Plasma-assisted combustion of pulverized coal

Kashif123 · August 1, 2016, 07:30

Is there anyone who familiar with the simulation of pulverized coal combustion with the Plasma torch (200 kW) using Ansys Fluent software. I am quite familiar with combustion problem (like RT Burner) but didn't know much how to incorporate plasma in the Fluent environment to initiate the coal combustion?? Please provide some guidance.

The two approaches usually employed (both assume that plasma is high temperature gas):

1. Introduce plasma as velocity or mas flow inlet, with appropriate temperature value.

2. Make volume domain in which you will model plasma effect as a heat source, additional sources for momentum equation may be necessary

first of all, you should specify what plasma do in the analysis

adding heat? multi-phase chemical reaction?
