Soot cloud size of a single coal particle in air/oxy combustion under forced convection

Soot cloud size is important in radiative heat transfer and particulate matter emission since it determines the integral effect in the sooty region; meanwhile, study on soot cloud size during single coal particle combustion is essential to develop theories of soot-relevant reaction pathways and mass transport. In this work, a 1-D transient coal combustion model with an empirical soot model was adopted and validated to study the effect of gas...
