Abstract

A general computer model for the simulation of steady state, reactive multiphase systems has been developed and tested. The model has been generalized to include any number and type of elements, compounds and phases. A number of test runs have been carried out with this computer model covering dense and dilute suspension, both of which are of great interest regarding fluidised bed combustion. Calculations also include sulfur reduction using limestone. The descripion of the combustion of solid fuel includes the following two main steps: decomposition of fuel into volatiles and char and oxidation of char and gaseous compounds. The verification example presented deals with coal combustion in a bubbling type fluidised bed reactor.
