Abstract
Circulating fluidized bed combustors (CFBC) of industrial scale have sometinIes diameters of more than 10m and heights exceeding 40 m. Depending on the intensity of the reactions and the location of the insertion of reactants into the bed, temperature effects can not be neglected. A simulation tool for the investigation of these large-scale systems including sub-models for fluid dynamics, dispersion, reactions, mass balances and an enthalpy balance has been implemented. The simulation results provide three-dimensional distributions of temperatures inside the combustion chamber. The simulation results have been validated with results of local measurements in a 235 MWe CFBC of Elektrownia Turow in Poland.
