Just what the name implies the burning of coal- as a fossil fuel, in powerhouses for example, or in old-time steam locomotives.
Yes, the combustion of coal (oxydation reaction) is an exothermic reaction, releasing heat.
The combustion of coal is a chemical change - an exothermic reaction between carbon and oxygen.
Yes, the combustion of coal (oxydation reaction) is an exothermic reaction, releasing heat.
NO ... all burning/combustion reactions are exothermic.

Complete combustion will result in the production of CO2 and H2O.

We can probably say the firebox of the boiler is where combustion takes place in a coal-fired power plant.A coal pulverizer feeds the coal into the firebox (burner or combustion chamber) along with forced air. The air-coal mix is ignited in the hot environment, and the heat rises to the coils in the upper part of the boiler. In the bottom of the combustion area we find the ash or slag collector.

The complete combustion of organic compounds produces Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Water (H2O), and a residue of any impurities which were present in the coal before combustion. Complete combustion requires a great surplus of molecular Oxygen to occur.
