Abstract

Objective of this study is to develop a two-dimensional Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) Boiler with cyclone solid separator using ANSYS Fluent Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The numerical simulation model presented in this study is aimed at combustion of lignite coal in boiler. The simulations were done using different approaches for how the flow is driven through the CFB system. For agglomeration phenomenon contours studied static pressure and volume fraction of ash. This study is more concerned about finding the location of formation of ash agglomeration and pressure of these areas. CFD modeling is used to find out the location the ash agglomeration phenomenon in the Circulating fluidized bed combustion boiler.
