Kinetic model of the medium for formation of combustible nitrogen oxides in a coal-dust flare

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

A kinetic model of the medium (least complicated kinetic mechanism) is constructed for the formation of combustible nitrogen oxides in coal-dust flares. The model includes both the yield kinetics of volatiles from the coal with formation of a fuel gas mixture and the chemical reaction kinetics in the gaseous phase, which describe the conversion of nitrogen-containing components into NO during the combustion of the volatiles.
