In this study, effect of changing biomass source on radiative heat transfer during co-firing of high-sulfur content lignite in the freeboard of 300 kW(t) Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustor (ABFBC) is investigated by using an in-house developed radiation code based on Method of Lines (MOL) solution of Discrete Ordinates Method (DOM). The freeboard is treated as a 3D rectangular enclosure containing gray, absorbing, emitting gas with absorbing, emitting, anisotropically scattering particles surrounded by black/gray diffuse walls. Radiative properties of participating gases are evaluated by using Leckner's correlations and gray particle properties are calculated based on Planck's distribution from the spectral Mie solutions. Input data required for the model are provided from six combustion tests which were previously carried out for Can lignite with 14, 35 and 50% thermal shares of olive residue and hazelnut shells in the fuel mixture for the same Ca/S ratio. The results show that changing the biomass source affects the radiative properties of the particles in the freeboard through the change of particle size distribution rather than optical properties, which may lead to significant variations in radiative wall heat fluxes and source terms.

Significance of particle concentration distribution on radiative heat transfer in circulating fluidized bed combustors Ates, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2018-02-01) In this study, effect of particle concentration distribution on radiative heat transfer in circulating fluidized bed combustors (CFBCs) is investigated. The aim is to identify how important it is to include axial and radial variations of particle concentration along the splash and dilute zones in radiative heat transfer calculations and to determine the predictive accuracy of simple OD and 1D approximations for particle concentration distribution in the riser by benchmarking their predictions against a semi...
Influence of fly ash composition on non-gray particle radiation in combusting systems Ates, CİHAN; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2018-08-01) In this study, chemical composition dependency of both radiative properties of ash particles and radiative heat exchange are investigated for conditions typically encountered in industrial coal-fired furnaces. For that purpose, chemical composition dependent / independent complex index of refraction models are utilized to evaluate (i) spectral particle absorption efficiencies, scattering efficiencies and asymmetry factors, (ii) particle cloud properties representing pulverized coal fired furnaces (PC-Fired)...

For this purpose, a soot radiative property model based on Rayleigh scattering theory is coupled with in-house developed 1-D gray and spectral radiation codes and a 3-D spectral radiation code based on method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method for the application of (i) a 1-D slab problem involving combustion gases and soot and (ii) freeboard of a 0.3 MWt atmospheric bubbl...
