ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the combustion of individual solid fuel particles of coal and biomass. The fuel size ranges from –nely ground pulverized fuels the size of corn starch; to sawdust; to crushed, chipped, or shredded fuels; to sticks and logs. Investigation of the behavior of individual solid fuel particles provides insight into the design and performance of stoves, furnaces, and boilers, which are discussed in Chapters 15, 16, and 17.
