A CFD Study of Sawdust Combustion in a Furnace

This paper is about a study of sawdust combustion in a down-shot fired furnace burning semi-anthracite coal. The study is based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method using FLUENT software, and was carried out in collaboration with RWE npower. In this study, sawdust was co-fired with coal...
