A simulation on the flue gas flow between the economizer tube bundles was performed using the k-ε two-equation model in the CFD software. The particle motion between the bundles was examined by the Lagrangian method and the particle motion after collision with the wall was investigated using the collision and bounce model for the situations of atmospheric air combustion and pressurized oxy-fuel combustion. By comparing three wear models
it is found that model Oka is relatively more comprehensive and more consistent with the experimental data. According to the model
the amount of wall erosion changes exponentially with an increase in the flow rate
and it increases first and then decreases with the increase in the incidence angle. The erosion decreases with an increase in the hardness of the wall
and it increases slightly with the particle size. Under pressurized oxy-fuel combustion
the maximum erosion rate is much lower than that under atmospheric condition
the position of the maximum erosion changes and the particle impact and erosion rate distributes more uniform on each tube row. The single-tube maximum erosion area is located near 60 degrees of the wall on both sides of the windward-order except the first row. These results are of significance for the economizer design and operation under pressurized oxy-fuel combustion.
