AB  - In this paper pulverised lignite-fired 350 MWe boiler furnace is selected for numerical simulations performed by using in-house developed computer code to deepen understanding of complex processes during direct co-firing with wheat straw. The CFD code is significantly upgraded to accommodate simulation of lignite and wheat straw particle reactions and interactions with gas phase, and to allow analysis of particle behavior under real conditions inside the furnace. Parametric analysis is done with emphasis on the thermal share, size and shape of biomass particle, method of biomass feeding into the furnace and the fuel distribution over the burner tiers. In the most favorable co-firing case (with 10% of wheat straw thermal ratio and particle diameter of 500 μm), the higher furnace exit gas temperature for 8 ˚C and lower NOx emission of 18.2% are achieved, compared with pure lignite combustion case. The optimal co-firing case provides relatively low percentage of wheat straw particles falling into the hopper (9.57%) and relatively high mass burnout of biomass particles at the furnace outlet (91.81%). Non-spherical shape of wheat straw particles is found to affect the fuel trajectories and flame significantly. The results of parametric analysis could support implementation of biomass co-firing technology in existing coal-fired power plants, to increase energy efficiency and mitigate environmental pollutants. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - New application method of the zonal model in numerical simulations of pulverized coal-fired furnaces, continual corrections of the total exchange areas (CCTEA), is presented. The method is based on the corrections of the surface–surface, surface–volume, and volume–volume total exchange areas according to the changes of the surface zone emissivities during the iterative calculation of the numerical simulation and summation rules of the total exchange areas, so that it provides zero radiative exchange in an isothermal system. The method was developed for the homogeneous and uniform flame radiative properties. The results obtained by the CCTEA method were compared with the results obtained by the previously developed repeated run of numerical simulation (RRNS) method, based on multiple succesive run of the numerical simulation. The differences of the result obtained by the methods were found for various conditions of numerical investigations: initial wall emissivity, total extinction coefficient, and thickness of the ash deposit layer. The gas-phase phase radiative properties were determined by the simple gray gas model and weighted sum of gray gases model. Investigation showed small differences of the results obtained by the methods and their sensitivity to conditions of numerical investigation. The CCTEA method is an improvement of the RRNS method as it provides almost the same results after the single run of the numerical simulation and reduces the computation time. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Results of the study on SO2 reduction in a utility boiler furnace by means of furnace sorbent injection are presented in this paper with analysis of major influential parameters. The Ca-based sorbent injection process in pulverized lignite fired boiler furnace with tangentially arranged burners is simulated. In simulations sorbent particles are distributed among the burner tiers, where they are injected together with coal, and also through sorbent injection ports located above the burners. The sorbent reactions model was adapted to be efficiently implemented in the code for CFD simulations of complex processes considering both the calculation time and the results accuracy. The sorbent particles reaction model was simplified with several assumptions to allow for faster calculations and significantly reduce simulation time without loss in calculation precision during the particle tracking in boiler furnace. Two phase gas-particle flow is modeled, with coal and sorbent particles reactions and interactions with gaseous phase. Test-cases based on fuels with different composition and combustion organization were simulated in details, and results showed that significant increase in reduction of SO2 at furnace exit could be achieved by proper sorbent injection. The sorbent injection locations were analyzed with special care to enable maximum SO2 capture in the case-study furnace under investigated conditions. Most of the test-cases with low SO2 capture had one or more of the following problems: intensive particle sintering, low local temperatures (leading to low calcination rates), or bad particles distribution. Significant SO2 retention was possible when the process was organized in such a way that particles were exposed to optimal temperature range, and injected in the furnace zones with high SO2 concentration simultaneously. It was shown that better results can be achieved by injection of sorbent through multiple burner tiers, with SO2 emission reduction efficiency around 60% at the furnace exit in several well optimized test-cases. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Investigations suggest the need for better understanding of reactive gas-particle turbulent flow phenomena in full-scale energy systems. Numerical study was done in 350 MWe utility boiler tangentially fired furnace to clarify selected issues, such as turbulence modulation, particles dispersion, energy transfer between phases, combustion process and flame, by using an in-house developed combustion code. Numerical experiments demonstrated remarkable complexity of flow and interphase exchange. Maximal decrease in average turbulence kinetic energy of 33% due to dispersed phase was predicted for representative monodispersed coal; augmentation obtained for large particles could become attenuation due to the particles size change during combustion. Grinding fineness of polydispersed coal affected the flow, combustion and flame considerably. Fine grinding (R90 = 48.40%) provided ascending flame, higher furnace exit temperature and decrease in turbulence energy, compared with coarse grinding (R90 = 73.85%). Combustion of each particle size class of coal is completed at different vertical levels, influencing the flame position. Diagrams based on numerical predictions were proposed to enable efficient estimations of combustion and flame characteristics in the case-study furnace, for various coal qualities and mass fractions and changed distributions of coal particle size classes over the burner tiers, while necessity for further investigation was pointed out as well. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - The results of an extended research performed with the aim of investigating influence air staging application on processes occurred in boiler furnace have been presented in this paper. This subject was developed as a result of the need to obtain valid engineering methods for estimating the intensity of combustion and heat transfer processes under sub-stoichiometric conditions. The used calculation method, presented in previous publications, has been established by linking the differential mathematical model of processes in the furnace and conventional integral calculation procedures of all heating surfaces within the boiler. Such verified calculation method provided the algorithm for qualitative analysis of steam boiler operation regardless of the applied combustion scheme. In this research, by use of such approach, the operation of power boiler within TPP Kostolac has been assessed where combustion system was reconstructed during 2015. Calculation results in case of application of designed combustion system (UNR) and alternative air staging configuration (TC1) have been considered. In addition, the present air distribution scheme with the applied primary measures (R) has been analyzed. Comparison of such gained results listed in the same table ensures the trend of the change occurred by application of the air-staging system which needs to be more closely defined. Results of research showed that air staging throughout the furnace height slows down the combustion with the simultaneous intensification of the heat transfer process. Although this phenomenon led to the reduction in NOx concentration (195/470 mg/Nm3, dry, 6% O2), it decreased the power of considered boiler (725.5/774.0 MW) and increased boiler's efficiency (86.49/85.52%). Furthermore, due to the temperatures of superheated (517.0/540.0 °C) and reheated (524.0/540.0 °C) steam being below the designed level, the safety of the boiler's operation was significantly affected. The study also reveals that the boiler's efficiency rate is, in any considered case with applied air staging system, higher due to the possibility to run the boiler with the lower value of excess air ratio (1.15/1.22). Additionally, results demonstrate that distribution of the amount of air, as well as air introduction location, can significantly influence parameters of superheated and reheated steam as well as the regulation area of the same. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

