A biocoalbriquette, a new artificial solid fuel, is manufactured by a mixture of coal and biomass under a high-compression pressure. The combustion characteristics of biocoalbriquettes were investigated in this study experimentally and numerically. The combustion process of biocoalbriquettes appears in two stages: the volatile combustion stage followed by the char combustion stage. it was found that the volatile combustion happens over the whole pellet of biocoalbriquette, whereas the char combustion proceeds in a shrinking-core mode. A volume model and a shrinking-core reaction model were introduced and modified here to simulate the two stages of combustion process. The simulation results are found to be consistent with the experimental results.
