MODELING OF THE PYROLYSIS PROCESS OF COAL PARTICLES G. Ya. Gerasimov UDC 532.5:662.61 A mathematical model of pyrolysis of coal particles is developed that takes into account the heat transfer of a particle with the surrounding medium, the kinetics of release of volatile components, the secondary reactions of cracking, and the depositions of tar in its motion in the particle pores. Calculated results are compared to available experimental data. JEPTER7492019998 JEPTER749208
