FlameRoom L2_Static
Created Tuesday 18 June 2013
A 0d-flame room model with stationary mass and energy balance regarding heat exchange with neighbouring furnace models and boiler casing walls.
1. Purpose of Model
This model is well suited to model the flame room areas of a boiler. In combination with Hopper_L2, Burner_L2_Static and FlameRoomWithTubeBundle_L2_Static models a 1-dimensional boiler model could be achieved which is discretised in flow direction. Radiative and/or convective heat transfer between linked furnace models or boiler casing walls can be calculated using replaceable models.

Heat Transfer
The following listed heat transfer models are the recommended ones. Of course other (e.g. generic ones: Generic HT) heat transfer models could be chosen.

Pressure Loss
No pressure losses are considered.
The following replaceable models are used to model the combustion of fuel inside the different furnace volume models. The model for the chemical conversion of fuel can be chosen with the replaceable model ChemicalReactions. The models BurningTime and ParticleMigration are used to calculate the amount of fuel burned inside the current furnace volume. If the preset burning time is lower than the time span for the fuel particles needed to travel though the current furnace volume, the complete amount of fuel is burned inside this component. If the burning timer is higher than the particle migration time, unburnt fuel is entering the following downstream furnace model.
Chemical Reaction
- CoalReactionZone: calculates the outlet composition for combustion of the used fuel and its elemental composition.
Burning Time
- ConstantBurningTime: setting a fixed value for the time needed to burn the whole amount of fuel entering the combustion volume.
Particle Migration
- FixedMigrationSpeed: setting a fixed value for the time span needed for particles to travel through the combustion volume.
- MeanMigrationSpeed: calculates a mean value for the time span needed for particles to travel through the combustion volume.

6. Governing Equations
6.1 System Description and General model approach
This model is used to build up furnace models with 1-dimensional discretisation and is used together with other models of the furnace package.
This model uses stationary mass and energy balances. The amount of burned fuel takes the particle migration time and the burning time from the replaceable model BurningTime into account. The lower heating value of the fuel can either be set in the parameter dialog or is calculated from the fuel's elementary analysis according to the "Verbandsformel" from [?]. Based on the elemental composition of the used fuel and a generalised ideal fuel combustion, the formation enthalpy is calculated to be considered in the energy balance.
All chemical reactions are calculated inside the replaceable model CoalReactionZone which determines the resulting flue gas mixture according to a combustion calculation and fixed parameters for the produced amount of CO and NOx, as well as the fraction of ash turned into slag. The slag moves through the furnace models in reverse direction (downwards). The slag outlet temperature is given by a parameter.
The component exchanges heat flows with up- and downstream models (via the heat ports heat_top and heat_bottom) as well as the surrounding walls (heat_wall) which are calculated with replaceable models for heat transfer correlations. If radiative heat transfer correlations are used inside a 1-dimensional discretised (sequential model arrangement) furnace, radiative heat flows are exchanged between the directly connected models (via heat ports top and bottom) and the surrounding walls (heat port wall). The calculation is performed with view factors which are calculated inside the heat transfer correlations. The following sketch shows the modelling principle for radiative heat transfer between the sequential arranged volumes and the calculation formula for the view factor. The amount of emitted radiation is calculated for a three dimensional volume, but the radiative heat flow between the models is assumed to be exchanged between two flat surfaces with the size of the furnace cross sectional area.
No backflow inside this model is considered. For correct calculation of backflows please use FlameRoom_L2_Dynamic with dynamic mass balance.
6.2 General Model Equations
The equation system of this component equals the one from FlameRoom_L2_Dynamic except the dynamic mass and energy balance of the flue gas. The mass balance of this Burner_L2 is not affected by ther thermal expansion thus the dynamic expression is missing.
The energy balance is carried out stationary too.
The rest of the equation system equals FlameRoom_L2_Dynamic.
Summary
A summary record is available which bundles important component values.
7. Remarks for Usage
8. Validation
The adiabatic outlet temperature of this model has been validated with Ebsilon calculations at identical boundary conditions.
The image below shows the flue gas temperatures over the furnace height. As can be seen there is a good compliance with the design values.
