Coal is one of the reserve sources of fuel for many industrial applications. For example, in a coalfired power plant, coal significantly contributes to the operating costs of the plant. The control over the fuel cost and the level of fuel management can directly affect the economic benefits of the coalfired power plant. In this study, we have developed a generalized calculation methodology ...
Closed coal bunkers emerged as a novel form of coal storage for coalfired power stations. Nevertheless, heat builds continually in the storage process because of the constant oxidation of coal and combined with the impact of a confined coal bunker environment, it is difficult for heat to dissipate, resulting in frequent coal bunker fires. Consequently, research on coal pile combustion ...
