Thermophysics and Aeromechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper presents the results of numerical studies of the influence of thermochemical activation of pulverized coal flows on the processes of heat and mass transfer occurring in the areas of real geometry (furnaces) with burning power fuel. The aerodynamic flow pattern, velocity, temperature, and concentration fields were obtained, the analysis of which allows the conclusion that plasma activation of fuel increases the efficiency of its combustion and reduces emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
