Influence of the near-surface water film thickness on the characteristics and conditions of water-coal fuel particles inflammation

Abstract

The results of experimental studies of thermal pretreatment processes complex and inflammation of water coal fuel’s particles (WCF), which surface is covered with water film, have been presented there. The research has been carried out with using of three fuel types (cannel coal, coal B and filter cake): they have essentially different thermo physical characteristics. The results of our studies have been shown that the dynamics of the near-surface water film evaporation and fuel inflammation depends significantly on coal type. It has also been analyzed the influence of water layer thickness on the conditions of WCF particles inflammation. It has been established the time of water film evaporation is about 70% due to the whole induction period.
