- Abstract
- A premixed laminar flame burner was used to study physical and chemical effects of burning methane and pulverized coal simultaneously. Spectral emissions obtained as a function of height in flame, of OH, CH, C2 and CO were used to calculte excited state species number densities. Premixed methane-air flame with a numer of equivalence ratios and methane-air-coal dust flames with three equivalence ratios were studied. Differences between the methane-air and methane-air-coal dust flames were noted. Spatial temperatures were measured in all flames by means of a thermosouple probe. Temperatures for various equivalence ratios with and without the addition of coal are presented and these variances are discussed.
