Study for entrained-flow gasifier modeling and measurement

Abstract

The syngas composition change during the measurement process was analyzed using a detailed gas phase reaction mechanism. Results showed that the measurement error induced by the temperature and pressure change in the measurement process cannot be ignored. Based on the results, suggestions were proposed for syngas concentration measurement and temperature measurement.
