A comprehensive model, previously developed for a rectangular parallelepiped shaped 0.3 MWt circulating fluidized bed combustor (CFBC) fired with high calorific value coal burning in sand and validated against experimental data is adapted to cylindrical configuration and is extended to incorporate NOx formation and reduction reactions and pressure drops around cyclone, downcomer and loop seal. Its predictive accuracy is tested by applying it to the simulation of Middle East Technical University (METU) 150 kWt CFBC burning low calorific value indigenous lignite with high Volatile Matter/Fixed Carbon (VM/FC) ratio in its own ash and comparing its predictions with measurements. Favorable comparisons are obtained between the predicted and measured temperatures, pressure profiles and emissions of gaseous species. Results reveal that predictive accuracy in pressure profile strongly depends on the correlation utilized for entrainment in dilute zone and that accuracy in NO emission requires data on partitioning of coal nitrogen into char-N and volatile-N and is affected significantly by dilute zone oxygen content.

Modeling of NOx emissions from fluidized bed combustion of high volatile lignites
Afacan, Onur; Gogebakan, Yusuf; Selçuk, Nevin (2007-01-01)
A comprehensive model, previously developed and tested for prediction of behavior of continuous fluidized bed combustors is extended to incorporate NOx formation and reduction reactions and applied to the simulation of Middle East Technical University (METU) 0.3 MW Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) burning lignites with high Volatile Matter/Fixed Carbon (VM/FC) ratios in their own ashes. Favorable comparisons are obtained between the predicted and measured temperatures and concentrations ...
Mathematical Modeling of a Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor Cofired with Lignite and Biomass
Külah, Görkem; Selçuk, Nevin (2010-01-01)
A comprehensive system model of fluidized bed combustor, previously developed and tested for the prediction of combustion behavior of fluidized bed combustors fired with lignite was extended for the modeling of cofiring of lignite with biomass by incorporating volatile release, char combustion, and population balance for biomass. The model predictions were validated against measurements taken on a Middle East Technical University 0.3 MWt Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor fired with lignite only, ...
Assessment of a model with char attrition for a bubbling atmospheric fluidized-bed combustor
Gogebakan, Y; Selçuk, Nevin (2004-05-01)
A comprehensive model, previously developed and tested for prediction of behavior of continuous fluidized-bed combustors, is extended to incorporate char attrition and is applied to the simulation of a 0.3 MegaWatt (MW) atmospheric bubbling fluidized-bed combustor burning lignites with high Volatile Matter/Fixed Carbon (VM/FC) ratios in their own ashes. The effect of this incorporation is assessed by comparing the predictions of the model with and without attrition with measurements. Favorable comparisons o...
Modeling of Fluidized Bed Combustion of Lignite with High Nitrogen Content Cotton Residue
Yasar, M. S.; Selçuk, Nevin; Kulah, G. (2019-11-10)
A comprehensive system model, previously developed for prediction of combustion behaviors of Turkish lignites, lignite/hazelnut shell, and lignite/olive residue blends in a 0.3-MWt atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustor (ABFBC), is extended for modeling of co-combustion of Turkish lignite and cotton residue. Cotton residue has high nitrogen content (similar to 4.1 wt% ar) unlike lignite (similar to 0.9 wt% ar), olive residue (similar to 1.6 wt% ar), and hazelnut shell (similar to 0.5 wt% ar), which le...
Modeling of a bubbling AFBC with volatiles release
Selçuk, Nevin; Gogebakan, Y (2003-03-01)
comprehensive model for continuous combustion of lignite with wide size distribution burning in its own ash in an atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustor (ABFBC) has been presented and used to correlate the data from a 0.3 MW ABFBC test rig. The model consists of submodels for hydrodynamics, volatiles release and combustion, char combustion, particle size distribution, entrainment and elutriation and is based on conservation equations for energy and chemical species. The volatiles release model is base...
