Abstract
It is important to accurately calculate coal spontaneous combustion (CSC) characteristic parameters for preventing and controlling coal fire disasters. Previous studies have shown that the process of CSC has nonlinear variation characteristics with temperature and O2 concentration. Based on this, non-linear improved model of coal oxidation characteristic parameters is constructed in this study, and compared with the linear model calculation case. The results show a power function non-linear relation of coal oxidation characteristic parameters with O2 concentration. The improved model can more accurately calculate the O2 consumption rate (OCR), gas formation rate (GFR) and heat release intensity (HRI) in CSC. In contrast, Linear model can more conveniently and quickly obtain the characteristics of coal oxidation. The transcendental equation dichotomy solution of the reaction order considers the actual attenuation characteristics of O2 in coal sample at the airflow direction, and the calculation result is more accurate. The average O2 concentration hypothesis method can be used to calculate the reaction order more quickly, and the results are consistent. With an increase in temperature, the O2 content sensitivity of the oxidation characteristic parameters first decreases and then increases. These findings have theoretical value for preventing and controlling coal fire disasters.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