Such verified calculation method provided the algorithm for qualitative analysis of steam boiler operation regardless of the applied combustion scheme. In this research, by use of such approach, the operation of power boiler within TPP Kostolac has been assessed where combustion system was reconstructed during 2015. Calculation results in case of application of designed combustion system (UNR) and alternative air staging configuration (TC1) have been considered. In addition, the present air distribution scheme with the applied primary measures (R) has been analyzed. Comparison of such gained results listed in the same table ensures the trend of the change occurred by application of the air-staging system which needs to be more closely defined. Results of research showed that air staging throughout the furnace height slows down the combustion with the simultaneous intensification of the heat transfer process. Although this phenomenon led to the reduction in NOx concentration (195/470 mg/Nm3, dry, 6% O2), it decreased the power of considered boiler (725.5/774.0 MW) and increased boiler's efficiency (86.49/85.52%). Furthermore, due to the temperatures of superheated (517.0/540.0 °C) and reheated (524.0/540.0 °C) steam being below the designed level, the safety of the boiler's operation was significantly affected. The study also reveals that the boiler's efficiency rate is, in any considered case with applied air staging system, higher due to the possibility to run the boiler with the lower value of excess air ratio (1.15/1.22). Additionally, results demonstrate that distribution of the amount of air, as well as air introduction location, can significantly influence parameters of superheated and reheated steam as well as the regulation area of the same. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd",

AB  - A comprehensive mathematical model for prediction of turbulent transport processes and reactions during co-combustion of pulverized fuels in furnace fired by 150 kW swirl stabilized-burner has been developed. Numerical simulations have been carried out by using an in-house developed computer code, with Euler-Lagrangian approach to the two-phase flow modelling and sub-models for individual phases during complex combustion process: evaporation, devolatilization, combustion of volatiles, and char combustion. For sub-model of coal devolatilization the approach of Merrick is adopted, while for biomass devolatilization the combination models of Merrick, and of Xu and Tomita are selected. Products of devolatilization of both the pulverized coal and biomass are considered to contain the primary gaseous volatiles and tar, which further decomposes to secondary gaseous volatiles and residual soot. The residual soot in tar and carbon in coal and biomass char are oxidized directly, with ash remaining. For volatiles combustion the finite rate/eddy break-up model is chosen, while for char oxidation the combined kinetic-diffusion model is used. The comprehensive combustion model is validated against available experimental data from the case-study cylindrical furnace. The agreement of the simulations with the data for the main species in the furnace is quite good, while some discrepancies from experimental values are found in the core zone. The presented model is a good basis for further research of co-combustion processes and is able to provide analysis of wide range of pulverized fuels, i. e. coal and biomass. At the same time, the model is relatively simple numerical tool for effective and practical use.

Two methods for determination of the wall variables, i.e., a repeated run of numerical simulation (RRNS) and a temporary correction of the total exchange areas (TCTEA) are compared. Investigation was carried out for three values of the flame total extinction coefficient and four values of the initial wall emissivities. Differences of the wall variables were determined using the arithmetic means (AMs) of the relative differences. The AMs of the relative differences of the wall variables increased with an increase in the flame total extinction coefficient and changed a little with an increase in the initial values of the wall emissivities. For the selected furnace, the smallest differences of the wall variables were obtained for Kt=0.3 m-1 and ew,in=0.7.

