 Simulation for Heat Transfer and Combustion in a Boiler Furnace 

ZHANG Teng-fei, LUO Rui, REN Ting-jin

A one-dimensional model was developed for the simulation of heat transfer and combustion in a pulverized coal-fired boiler furnace using the zone imaginary plane method (IPM). The furnace was divided into several zones along the flue gas path, and the combustion and radiative heat transfer in the burner and burning-out regions were calculated using a lumped-parameter method in the zones to simplify analysis for those complex procedures. Formulations of effective emissive power for both real surfaces and imaginary planes were derived and also formulations of burn-off rate for pulverized coal were deducted. One-dimensional temperature profile in the furnace was achieved by solving the mass and energy conservation equations in each zoneand then the radiative heat transfer into water walls could be calculated accordingly. The practical simulations by the model were in good agreement with some predictions by other three-dimensional models and some measured data, and could be done in real time due to the simplicity of the model
