Figure 2.94 50 shows the relation between the complete combustion time of coal
and the diameter of particle. Combustion temperature is 1773 K. The relation
coincides very well with Equation 2.27 in the case of 100-µm particles, which shows
clearly the diffusion defined process.

2.5.2.5 Combustion Behavior of Coal at Synthetic Air
Condition of High Temperature
To clarify the reaction behavior of coal under the condition of high-temperature air,
it is necessary to design a combustion furnace for estimating quantitatively the
emission rate of volatile matter. In this section, an example of the reaction behavior
of coal under the condition where it is actually reacted under synthetic high tem-
perature air is introduced.
This test plant is a horizontal type reaction furnace using pulverized coal under
high temperature and high oxygen content, as shown in Figure 2.95 . 52 With this
