Complex approach to the evaluation of the reactivity

Evgeny A Boiko, Sergey V Pachkovsky

Abstract


A universal experiment-calculation approach for the evaluation of the kinetic characteristics of thermochemical transformation of solid organic fuels based on the application of the methods of complex thermal analysis and mathematical simulation has been proposed. The technique of the thermogravimetric experiment data processing and mathematical model description bases itself on a unified calculation scheme of material balances and kinetic processes of natural coal burnout. Satisfactory qualitative and quantitative convergence of experimental and numerical results has been obtained.
