Abstract
Coal is still widely used as a source of energy and it is main solid fuel used for electricity production. The more abundant it is, the more useful it becomes. However, considering environmental factors, coal may not be the best option due to the products generated through its combustion. However, it is necessary to know the behavior of this fuel in front of the energy production processes to optimize them and minimize pollutants. The objective of this work is to present a model that has been developed in order to allow for the investigation of the kinetic parameters of combustion of coals and biomasses in a drop tube furnaces, which is an equipment capable of resembling actual combustion conditions.
