Motivation

High-pressure entrained flow gasification is an efficient technology for the conversion of low-quality carbonaceous feedstocks (such as biomass, plastic waste or tire waste) into high-quality synthesis gas, which can be used for the production of renewable liquid fuels and chemicals in a circular economy. For improved predictions of synthesis gas compositions, we would like to advance global gas-phase reaction kinetics using plug-flow reactor and continuous stirred-tank reactor simulations. In addition, we would like to test the improved gas-phase reaction kinetics using CFD simulations.

Possible tasks

- Literature study
- Development of improved global gas-phase reaction kinetics
- Implementation of improved global global gas-phase reaction kinetics into CFD models
- CFD simulations of test cases
- Validation of CFD models with experimental data
- Documentation
