Modeling Percolative Fragmentation during Conversion of Entrained Char Particles
Miccio F
A numerical model of carbonaceous particle conversion under chemical and external diffusion control is proposed. The model accounts for different classes of particles which undergo chemical conversion in parallel with percolative fragmentation. It applies to typical conditions of entrained flow reactors. The system of algebraic and differential equations has been numerically solved. Results include the total carbon conversion as well as the determination of particle properties along the reactor. The model correctly predicts the change of the conversion rate at varying temperature, initial oxidant concentration and excess oxidant ratio. The influence of percolation parameters is also relevant and claims further investigations for more accurate determination. A comparison with experimental data available in literature is also provided.
