Modeling of fluidized bed combustion processes

Kapitel i bok, 2013

This chapter provides an overview of the aims, principles, and limitations of the different types of modeling used for fluidized bed combustion (FBC) systems with a focus on macroscopic modeling, which is currently considered the most suitable modeling approach for FBC units of industrial scale. Sub-models for the different regions characterizing FBC units are described, with emphasis on the most critical in-furnace phenomena. Guidelines and examples are given of how different sub-models can be linked into a comprehensive process model for FBC units.
