CFD Evaluation of a Rotary Kiln Pulverized Fuel Burner

The predictions of CO are based on a thermodynamic equilibrium computer program in which the chemical equilibrium compositions for assigned thermodynamic states are calculated. Most often temperature and pressure, calculated from the main CFD code, are used to specify the thermodynamic state. The method for evaluating the equilibrium compositions is based on the minimization of Gibbs energy as mentioned earlier (Wang et al., 2006).
