    Numerical Simulation of Coal Gasification in Entrained Flow Gasifiers With CoalFoam

    Uploaded by

    The document describes numerical simulations of coal gasification in entrained flow gasifiers using the coalFoam solver package. It provides an overview of the research project HotVeGas which aims to simulate a large scale coal gasifier. Preliminary results are shown for test cases including a tube reactor demonstrating evaporation and devolatilization, a dual inlet case testing transport equations, and initial work on a 3D gasifier case. Future work includes further developing and validating the coalFoam model as well as modeling the influence of mineral matter.

    Introduction
    Scope: Numerical simulation of an industrial coal gasier with respect to the inuence of mineral matter What is gasication? Gasication is a thermo-chemical process that converts carbonaceous materials (e.g. coal, biomass) into a combustible gas, yielding mainly CO and H2 . Typical conditions: 10001500 C, 30 bar, < 1, O2 , CO2 , H2 O as gasifying agents Why gasication? Gaseous fuels are better to handle than solid ones Syngas may be burned in combined cycles for power production, used to produce methanol and hydrogen or converted via the Fischer-Tropsch process into synthetic fuel
