UKCCSRC-C1-27: Oxy-Coal Combustion Experimental and CFD Modelling Data

A project poster from the UKCCSRC Call 1 grant UKCCSRC-C1-27, presented in London on 27.06.16. The work details experimental investigations of oxy-coal combustion, ignition, and flame stability using a 250kWth PACT furnace and a visual drop tube furnace, alongside CFD simulations. The research addresses challenges in flue gas recycling, gas clean-up, and plant-scale models for carbon capture.

Use Cases

• Validate CFD models for oxy-coal combustion based on pilot-scale experimental data mentioned in the description
• Study the effects of real flue gas recycling on flame stability and ignition based on the described experimental tasks
• Analyze data on CO2 purity and oxygen mixing in oxy-fuel systems as referenced in the research challenges
• Benchmark laboratory-scale furnace results against pilot-scale furnace data as described in the project focus

Strengths

• Project details a specific 250kWth pilot-scale furnace (PACT) for experimental investigation.
• Explicitly addresses the research gap of lacking experimental data with real flue gas recycling for CFD validation.
• Links to prior academic studies (e.g., Santos 2012, Kimura et al., 1995) providing context.

Limitations

• The dataset is a poster; the underlying raw experimental or simulation data files are not described or guaranteed to be included.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
