Objective THE AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO PROMOTE THE USE OF COAL IN SMALL-SCALE PLANT, WHICH CURRENTLY USE RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE FUELS SUCH AS DOMESTIC FUEL OIL OR LPG. THE PROJECT SHOULD LEAD TO IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EXISTING TYPE OF STAGED-COMBUSTION BURNER . THE OPTIMIZATION PARAMETERS ARE AS FOLLOWS: - RAPID STABILIZATION OF FLAME WITHOUT BACK-UP FUEL; - SATISFACTORY COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY (97% OR MORE); - FLEXIBILITY OF OPERATION RANGE (1 TO 3 IF POSSIBLE) WITH MINIMUM ADJUSTEMENT; - SIMPLICITY AND SMOOTH MECHANICAL OPERATION. THE PROJECT WILL RESULT IN A THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE AUTO-STABILIZATION MECHANISMS IN BURNERS WITH A VIEW TO SIMPLE MODELLING OF THE INFLAMMATION AND STABILITY PHENOMENA, AND DEVISING A RATIONAL BURNER DESIGN PROCEDURE. THE FINDINGS CAN BE APPLIED IN SMALL-SCALE ATOMIZED-COAL BURNERS (3 TO 20 MW).
