Combined slag flow model for entrained flow gasification

A slag flow and heat transfer model coupled with a particle capture sub-model and 3-D gasifier model was developed to describe the slag characteristics and gasification process in entrained flow gasifier. A criterion for particle capture was used to evaluate the interaction of particles colliding with the wall. Two kinds of gasifiers were simulated using the developed model: the membrane wall gasifier and the refractory wall gasifier. The model...
