Mathematical modeling in the kinetics of coal gasification

Includes bibliographical references (pages 29-30)Mathematical modeling is developed for the gasification of coal. The coal char reaction with steam and hydrogen are treated as two simultaneous reactions taking place at 1800??F-1400??F and 30-70 atm.. The model can estimate the gas composition of product and the reactor size at different levels of carbon conversion in a moving-bed reactor. However, at high temperature more steam was consumed, with more methane product as the temperature is raised
