본 연구에서는 국내 원주에서 생산되고 있는 RDF의 열분해 특성을 조사하기 위해 열중량 분석기(TGA)를 이용하여 비등온 실험(10, 20, $30^{\circ}C/min$)을 수행하여 분석하였다. 다양한 성분의 물질을 함유한 RDF는 승온 속도에 따라 차이가 있으나, 대체로 $350{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 열분해 및 연소되었으며, 최대 열분해 반응속도를 나타내는 온도는 석탄의 그것에 비해 매우 빠름을 알 수 있었다. Friedman 및 Flynn-Wall-Ozawa의 방법을 이용하여 평균한 활성화에너지 값은 각각 14.44, 18.40 kcal/mol이었으며, Friedman의 방법을 통해 반응 차수는 1.219, 빈도인자 $3.02{\times}10^5(s^{-1})$의 값을 얻었다. 또한 Coats Redfern의 방법을 통해 앞서 계산한 활성화에너지 값과의 유사성을 비교하여 고체상의 연소반응 메커니즘을 판단할 경우, 개별 입자들 사이에서 하나의 핵에서 핵화되는 반응인 1차 화학 반응($F_1$)이 가장 유사한 반응 메커니즘으로 판단되었다.

영흥 화력발전소 1호기 보일러에서 발생된 미연분은 석탄 회의 재활용 및 보일러 효율 측면에서 문제를 일으키고 있었다. 본 연구에서는 미연분 및 사용 석탄의 특성과 현장의 연소조건 분석을 수행하고 보일러 운전조건을 변경하므로서 보일러에서 발생되는 미연분을 저감하고자 하였다. 미연분의 물리, 화학적 분석 결과 대부분 중공(中空)형태의 Cenosphere와 뭉쳐진(Agglomerated) 형태의 Soot로 이루어져 있었다. 영흥 화력발전소에서 사용중인 6개 탄종에 대하여 Tar 및 Soot의 발생 가능량을 CPD(Chemical Percolation Devolatilization) 모델을 이용하여 조사한 결과, Sanseo, Ensham, Elk Valley 탄의 경우 그 발생 가능량이 비교적 적었으며 Peabody, Arthur, Shenhua 탄은 높았다. 영흥 화력발전소 1호기 보일러의 각 미분탄 공급관에서의 미분탄 공급량을 측정하였는데 코너 별로 공급되는 몇몇 버너에서 미분탄이 편중되어 공급되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 soot가 주성분인 미연분의 산화율을 증가시키기 위하여 과잉공기량을 증가시키고 산화제와의 혼합정도를 높이기 위하여 SOFA(Separated Over Fire Air)의 yaw 각도를 적절히 조절함으로서 미연분의 발생량을 현저히 감소시킬 수 있었다.

A numerical study was carried out to analyze the effect of flow distribution of stirred part and plug flow part on combustion efficiency at the coal gasification process in an entrained bed coal reactor. The model of computation was based on gas phase eulerian balance equations of mass and momentum. The solid phase was described by lagrangian equations of motion. The $k-{\varepsilon}$ model was used to calculate the turbulence flow and eddy dissipation model was used to describe the gas phase reaction rate. The radiation was solved using a Monte-Carlo method. One-step parallel two reaction model was employed for the devolatilization process of a high volatile bituminous Kideco coal. The computations agreed well with the experiments, but the flame front was closer to the burner than the measured one. The flow distribution of a stirred part and a plug flow part in a reactor was a function of the magnitude of recirculation zone resulted from the swirl. The combustion efficiency was enhanced with decreasing stirred part and the maximum value was found around S=1.2, having the minimum stirred part. The combustion efficiency resulted from not only the flow distribution but also the particle residence time through the hot reaction zone of the stirred part, in particular for the weak swirl without IRZ(internal recirculation zone) and the long lifted flame.

In order to analyze the sensitivity on the pulverized coal flames of the several variables, a numerical study was conducted at the gasification process. Eulerian approach is used for the gas phase, whereas lagrangian approach is used for the solid phase. Turbulence is modeled using the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. The turbulent combustion incorporates eddy dissipation model. The radiation was solved using a Monte-Carlo method. One-step two-reaction model was employed for the devolatilization of Kideco coal. In pulverized flame of long liftoff height, the initial turbulent intensity seriously affects the position of flame front. The radiation heat transfer and wall heat loss ratio distort the temperature distributions along the reactor wall, but do not influence the reactor performance such as coal conversion, residence time and flame front position. The primary/secondary momentum ratio affects the position of flame front, but the coal burnout is only slightly influenced. The momentum ratio is a variable only associated with the flame stabilization such as flame front position. The addition of steam in the reactor has a detrimental effect on all the aspects, particularly reactor temperature and coal burnout.

