Applications of the rapid devolatilization of coal in MHD power cycles
Abstract
An analytical model and a computer program were developed for the description of the process involved in the rapid devolatilization of coal. The theoretical results produced by the computer program were found to be in good agreement with experimental data. The theoretical relation between volatile yield and particle size was confirmed for the finer coal sizes but higher yields than predicted were obtained for the coarse fraction.
