Abstract
In this study, in order to raise the accuracy of gaseous combustion simulation in a stoker type incinerator which is used widely and to comprehend the characteristics of primary combustion, especially waste combustion, the model (waste combustion model) which imitates the combustion process in a waste layer was developed, and experiments of gas concentration and temperature measurement near the waste layer were conducted in the real incinerator for the purpose of the basic data collection for this model verification. The waste combustion model enables to predict the mixing process of waste and mass reduction process by the vaporization of moisture, emissions of volatile matter, and reactions of fixed carbon. Also, the characteristics of waste combustion at the drying stage and burn-out stage were clarified in the experiments.
