Abstract: Taking advantage of the nonlinear dynamics characteristics and self-learning characteristics f artificial neural network, an artificial neural network model on correlation betaween the heterogeneous ignition temperatures of coal char particles and coals is presented and verified in this paper. The results show that the model can predict heterogeneous ignition temperatures of coal char particles bassed on the values of coal proximate analysis accurately.

Key words: coal char, ignition temperature, artificial neural network
