Mathematical simulation of the combustion of a peat bed. Influence of steam condensation
Abstract
A model of the pyrolysis and combustion of a porous medium in the absence of forced convection is suggested. Substantial differences between this statement of the problem and filtration combustion of gases in inert porous media are considered. The influence of the condensation of steam contained in the products of pyrolysis on gas filtration and the temperature field close by the combustion site is shown.
