Coal Characterisation and Design for Fossil Fuel Fired Boiler in Thermal Power Plants
Siddhartha and Raj Kumar Mechanical Engineering Department, YMCA University of Science and Technology, Zakir Nagar, Faridabad 121006, Haryana, India E-Mail: mailsiddhartha08@gmail.com Abstract: Coal is a highly heterogeneous in nature and requires several analytical techniques for its characterization so as to accurately predict its behavior during conversion processes such as combustion, gasification or liquefaction. The goal of utilizing the available large quantities of indigenous coal alone with reducing emissions is increasing the efficiency of power plants by utilizing steam conditions. The performance correlations based on bulk property analysis of coal adequately impact coal quality on conversion efficiencies and plant performance. Thermo mechanical analysis , an advanced bulk analytical technique provides detailed thermal behavior of ash relevant to power plant operations. The decrease in easily worked deposits , together with th...
