Mathematical simulation of the reaction zone of a Shell-Prenflo gasifier with the use of the models of sequential equilibrium

Аннотация

A mathematical model was proposed for the process design of coal dust gasification in a steam–oxygen carrier gas flow (the Shell-Prenflo process). The model takes into account the main thermophysical processes of fuel conversion and makes it possible to predict the distributions of temperature and gas composition along the length of an apparatus. The results of the simulation were compared with published data.
