Combustion characteristics of high ash Indian coal, wheat straw, wheat husk and their blends
This work presents the combustion studies of high ash coal, wheat straw (WS), wheat husk (WH) and their blends to enhance the combustion performance of high ash coal. Coal, WS and WH were characterized by proximate analysis, ultimate analysis and gross calorific value (GCV) determination. Combustion...