AB  - Several models considering the pulverized sorbent reactions with pollutant gases were developed over the past years. In this paper, we present a detailed overview of available models for direct furnace injection of pulverized calcium sorbent suitable for potential application in CFD codes, with respect to implementation difficulty and computational resources demand. Depending on the model, variations in result accuracy, data output, and computational power required may occur. Some authors separate the model of calcination reaction, combined with the sintering model, and afterwards model the sulfation. Other authors assume the calcination to be instantaneous, and focus the modelling efforts toward the sulfation reaction, adding the sintering effects as a parameter in the efficiency coefficient. Simple models quantify the reaction effects, while more complex models attempt to describe and explain internal particle reactions through different approaches to modelling of the particle internal structure.

AB  - The effects of the number of significant figures (NSF) in the interpolation polynomial coefficients (IPCs) of the weighted sum of gray gases model (WSGM) on results of numerical investigations and WSGM optimization were investigated. The investigation was conducted using numerical simulations of the processes inside a pulverized coal-fired furnace. The radiative properties of the gas phase were determined using the simple gray gas model (SG), two-term WSGM (W2), and three-term WSGM (W3). Ten sets of the IPCs with the same NSF were formed for every weighting coefficient in both W2 and W3. The average and maximal relative difference values of the flame temperatures, wall temperatures, and wall heat fluxes were determined. The investigation showed that the results of numerical investigations were affected by the NSF unless it exceeded certain value. The increase in the NSF did not necessarily lead to WSGM optimization. The combination of the NSF (CNSF) was the necessary requirement for WSGM optimization.

AB  - A cost-effective reduction of NO, emission from utility boilers firing pulverized coal can be achieved by means of combustion modifications in the furnace. It is also essential to provide the pulverized coal dfffitsion flame control. Mathematical modeling is regularly used for analysis and optimization of complex turbulent reactive flows and mutually dependent processes in coal combustion furnaces. In the numerical study, predictions were performed by an in-house developed comprehensive three-dimensional differential model of flow, combustion and heat/mass transfer with submodel of the fuel- and thermal-NO formation/destruction reactions. Influence of various operating conditions in the case-study utility boiler tangentially fired furnace, such as distribution of both the fuel and the combustion air over the burners and tiers, fuel-bound nitrogen content and grinding fineness of coal were investigated individually and in combination. Mechanisms of NO formation and depletion were found to be strongly affected by flow, temperature and gas mixture components concentration fields. Proper modifications of combustion process can provide more than 30% of the NO, emission abatement, approaching the corresponding emission limits, with simultaneous control of the flame geometry and position within the furnace. This kind of complex numerical experiments provides conditions for improvements of the power plant furnaces exploitation, with respect to high efficiency, operation flexibility and low emission.

abstract = "A cost-effective reduction of NO, emission from utility boilers firing pulverized coal can be achieved by means of combustion modifications in the furnace. It is also essential to provide the pulverized coal dfffitsion flame control. Mathematical modeling is regularly used for analysis and optimization of complex turbulent reactive flows and mutually dependent processes in coal combustion furnaces. In the numerical study, predictions were performed by an in-house developed comprehensive three-dimensional differential model of flow, combustion and heat/mass transfer with submodel of the fuel- and thermal-NO formation/destruction reactions. Influence of various operating conditions in the case-study utility boiler tangentially fired furnace, such as distribution of both the fuel and the combustion air over the burners and tiers, fuel-bound nitrogen content and grinding fineness of coal were investigated individually and in combination. Mechanisms of NO formation and depletion were found to be strongly affected by flow, temperature and gas mixture components concentration fields. Proper modifications of combustion process can provide more than 30% of the NO, emission abatement, approaching the corresponding emission limits, with simultaneous control of the flame geometry and position within the furnace. This kind of complex numerical experiments provides conditions for improvements of the power plant furnaces exploitation, with respect to high efficiency, operation flexibility and low emission.",

