Solid Fuel Burner

摘要

A solid fuel/oxygen burner including an upstream section, an intermediary section, and a downstream section, a solid fuel conduit extending through the intermediary and downstream sections for transporting a mixture of solid fuel in a transport gas, the solid fuel conduit having a greater cross-sectional area in the downstream section than in the intermediary section, and a tubular fuel separator positioned within the solid fuel conduit in the downstream section, the fuel separator being bounded by an inlet plane and a outlet plane, the fuel separator dividing the fuel conduit into an inner nozzle having a cross-sectional area and an outer annular nozzle having a cross-sectional area, wherein the ratio of the outer nozzle cross-sectional area to the inner nozzle cross-sectional area measured at the outlet plane is greater than 1.
