Abstract
A detailed mathematical model is used to predict local and effluent properties within an axisymmetric, entrained‐flow gasifier. Laboratory experiments were conducted to provide local properties for four coal types from a gasifier operating at near‐atmospheric pressure. Effects of selected model parameters and test variables were examined and compared with measurements in most cases. The comparison of predictions and measurements provides the first evaluation of capabilities and limitations of a comprehensive model for entrained‐flow gasifiers.Keywords
