Abstract

The latest information technologies and 3D computer modeling methods were used to introduce new technology of plasma fuel ignition and stabilization of combustion processes. Numerical studies of the physicochemical processes occurring during the combustion of pulverized coal fuel flows in areas of real geometry (combustion chambers of thermal power plants) have been carried out. The main regularities of the influence of thermochemical plasma activation of pulverized coal flows on the process of fuel combustion in the combustion chambers of Kazakhstan boilers have been established. The conducted studies of the systems of thermochemical plasma activation of pulverized coal flows have shown the possibility and efficiency of their application at real thermal power facilities. This makes possible to solve both: economic problems (reducing the consumption of fuel oil) and environmental problems (reducing harmful dust and gas emissions from the combustion of low-grade coal fuels from Kazakhstan deposits). This will optimize the processes that occur during the combustion of energy fuel, reduce emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere (carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides), create and implement in the future a new way to produce "clean" energy.
