Coalfired boilers are mainly operated at either subcritical or supercritical conditions. From a thermophysics perspective, two phase mixtures of water and steam are replaced by a single supercritical fluid when the boiler pressure increases above the critical pressure of MPa and the corresponding saturation temperature of 374 °C (Shen and Cheng, 2004).

Coal Combustion Processes . In the CFD model, the coal combustion process consists of inert heating and drying, devolatilization, volatile combustion, and char combustion, and each step is performed sequentially. In the boiler, coal particles are transported via air into the furnace and heated when exposed to a hightemperature environment.
Coalfired boilers can be classified by type, fuel, and method of construction.

Coal combustion products ( CCP 's) are the inorganic residues that remain after pulverized coal is burned. Coarse particles (bottom ash and boiler slag) settle to the bottom of the combustion chamber), and the fine portion (fly ash, fig. 1) is removed from the flue gas by electrostatic precipitators or other gasscrubbing systems.

The working principle of a coalfired boiler is as follows: coal is fed into the furnace in the boiler and ignited by an igniter to produce hightemperature flames and flue gases. The flame and flue gas flow inside the boiler and transfer heat with the watercooled tube wall, causing the water temperature to rise.
