In India power generation is carried out through coal based power plants. The efficiency of coal power plants depends on coal combustion phenomenon. Hence there is need for understanding of coal combustion. Study of coal combustion through experimentation is tedious and expensive. This leads to use modeling techniques for understanding coal combustion. Therefore present book explains about the development of a model to describe coal combustion. The model presented in this work couples the heat transfer equation with the chemical kinetics equations. The combustion rate has been modeled by considering the first order reaction. The dependence of the convective and radiative heat transfer coefficient on Nusselt number is incorporated in present work. A finite volume method is used for solving heat transfer equation and Runge- Kutta fourth order method for the chemical kinetics equations. The model explained in present book is useful in power generation domain. The present work is helpful for research scholars and professionals who believe power of modeling.