AB  - Environmental problems during energy conversion from coal into electric power are of great
importance and must be addressed as such. Before undertaking measures to improve existing
utility boilers, or during planning and building new plants, detailed analysis are required,
considering both techno-economic and the environmental issues. During the middle of the last
century a rapid development of computers started, and at the same time computers became
affordable and available to the end user. Thus, the 21st century becomes the era that will be
marked by significant changes in computer structure, possibilities and use. Advances in
computer development allowed for improvement of the computational methods in mechanical
engineering and in other fields as well. Process control and plant design with the aid of
computers are becoming everyday task and allow dealing with engineering problems that
have previously been unsolvable and required empirical approach.
One of the major contributors to environmental pollution is the emission of pollutants from
large stationary sources, that is, more precisely, from the pulverized coal powered utility
steam boilers. The subject of research in the dissertation is numerical modelling of complex
processes in utility boiler furnace during direct injection of pulverized calcium-based sorbent
(limestone, or lime) into the furnace for sulfur oxides reduction, with the model development,
as well as numerical analysis and optimization of the processes as the primary goals. Process
is well known in theory, however, as it can be found in the literature, the sorbent behavior
during the furnace sorbent injection is still not understood enough, and thus on the full-scale
plants the efficiency of the process significantly varies. Problems and the causes of significant
drops in efficiency can be attributed to the poor process control. Numerical modeling allows
for investigation of furnace behavior during various configurations of the sorbent injection
process, before any changes are made at the plant itself, which is of primary importance
during analysis and decision making about directions of the changes and upgrades of the
existing plants, and can give good ideas about the design of the new plants.
Developed software for three-dimensional furnace calculation includes differential model of
flow and heat transfer processes, combustion reactions model, nitrogen oxides formation and
destruction reactions model, and two selected and optimized models of sorbent particle
reactions with sulfur oxides from furnace gasses, applied within the comprehensive model of
furnace processes. A k-ε model is used for turbulence modeling, while the radiative heat
exchange is modelled by using the six fluxes model. Two-phase gas-particle turbulent flow is
modeled with Euler-Lagrangian approach. Interaction between gas phase and particles is
treated by PSI-Cell method, with transport equations for gas phase having source terms that
takes into account the particles influence.
Significance of development and application of such a software for calculations is mostly
notable in possibility to perceive and analyze processes inside of the furnace which cannot be
analyzed and (the entire system cannot be) predicted by other means. Understanding the
behavior of the boiler furnace during certain operation regimes, with the use of various fuels,
as well as under modifications such as the furnace sorbent injection is of great importance,
and represents a prerequisite for achieving efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly
boiler operation with compromises between the three, important but to some extent opposed
conditions.
Particular attention is devoted to the modeling of pulverized sorbent furnace injection,
regarding that a primary goal is investigation of possibility to reduce sulfur oxides emission
by means of direct sorbent injection into the boiler furnace. Problem is approached through
several phases, starting with the analysis of selected models of calcination, sintering and
sulfation reactions, their stability and behavior in two-dimensional simulated reactors with
focus on comparison with available experimental results in order to validate the models
implementation. In further study, models are implemented in three-dimensional numerical
code for simulation of in-furnace processes, with particular interest to observe, beside the
sorbent influence on sulfur oxides content, the influence it has on the furnace exiting gas
temperature and other relevant process parameters in the furnace.
During the research, a complex numerical study of the furnace sorbent injection possibilities
and accompanying phenomena was performed. Sorbent injection was simulated through the
burner tiers, and through the special injection ports above the burner tiers, individually and in
combination. Process was analyzed for several fuels with different heating values and varied
sulfur content, and various the impacts of different operation regimes and combustion 
configurations on the gaseous combustion products at the furnace exit were shown. Influence
of wide range of desulfurization process parameters was considered, such as: sorbent injection
position and particle distribution, particle temperature history and residence time, local gas
temperature within the furnace, calcium – sulfur molar ratio, local sulfur oxides concentration,
local oxygen concentration, etc. Conclusions were drawn considering possibilities for direct
sorbent injection into the pulverized coal fired boiler furnace, as well as suggestions were
given on optimal furnace sorbent injection configuration, depending on the boiler operation
parameters.
The developed software includes a user interface for easier data input for the case-study boiler
furnace, allowing for easier boiler analysis, and provides engineering staff with a tool for an
efficient software control, with the purpose of considering and analyzing better the furnace
sorbent injection technology and its potential applications in the utility boiler furnaces.
AB  - Еколошки проблеми приликом претварања енергије садржане у угљу у електричну
 енергију су од изузетног значаја и посвећује им се посебна пажња. Пре предузимања
 конкретних мера на унапређењу постојећих постројења, или приликом планирања и
 изградње нових потребно је извести детаљне анализе, како техно-економске, тако и
 анализе утицаја на животну средину. Средином прошлог века отпочео је убрзан развој
 рачунара, уз истовремено појефтињење и доступност крајњем кориснику, a 21. век је
 столеће које ће обележити и већ обележавају значајне промене у структури рачунара,
 могућностима и употреби. Напредак у развоју рачунара омогућио је развој нових
 прорачунских метода у машинству као и другим областима. Вођење процеса и пројектовање постројења уз примену рачунара постају наша свакодневница у којој је могуће решити проблеме који су раније били нерешиви и приступало им се искључиво
 емпиријски.
 Један од ових проблема јесте и проблем емисије штетних једињења из стационарних
 извора великих капацитета, односно, у нашем конкретном случају из енергетских
 парних котлова на угљени прах. Предмет проучавања у овој дисертацији јесте
 нумеричко моделирање сложених процеса у ложишту парног котла при уношењу
 спрашеног сорбента на бази калцијума (кречњака, или креча) директно у ложиште ради
 смањења емисије оксида сумпора, а циљеви дисертације су развој модела, као и
 нумеричка анализа и оптимизација ових процеса. Процес је познат, али, као што се
 може пронаћи у литератури, понашање сорбента приликом уношења у ложиште је и
 даље недовољно познат процес, и на стварним постројењима ефикасност процеса
 значајно варира између постројења исте или сличне снаге. Проблеме и узроке значајних
 разлика у ефикасности могуће је тражити у лошем вођењу процеса. Нумеричко
 моделирање нам омогућава да испитамо понашање ложишта приликом различитих
 организација процеса везаних за уношење сорбента у ложите, пре било каквих измена
 на постојећем постројењу, што је од изузетног значаја при анализама и одлучивању о
 правцима у којима треба вршити измене на постојећим постројењима, односно дати
 смернице при дизајну нових.
 Развијен је софтвер за прорачун процеса у тродимензионалном котловском ложишту
 који укључује диференцијални модел струјнотермичких процеса, модел реакција
 сагоревања, реакција настајања и деструкције оксида азота, и два одабрана и
 оптимизована модела реакција честица сорбента са оксидима сумпора из ложишних
 гасова, примењена у сложеном моделу процеса у ложишту. Употребљава се 𝑘� − 𝜀�
 модел турбуленције, док се за моделирање радијационе размене топлоте користи модел
 шест флуксева. Двофазни гас-честице турбулентни ток се моделира применом EulerLagrange-овог поступка. Интеракција између гасовите фазе и честица се третира
 помоћу PSI-Cell методе, односно у транспортним једначинама за гасну фазу постоје
 изворни чланови којима се узима у обзир утицај честица.
 Значај развоја и примене оваквог софтвера за прорачун се огледа у могућности
 сагледавања и анализе процеса унутар ложишта које на други начин није могуће
 анализирати нити предвидети понашање система другим једноставнијим методама.
 Познавање понашања котловског ложишта при одређеним радним режимима, уз
 употребу различитих горива, као и при модификацијама попут уношења сорбента у
 ложиште је од изузетног значаја, и представља предуслов за постизање ефикасног,
 поузданог и еколошки прихватљивог рада уз компромисе који из та три битна, али
 донекле супротстављена захтева произилазе.
 Овде је посебна пажња посвећена моделирању уношења спрашеног сорбента у
 ложиште парног котла, с обзиром да је главни циљ провера могућности смањења
 емисије оксида сумпора помоћу директног уношења спрашеног сорбента у ложиште.
 Решавању проблема приступљено је кроз етапе, почев од провере имплементације
 одабраних модела реакција калцинације, синтеровања и сулфатизације честице
 сорбента, провере њихове стабилности и понашања у дводимензионалним каналима
 којима се симулирају реактори и у којима је посебно посвећена пажња поређењу
 резултата са доступним експерименталним резултатима ради валидације модела.
 Надаље су модели примењени у тродимензионалном нумеричком коду за симулацију
 процеса у ложишту парног котла и ту је посебно интересантно било посматрати, поред
 утицаја сорбента на садржај оксида сумпора, и утицај на излазне температуре и друге
 релевантне параметре процеса у ложишту.
 У току истраживања изведена је обимна нумеричка анализа могућности уношења
 спрашеног сорбента у ложиште и пратећих појава. Симулирано је уношење кроз етаже 
 горионичких пакета, као и кроз посебне отворе изнад горионичких пакета, појединачно
 и у комбинацији. Анализиране су могућности процеса са више горива, са различитим
 топлотним моћима и садржајима сумпора и приказани су утицаји које различити радни
 режими и конфигурације сагоревања имају на садржаје гасовитих продуката на излазу
 из ложишта. Разматран је утицај великог броја радних параметара процеса
 одсумпоравања, као што су: место уношења и дистрибуција честица сорбента,
 температурска историја и време боравка честица у ложишту, локална температура гаса
 у ложишту, моларни однос калцијума и сумпора, локална концентрација оксида
 сумпора и кисеоника у ложишту, итд. Изведени су закључци о могућностима уношења
 спрашеног сорбента у ложиште парног котла, као и проналажењу оптималног начина
 уношења у зависности од радног режима котла.
 Развијени софтвер је опремљен корисничким интерфејсом који омогућава једноставно
 задавање улазних података за предметно ложиште, што олакшава анализе, а омогућава
 и инжењерском кадру олакшан рад са софтвером, а у циљу сагледавања предметног
 процеса као могуће технологије и њене потенцијалне примене на ложиштима парних
 котлова.

