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 based on a particle movement model for estimation of portion of volatiles released in bed and a devolatilization kinetics model described by the distributed activation energy model for determination of time-resolved devolatilization profile of lignite particles. Uniform in-bed volatiles release is assumed. The overall model was applied to a 0.3 MW ABFBC test rig fired with lignite with VCM/FC ratio of 2.16 The fuel was fed 0.22 m above the distributor plate and the expanded bed height was I m. Predictions of the model were compared with measured concentration and temperature profiles and good agreement was obtained. Bed/freeboard combustion split predicted by the model was found to be 80/20 as opposed to the value 84/16 determined from measured species profiles.

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 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, ...
Influence of bag filter ash to spectral thermal radiation in fluidized bed combustors Co-Fired with biomass
Yaşar, Mehmet Soner; Selçuk, Nevin; Külah, Görkem (2021-09-01)
Influence of fine particles collected in bag filter on spectral thermal radiation is investigated in the freeboard of a 0.3 MWt atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed combustion test rig where lignite, lignite/olive residue, and lignite/hazelnut shell blends are fired with limestone addition. For this purpose, a 3-D radiation code based on method of lines solution of discrete ordinates method coupled with banded one gas spectral line-based weighted sum of gray gases for spectral gas properties, Mie theory for s...
Analysis of material collected on particles exposed to volatile matter of bituminous coal in a fluidized bed
Vural, H (1997-05-01)
The activity of fluidized bed particles towards the volatile matter of a bituminous coal was analysed by measurement of tar yield and the direct measurement of CO2 concentration in the exhaust gas from the devolatilization of bituminous coal particles in a laboratory-scale fluidized bed reactor. In a third approach, thermogravimetric analysis (t.g.a.) of the fluidizing particles was performed, indicating that calcium-containing particles exhibited the largest weight loss. In a fourth approach, a mass spectr...
