A numerical study of pulverized coal combustion under Moderate or Intense Low oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion conditions is presented in a parallel jet self-recuperative MILD combustion furnace. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes equations, in a three-dimensional axisymmetric furnace domain, were solved using the Eddy Dissipation Concept model for the turbulence–chemistry interaction. The main aim of this study is to understand the influence of devolatilization models on the prediction accuracy of pulverized coal combustion under MILD combustion conditions. In particular, three devolatilization models are analyzed: a conventional single-rate model, a two-competing-rates model, and an advanced chemical percolation devolatilization (CPD) model based upon structural networks of the coal with a global kinetics mechanism. In addition, a new simplified numerical model is developed for Australian black and/or hard coal and optimized for the MILD combustion conditions. The modeling cases are validated with the...
