TY - JOUR TI - A numerical model for chemical reaction on slag layer surface and slag layer behavior in entrained-flow gasifier AU - Liu Sheng AU - Tao Mingchun AU - Hao Yingli JN - Thermal Science PY - 2013 VL - 17 IS - 5 SP - 1389 EP - 1394 PT - Article AB - The paper concerns with slag layer accumulation, chemical reaction on slag layer surface, and slag layer flow, heat and mass transfer on the wall of entrained-flow coal gasifier. A slag layer model is developed to simulate slag layer behaviors in the coal gasifier. This 3-D model can predict temperature, slag particle disposition rate, disposition particle composition, and syngas distribution in the gasifier hearth. The model is used to evaluate the effects of O2/coal ratio on slag layer behaviors.
