One-dimensional modeling of oxy-fuel fluidized bed combustion for CO2 capture

Paper in proceeding, 2010

A one-dimensional model has been developed with the aim of investigating oxyfuel circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustion for CO2 capture with the main focus of assessing the heat balance of the CFB loop. For different oxygen concentrations in the gas flow fed to the furnace, the model calculates the external solids recirculation and the heat load in the furnace and in external particle coolers.