A numerical study on swirling pulverized coal combustion in an axisymmetric enclosure is carried out by applying the 2-phase weighted sum of gray gases model (WSGGM) approach with the discrete ordinate method (DOM) to model the radiative heat transfer equation. In the radiative transfer equation, the same polynomial equation and coefficients for weighting factors as those for gas are adopted for the coal/char particles as a function of partial pressure and particle temperature. The Eulerian balance equations for mass, momentum, energy, and species mass fractions are adopted with the standard and RNG k-${\varepsilon}$ turbulence model, whereas the Lagrangian approach is used for the particulate phase. The eddy-dissipation model is employed for the reaction rate for gaseous mixture, and the single-step and two-step first-order reaction model for the devolatilization process for coal. Special attention is given to establish the thermal boundary conditions on radiative transfer equation By comparing the numerical results with experimental ones, the radiation model used here is confirmed and found to provide an alternative for simulating the radiative transfer.

In a view of capturing $CO_2$ as a greenhouse gas, an experimental study was conducted on the combustion characteristics of pulverized coal in $O_2$/$CO_2$ environment using TGA/DSC and DTF facilities. The effects of gas composition and concentration on the processes of devolatilization and char burning experienced by coal particles in combustion furnace and on the concentration of products such as $CO_2$, CO and $NO_x$ were observed using TGA/DSC and DTF respectively. As results, it were found that the rate of devolitilation is nearly independent on the $O_2$ concentration if it is over 20% but the char burning rate is a sensitive function of $O_2$ percent, and the two rates can be controlled by $O_2$ concentration in order to be similar with those of air combustion case. It was also found that high concentration $CO_2$ can be captured by oxy-coal combustion and high concentration of CO and low value of $NO_x$ are exhausted in that case. Additionally, NO reducing reaction by CO with char as catalyst was observed and a meaningful results were obtained.

To check adaptability of low ash coal(hyper coal) to chemical looping combustion, reaction characteristics of two coals (Roto and Hyper coal) with two oxygen carriers (NiO/bentonite, OCN703-1100) have been investigated in a thermogravimetric analyzer. Hyper coal represented low combustion rate and high ignition temperature, high volatile content and high devolatilization rate, and therefore, showed worse oxygen transfer during successive 10 cycle reduction-oxidation test than Roto coal. Finally we selected Roto coal as the candidate coal for chemical looping combustion. For Roto coal, OCN703-1100 particle showed better oxygen transfer than NiO/bentonite particle. During 10 cycle reduction oxidation test, change of the extent of oxidation (Wo) was negligible and we could conclude that both oxygen carriers have sufficient regeneration ability.

The burning characteristics of interacting coal particles in a convective flow are numerically investigated at various Reynolds numbers. The transient combustion of 2-dimensionally arranged particles, both the fixed particle distances of 5 radii to 20 radii horizontally and 4 radii to 24 radii vertically, is studied. The results obtained from the present numerical analysis indicate that the transient flame configuration and retardation of particle temperature augmentation with the horizontal or vertical particle spacing substantially influence devolatilization process and carbon conversion ratio of interacting particles. Volatile release and carbon conversion ratio of the second particle with decreasing horizontal and vertical particle spacing decrease gradually, whereas those of the first particle with decreasing vertical particle spacing increase due to flow acceleration. When the vertical particle spacing is smaller than $6R_0$, volatile release and carbon conversion ratio of the second particle decrease due to reduction of flame penetration depth and interference of oxygen diffusion by the first particle.

본 연구는 화염안정을 위해 약간의 메탄을 첨가한 1차원, Hat, 예혼합, 층류 석탄-공기 화염구조에 관한 연구로서 반응영역을 늘리기 위해 0.3 atm에서 운전되는 저압버너를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 가스 온도, 주요가스의 농도, 샘플된 촤의 분석과 화염속도에 대하여 여러 모델들의 해석결과를 실험결과와 서로 비교하였다. 여러 모델중 촤 표면적 지수(S=4)와 휘발성분에 대해 각각의 탈휘발화 속도상수를 적용한 model II $I^{*}$ -d가 실험치와 비교적 일치함을 보여주었다. 샘플된 촤의 분석 결과 입자의 반응이 낮게 예측되어져 촤 표면적지수를 증가시켜야만 했다. 이 지수는 촤의 반응 표면적에 대한 민감도 분석으로부터 얻어진 결과였고 model II $I^{*}$ -d의 화염속도 해석결과는 대부분의 측정치에 근접한 결과를 보여주고 있다. 고체 입자 직경은 열적 지연과 반응표면적을 통하여 탈휘발화율과 촤 산화에 큰 영향을 주며 이는 곧 화염속도에 영향을 주고 있음을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 새로 고안된 연료주입기(air injector)바로 뒤에 입사압축파를 반사시키기 위한 벽을 설치하므로써 고체입자의 입사압축파에 대한 노출을 최대한 줄 였고 또한 새로운 연료주입기에 의해 매우 잘 분포된 입자분포를 얻을 수 있었다. 반사압축파에 의해 생성된 고온 고압의 산소중에서의 고체입자의 점화지연시간을 측정 하므로써 기체유동이 존재하는 입사압축파실험에서의 점화지연시간과 비교하여 기체유 동이 고체 미립자의 점화에 미치는 영향을 알아볼 수 있었고 반사압축파에 의한 점화 상태 조건하에서도 표면 점화모델이 성립하는지를 고찰해 보았다.
