Modeling pulverized coal conversion in entrained flows

Abstract

Abstract A detailed description of pulverized coal conversion in one‐dimensional entrained flows has been formulated and correlated to hydrogasification data from the Rockwell International Flash Hydropyrolysis (FHP) reactor using bituminous coals. This analysis contains physical and chemical descriptions which have not been included in previous mathematical models. These descriptions provide further important insights into the nature of entrained flow coal gasification.
