Mathematicla modeling of MSW incineration on a travelling bed

摘要

The rising popularity of incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW) calls for detailed mathematical modelling and under- standing of the incineration process. In this paper, governing equations for mass, momentum and heat transfer for both solid and gaseous phases in a moving bed in a solid-waste incineration furnace are described and relevant sub-models are presented. The burning rates of volatile hydrocarbons in the moving bed of solids are limited not only by the reaction kinetics but also the mixing of the volatile fuels with the under-fire air.
