The combustion of nonvolatile fuels including metals, carbon char, and soot is presented. For metals, the criteria for vapor phase versus heterogeneous combustion are discussed. Thermodynamic analyses of metal oxidizer systems are performed with attention given to the effects of pressure and oxidizer composition. The analyses are then extended to the combustion synthesis of materials. Particle combustion of nonvolatile fuels is discussed, particularly with regard to size and the burning limits of diffusion and kinetic control. Specific examples include boron and carbon combustion. Finally, the combustion of coal, including devolatilization and char combustion, is explained along with gasification and oxy-combustion. |
