Popis: A transport model has been developed for the devolatilization of large nonplastic coal particles taking into consideration heat and mass transport phenomena along with first-order kinetics for the pyrolysis reaction. The model considers the multicomponent system of volatiles. A numerical solution is obtained for a particular case of a three-component system involving hydrogen, tar, and ''gas'' comprising CO, CO/sub 2/, H/sub 2/O, CH/sub 4/, etc. The tar is assumed to undergo secondary reactions in the pores of the particle as it escapes. The effect of temperature, pressure, and particle size on the extent of secondary reaction, devolatilization time, and volatile yield is examined.
