Numerical Simulation of Entrained Flow Gasification with Focus on Char Reaction Kinetics

234 Seiten, Dissertation Technische Universität München (2019), Softcover, A5

Zusammenfassung / Abstract

Motivated by the increasing worldwide gasification capacity, this dissertation examines the conversion of pulverized solid fuels in entrained flow reactors using numerical simulations, focusing on the detailed modeling of char reaction kinetics including char structure evolution at high temperatures and pressures. The presented results enable the fuel-specific design and optimization of entrained flow gasifiers by means of computational fluid dynamics simulations, and contribute to a better understanding of the reaction processes.
