CFD modeling of oxy-coal combustion: Prediction of burnout, volatile and NO precursors release

► Experimental and numerical study of oxy-fuel combustion behaviour was performed. ► Coal burnout and NO emissions were predicted for coals of different rank. ► Combustion experiments were carried out in an entrained flow reactor at 1273 K. ► FG-DVC code was used to estimate devolatilisation kinetics and HCN/NH3 evolution.
