Ash and pulverized coal deposition in combustors and gasifiers. Quarterly technical progress report, July 1--September 30, 1995

During this quarter, further progress has been made in accomplishing the objectives of the project. The computational model for simulating particle motions in turbulent flows has been further developed. The model was applied to the analysis of particle transport and deposition processes in a circular duct and in a plane recirculating region. A model for evaluating particle deposition rate in the presence of gravitational and electrical forces in turbulent flows formulated. Results concerning the deposition velocity of particles under various conditions were obtained. It is shown that the model predictions are in good agreement with the available experimental and digital simulation data. Experimental study of glass fiber transport and deposition rate is also being planned
