Abstract
A mathematical model to describe a circulating fluidized-bed combustor is presented. A modified two-phase model which was used in the bubbling fluidized-bed combustor is considered to simulate the dense zone of the bottom section. For the upper section of the bed the momentum and energy-balance equation are used to predict the temperature and velocity profiles for the gas and the particles. The model performs mass balances for the chemical gas species (O2, H2O, CO, CO2 and SO2) with consideration being given to the last for retention by limestone particles. The model is applied to typical conditions of a circulating atmospheric fluidized-bed boiler and the simulation results show the expected trends.
