The use of coal is required to help satisfy the world's energy
needs. Yet coal is a difficult fossil fuel to consume efficiently
and cleanly. We believe that its clean and efficient use can be
increased through improved technology based on a thorough
understanding of fundamental physical and chemical processes that
occur during consumption. The principal objective of this book is
to provide a current summary of this technology. The past
technology for describing and analyzing coal furnaces and combus
tors has relied largely on empirical inputs for the complex flow
and chemical reactions that occur while more formally treating the
heat-transfer effects. GrOWing concern over control of
combustion-generated air pollutants revealed a lack of
understanding of the relevant fundamental physical and chemical
mechanisms. Recent technical advances in computer speed and storage
capacity, and in numerical prediction of recirculating turbulent
flows, two-phase flows, and flows with chemical reaction have
opened new opportunities for describing and modeling such complex
combustion systems in greater detail. We believe that most of the
requisite component models to permit a more fundamental description
of coal combustion processes are available. At the same time there
is worldwide interest in the use of coal, and progress in modeling
of coal reaction processes has been steady."
