CFD Modeling of an Entrained Flow Gasifier

Article Preview

Abstract:

A 2 D CFD model was established to simulate sawdust gasification in an entrained flow gasifier using Ansys Fluent software. Syngas composition, syngas yield and syngas LHV were evaluated. The simulated syngas compositions were in agreement with the experiment results. The relative errors of syngas yield and LHV varied in the ranges of 2-15% and 1-9%, respectively. The results showed that the numerical model established in this study can be applied to simulate biomass gasification in entrained flow gasifier.