 Један од ових проблема јесте и проблем емисије штетних једињења из стационарних
 извора великих капацитета, односно, у нашем конкретном случају из енергетских
 парних котлова на угљени прах. Предмет проучавања у овој дисертацији јесте
 нумеричко моделирање сложених процеса у ложишту парног котла при уношењу
 спрашеног сорбента на бази калцијума (кречњака, или креча) директно у ложиште ради
 смањења емисије оксида сумпора, а циљеви дисертације су развој модела, као и
 нумеричка анализа и оптимизација ових процеса. Процес је познат, али, као што се
 може пронаћи у литератури, понашање сорбента приликом уношења у ложиште је и
 даље недовољно познат процес, и на стварним постројењима ефикасност процеса
 значајно варира између постројења исте или сличне снаге. Проблеме и узроке значајних
 разлика у ефикасности могуће је тражити у лошем вођењу процеса. Нумеричко
 моделирање нам омогућава да испитамо понашање ложишта приликом различитих
 организација процеса везаних за уношење сорбента у ложите, пре било каквих измена
 на постојећем постројењу, што је од изузетног значаја при анализама и одлучивању о
 правцима у којима треба вршити измене на постојећим постројењима, односно дати
 смернице при дизајну нових.
 Развијен је софтвер за прорачун процеса у тродимензионалном котловском ложишту
 који укључује диференцијални модел струјнотермичких процеса, модел реакција
 сагоревања, реакција настајања и деструкције оксида азота, и два одабрана и
 оптимизована модела реакција честица сорбента са оксидима сумпора из ложишних
 гасова, примењена у сложеном моделу процеса у ложишту. Употребљава се 𝑘� − 𝜀�
 модел турбуленције, док се за моделирање радијационе размене топлоте користи модел
 шест флуксева. Двофазни гас-честице турбулентни ток се моделира применом EulerLagrange-овог поступка. Интеракција између гасовите фазе и честица се третира
 помоћу PSI-Cell методе, односно у транспортним једначинама за гасну фазу постоје
 изворни чланови којима се узима у обзир утицај честица.
 Значај развоја и примене оваквог софтвера за прорачун се огледа у могућности
 сагледавања и анализе процеса унутар ложишта које на други начин није могуће
 анализирати нити предвидети понашање система другим једноставнијим методама.
 Познавање понашања котловског ложишта при одређеним радним режимима, уз
 употребу различитих горива, као и при модификацијама попут уношења сорбента у
 ложиште је од изузетног значаја, и представља предуслов за постизање ефикасног,
 поузданог и еколошки прихватљивог рада уз компромисе који из та три битна, али
 донекле супротстављена захтева произилазе.
 Овде је посебна пажња посвећена моделирању уношења спрашеног сорбента у
 ложиште парног котла, с обзиром да је главни циљ провера могућности смањења
 емисије оксида сумпора помоћу директног уношења спрашеног сорбента у ложиште.
 Решавању проблема приступљено је кроз етапе, почев од провере имплементације
 одабраних модела реакција калцинације, синтеровања и сулфатизације честице
 сорбента, провере њихове стабилности и понашања у дводимензионалним каналима
 којима се симулирају реактори и у којима је посебно посвећена пажња поређењу
 резултата са доступним експерименталним резултатима ради валидације модела.
 Надаље су модели примењени у тродимензионалном нумеричком коду за симулацију
 процеса у ложишту парног котла и ту је посебно интересантно било посматрати, поред
 утицаја сорбента на садржај оксида сумпора, и утицај на излазне температуре и друге
 релевантне параметре процеса у ложишту.
 У току истраживања изведена је обимна нумеричка анализа могућности уношења
 спрашеног сорбента у ложиште и пратећих појава. Симулирано је уношење кроз етаже 
 горионичких пакета, као и кроз посебне отворе изнад горионичких пакета, појединачно
 и у комбинацији. Анализиране су могућности процеса са више горива, са различитим
 топлотним моћима и садржајима сумпора и приказани су утицаји које различити радни
 режими и конфигурације сагоревања имају на садржаје гасовитих продуката на излазу
 из ложишта. Разматран је утицај великог броја радних параметара процеса
 одсумпоравања, као што су: место уношења и дистрибуција честица сорбента,
 температурска историја и време боравка честица у ложишту, локална температура гаса
 у ложишту, моларни однос калцијума и сумпора, локална концентрација оксида
 сумпора и кисеоника у ложишту, итд. Изведени су закључци о могућностима уношења
 спрашеног сорбента у ложиште парног котла, као и проналажењу оптималног начина
 уношења у зависности од радног режима котла.
 Развијени софтвер је опремљен корисничким интерфејсом који омогућава једноставно
 задавање улазних података за предметно ложиште, што олакшава анализе, а омогућава
 и инжењерском кадру олакшан рад са софтвером, а у циљу сагледавања предметног
 процеса као могуће технологије и њене потенцијалне примене на ложиштима парних
 котлова.",

