Influence of pressure on the combustion rate of carbon

Experimental study of the burning behavior of n‐heptane pool fires at high altitude

“…Moreover, lots of experiments about the raised pressure effects on major heat release chemistry have been performed , although the cases for the decreasing pressure are still unknown, for example, Carriere et al . proposed that the reaction pathways of ethylene combustion should change when affected by the ambient pressure.…”

On the burning behavior of pulverized coal chars

“…Most of the models that have been developed to describe pulverized coal char combustion that are applicable to burning in the zone II regime use apparent reaction rate coefficients to describe overall particle burning rates [1][2][3][4][5] and the following power-law mode of burning submodel to predict apparent density and size variations with mass loss [1][2][3][4]6,7]:…”

Estimation of Burning Rates in Solid Waste Combustion Furnaces

“…Originally they are proposed for the combustion of a single spherical fuel particle. Essenhigh and Mescher (1996) pointed out that for carbon combustion the reaction rates can be adequately predicted by the available fundamental theories and the use of nth-order empirical reaction is not necessary. Although, in this work the focus is on modeling the oxygen distribution in a solid fuel bed with strong back mixing of overfire air, the empirical n-order formulations are opted as the general expression for reaction rates.…”
