Summary This study applied the artificial neural networks (ANNs) model to the thermal data obtained by suspension ignition and combustion experiment of single peanut shells (PS, millimeter scale) pellet under O2/CO2 atmosphere. ANN11 was the best ANN model for predicting the relevant parameters of PS combustion. The coincidence between ANN prediction data and experimental data was over 99%. Two modes of biomass pellet ignition were observed: homogeneous ignition of volatiles and hetero‐homogeneous ignition of volatiles and char simultaneously. The ignition mode was transformed from homogeneous ignition to hetero‐homogeneous ignition when oxygen concentration was 50%. In addition, it was observed that ignition at the bottom emerged first, and then the upper end was ignited, finally generating an envelope flame. This phenomenon occurred when gas flow temperature exceeded 873 K or the oxygen concentration was greater than 50%. The reduction of ignition delay time and internal ignition temperature from 21% to 50% oxygen concentration was more intense than that of 50% to 100% oxygen concentration. Increasing oxygen concentration or temperature resulted in a shorter, brighter, and more stable volatile flame of biomass pellets, which reduced volatile burnout time. Nevertheless, the impact of gas flow rate on biomass combustion was intricate and irregular.

The urgent demands for the high efficiency and low consumption of carbon anode baking process stimulate the structure optimization of the baking furnace. In this paper, a closed-top innovative anode baking furnace (CTABF) with periodically arranged burners and anode crucibles is proposed, and the thermal process in the CTABF is studied via a coupled multi-physics model and the in situ measurement. Results show that the multi-channel design changes the one-way high-temperature flue gas path and increases its residence time in the furnace, while the temperature distributions in the inner and outer crucibles show good uniformity. The average convective heat flux accounts for about 68% of the total heat flux around the crucible surface, and thus the baking rate of anodes can be controlled by adjusting the power of driven fan. Therefore, due to the above structural retrofits, the baking time and energy consumption are reduced and the baking quality is improved, showing the superiority of the proposed CTABF over the traditional ABF.

Summary Coal is the most abundant energy source, and around 40% of the world's electricity is produced by coal combustion. The emission generated through it put a constraint on power production by coal combustion. There is a need to reduce the emissions generated through it to utilize the enormous energy of coal for power production. Detailed understanding of various aspects of coal combustion is required to reduce the emissions from coal‐fired furnaces. The aim of present paper is to review various aspects of pulverized coal combustion such as oxy‐fuel combustion, co‐combustion of coal and biomass, emissions from pulverized coal furnaces, ash formation and deposition, and carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies to outline the progress made in these aspects. Both experimental and numerical aspects are included in this review. This review also discusses the thermodynamic aspects of the combustion process. Furthermore, the effect of various submodels such as devolatilization models, char combustion models, radiation models, and turbulent models on the process of pulverized coal combustion has been investigated in this paper.