AB  - Important tasks during pulverized coal-fired utility boiler exploitation are efficient utilization of variable quality fuels, operation in a wide range of loads and emission reduction of pollutants, like oxides of nitrogen and sulfur. Combustion process modifications for NOx control and the furnace sorbent injection for SO2 control are cost-effective clean coal technologies. For optimization of boiler operation mathematical prediction is regularly used and the need for modeling is most apparent in complex flows, such as turbulent reactive flows in coal-fired furnaces. Simulation of processes in a utility boiler pulverized lignite-fired furnace was performed by an in-house developed numerical code. The code is a promising numerical tool to be used also by engineering staff dealing with the process analysis in boiler units. A broad range of operating conditions was examined, such as different boiler loads, fuel and preheated air distribution over the burners and the burner tiers, grinding fineness of coal, cold air ingress and recirculation of flue gases from the boiler exit. Ash deposit on the screen walls, affecting the heat exchange inside the furnace, was considered as well. Simulations suggested optimal combustion modifications providing NOx emission reduction, with the flame geometry improvement, as well. SO2 reduction by injection of pulverized Ca-based sorbents into the furnace was also analyzed. Models of the sorbent particle calcination, sintering and sulfation reactions were optimized and implemented within the numerical code. Numerical experiments considered different operation parameters, such as Ca/S molar ratio, sorbent particle size and dispersion, local gas temperature in different injection zones and the particle residence time. A proper distribution of finely ground sorbent particles could be expected to provide an efficient absorption of SO2. With respect to the boiler thermal calculations, the facility should be controlled within narrow limits of operation parameters due to often contradictory requirements with respect to emission reduction and the boiler unit efficiency with safe operation of superheaters. A number of influencing parameters require such a complex approach to evaluate alternative solutions and enable efficient, low emission and flexible operation of power plant boiler units.

