RESUMO

The strategic role of energy and the current concern with greenhouse effects, energetic and exergetic efficiency of fossil fuel combustion greatly enhance the importance of the studies of complex physical and chemical processes occurring inside boilers of thermalpower plants. The state of the art in computational fluid dynamics and the availability of commercial codes encourage numeric studies of the combustion processes. In the presentwork the commercial software CFX © Ansys Europe Ltd. was used to study the combustionof coal in a 160 MWe commercial thermal power plant with the objective of simulating the operational conditions and identifying factors of inefficiency. The behavior of the flow of air and pulverized coal through the burners was analyzed, and the three-dimensional fluegas flow through the combustion chamber and heat exchangers was reproduced in the numeric simulation.
