity
Emissivity of Pulverized Coal Flame
Summary
• Typical design calculations starts with
• Stoichiometric calculations
• Heat and mass balance
• From stoichiometric and heat balance calculations, rated
consumption B, heat retention coefficient average specific heat of
gases VCp can be determined.
• Then flue gas exit temperature Tou, surface area of the water wall tube
F , coefficient of thermal efficiency temperature field coefficient M,
and furnace overall emissivity afu, have to be determined.