AB  - Pulverized coal-fired power plants should provide higher efficiency of energy conversion, flexibility in terms of boiler loads and fuel characteristics and emission reduction of pollutants like nitrogen oxides. Modification of combustion process is a cost-effective technology for NOx control. For optimization of complex processes, such as turbulent reactive flow in coal-fired furnaces, mathematical modeling is regularly used The NOx emission reduction by combustion modifications in the 350 MWe Kostolac B boiler furnace, tangentially fired by pulverized Serbian lignite, is investigated in the paper. Numerical experiments were done by an in-house developed 3-D differential comprehensive combustion code, with fuel- and thermal-NO formation/destruction reactions model. The code was developed to be easily used by engineering staff for process analysis in boiler units. A broad range of operating conditions was examined, such as fuel and preheated air distribution over the burners and tiers, operation mode of the burners, grinding fineness and quality of coal, boiler loads, cold air ingress, recirculation of flue gases, water-walls ash deposition and combined effect of different parameters. The predictions show that the NOx emission reduction of up to 30% can be achieved by a proper combustion organization in the case-study furnace, with the flame position control. Impact of combustion modifications on the boiler operation was evaluated by the boiler thermal calculations suggesting that the facility was to be controlled within narrow limits of operation parameters. Such a complex approach to pollutants control enables evaluating alternative solutions to achieve efficient and low emission operation of utility boiler units.

AB  - The influence of the gray gases number in the weighted sum in the gray gases model on the calculation of the radiative heat transfer is discussed in the paper. A computer code which solved the set of equations of the mathematical model describing the reactive two-phase turbulent flow with radiative heat exchange and with thermal equilibrium between phases inside the pulverized coal-fired furnace was used. Gas-phase radiative properties were determined by the simple gray gas model and two combinations of the weighted sum of the gray gases models: one gray gas plus a clear gas and two gray gases plus a clear gas. Investigation was carried out for two values of the total extinction coefficient of the dispersed phase, for the clean furnace walls and furnace walls covered by an ash layer deposit, and for three levels of the approximation accuracy of the weighting coefficients. The influence of the number of gray gases was analyzed through the relative differences of the wall fluxes, wall temperatures, medium temperatures, and heat transfer rate through all furnace walls. The investigation showed that there were conditions of the numerical investigations for which the relative differences of the variables describing the radiative heat exchange decrease with the increase in the number of gray gases. The results of this investigation show that if the weighted sum of the gray gases model is used, the complexity of the computer code and calculation time can be reduced by optimizing the gray gases number.

AB  - Multi-dimensional numerical simulation of the atmospheric saturated pool boiling is performed. The applied modelling and numerical methods enable a full representation of the liquid and vapour two-phase mixture behaviour on the heated surface, with included prediction of the swell level and heated wall temperature field. In this way the integral behaviour of nucleate pool boiling is simulated. The micro conditions of bubble generation at the heated wall surface are modelled by the bubble nucleation site density, the liquid wetting contact angle and the bubble grow time. The bubble nucleation sites are randomly located within zones of equal size, where the number of zones equals the nucleation site density. The conjugate heat transfer from the heated wall to the liquid is taken into account in wetted heated wall areas around bubble nucleation sites. The boiling curve relation between the heat flux and the heated wall surface temperature in excess of the saturation temperature is predicted for the pool boiling conditions reported in the literature and a good agreement is achieved with experimentally measured data. The influence of the nucleation site density on the boiling curve characteristic is confirmed. In addition, the influence of the heat flux intensity on the spatial effects of vapour generation and two-phase flow are shown, such as the increase of the swell level position and the reduced wetting of the heated wall surface by the heat flux increase.

