Dissertation/Thesis Tesis de la Universidad de Zaragoza Pallarés Ranz, Javier Arauzo Pelet, Inmaculada Unburned carbon in ash prediction in pulverized coal utility boilers. Analysis and assessment of operation strategies. The predictive system developed in this Thesis has the same structure as the so-called combustion kinetics models, however, it obtains the fluid and thermal description through CFD simulations. To solve the handicap of the high computational cost needed to run a CFD simulation, a neural network system is used to reproduce the solutions given by the CFD code. Moreover, a neural network system permits to interpolate in the range of variation used during the training stage, and thus, a predictive system covering the whole operational range of the plant is obtained. eng Unburned carbon; Coal combustion modelling; CFD; Neural networks ; Universidad de Zaragoza Zaragoza 2008 2008
