Abstract
AbstractAn opposed multi‐burner (OMB) entrained‐flow gasifier with coal water slurry feeding is developed by the East China University of Science and Technology. A 3D model is employed to numerically simulate the gas flow field, motion of char particles, and distributions of temperature and gaseous components in an OMB gasifier and in a conceptual two‐stage gasifier modified from the OMB gasifier (TS‐OMB gasifier). Results show that the TS‐OMB gasifier produces higher concentration and productivity of the effective gases (CO+H2) with a slightly higher carbon conversion than the OMB gasifier. The reasons for the differences between these two types of gasifier are discussed by means of numerical simulation. This information is valuable for guiding the design of an advanced OMB gasifier.