AB  - A mathematical model of calcium sorbent reactions for the simulation of sulfur dioxide reduction from pulverized coal combustion flue gasses was developed, implemented within a numerical code and validated against available measurements under controlled conditions. The model attempts to resemble closely the reactions of calcination, sintering and sulfation occurring during the motion of the sorbent particles in the furnace. The sulfation was based on the partially sintered spheres model (PSSM), coupled with simulated particle calcination and sintering. The complex geometry of the particle was taken into account, with the assumption that it consists of spherical grains in contact with each other. Numerical simulations of drop down tube reactors were performed for both CaCO3 and Ca(OH)(2) sorbent particles and results were compared with experimental data available from the literature. The model of the sorbent reactions will be further used for simulations of desulfurization reactions in turbulent gas-particle flow under coal combustion conditions.

AB  - The European normatives prescribe content of 200 mg/Nm(3) NO for pulverized coal combusting power plants. In order to reduce content of NOx in Serbian thermal power plant (TPP) square Kostolac B square its necessary to implement particular measures until 2016. The mathematical model of lignite combustion in the steam boiler furnace is defined and applied to analyze the possibility of implementing certain primary measures for reducing nitrogen oxides and their effects on the steam boiler operation. This model includes processes in the coal-fired furnace and defines radiating reactive two-phase turbulent flow. The model of turbulent flow also contains sub-model of fuel and thermal NOx formation and destruction. This complex mathematical model is related to thermal and aerodynamic calculations of the steam boiler within a unified calculation system in order to analyze the steam boiler overall work. This system provides calculations with a number of influential parameters. The steam boiler calculations for unit 1 (350 MWe) of TPP square Kostolac B square are implemented for existing and modified combustion system in order to achieve effective, reliable and ecological facility work. The paper presents the influence analysis of large number of parameters on the steam boiler operation with an accepted concept of primary measures. Presented system of calculations is verified against measurements in TPP square Kostolac B square. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB  - The objective of the research was to find if an agreement of the results of a numerical investigation with experimental data could be achieved considering the two-phase medium in thermal equilibrium. Influence of the gray radiative properties on the radiative heat exchange inside pulverized lignite fired furnaces was investigated using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code based on a comprehensive mathematical model of the process. Radiative heat exchange was calculated using Hottels zonal model. Heat transfer rates and wall fluxes increased for small values of the total extinction coefficient, K-t LT 0.2 m(-1); decreased for large values of K-t, K-t GT 2.0 m(-1); and were maximal for moderate values of K-t, 0.2 LT K-t LT 2.0 m(-1). Heat transfer rates and wall fluxes decreased with the increase of the scattering albedo, though the decrease was considerable only for omega GT 0.5. Agreement with the experimental data was obtained for the moderate values of the K-t and for scattering albedo 0.1 LT omega LT 0.5. (C) 2014 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Comprehensive mathematical model of the tangentially fired furnace by pulverized lignite was made. Gas radiative properties were modeled by the SGG and WSGG models. Radiative heat transfer was modeled by the zonal model. Gas-phase variables and absorbed wall fluxes were compared on the basis of the relative differences that were determined for all control volumes and surface zones. Average relative differences of the gas-phase temperatures were about 1.0%. Average relative differences of the absorbed wall fluxes were from 2.0% to 5.0%. Absorbed wall fluxes determined by the SGG model were bigger than those determined by the WSGG model. Differences of the heat transfer rates of the absorbed radiation through the furnace walls were expressed in percents of heat transfer rates determined by the SGG model and were similar to the average relative differences of absorbed wall fluxes. Results justify application of the SGG model in comprehensive mathematical models of lignite-fired furnaces. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB  - Considerable research efforts focus on modeling NOx formation/destruction and predicting NOx emission so that it can be controlled. A motivation for this numerical study was to examine the efficiency of combustion modifications in the furnaces of Kostolac B 350 MWe boiler units, tangentially fired by pulverized lignite. Numerical analysis was done by an in-house developed NOx submodel, coupled with differential comprehensive combustion model, previously developed and validated. The NOx submodel focuses on homogeneous reactions of both the fuel and the thermal NO formation/destruction processes. The submodel was validated by comparison of predicted NOx emissions with available measurements at the boiler units. Selected predictions of the emission, the furnace exit gas temperature, NO concentration, gas temperature, and velocity field are given for the case-study furnace under different operating conditions. The individual or combined effects of coal and preheated air distribution over the individual burners and the burner tiers, the grinding fineness and quality of coal, and the cold air ingress were investigated. Reduced emissions of up to 20-30% can be achieved only by proper organization of the combustion process. Obtained results were verified by the boiler thermal calculations. An optimal range of the furnace exit gas temperatures was proposed, with respect to the safe operation of the steam superheater. Simulations by means of a computer code developed for the purpose, showed that the air staging using overfire air ports might provide the NOx emission reduction of up to 24% in the test-cases with relatively high emission and up to 7% of additional reduction in already optimized cases.
