Mathematical modeling of ignition of coal-water slurries particles coated with water film

The results of the mathematical modeling of heat and mass transfer processes occurring jointly with ignition of coal-water slurries particles covered with a water film are presented. It is shown that water film thickness can have a significant effect on the ignition dynamics. In addition, it was found out that the main fuel layer is heated to the evaporation temperature during water film evaporation. As a result, following processes of thermal preparation (evaporation of moisture, thermal decomposition) occur faster
