Measurements of fly ash deposition in a 15 kW pulverized coal jet flame and CFD-based mathematical modeling have been performed. The deposits have been collected at two ports at particle Stokes numbers in the 0.02–0.34 range and particle kinetic energies not larger than 1193X&_mathId=si62.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S001623611501193X&_rdoc=1&_issn=00162361&md5=68806778bc8a936b34f40aaea227edd8" title="Click to view the MathML source">2×10-9 J. Inertial impaction and thermophoresis have been identified as main mechanisms of particle transport towards the deposition surfaces.

Complex dependencies of the deposition rate on the probe surface temperature and the probe location have been observed. The CFD-model predictions are able to reproduce these dependencies after adjustments to the particle sticking sub-model. The paper contains estimations of both the impaction and sticking efficiencies.
