Computer modeling of coal-gasification reactors. Volume I. Executive summary. Final report, June 1975-November 1980

This report summarizes the five-year effort to study the computer modeling of coal gasification reactors. General computer models have been developed to simulate fluidized bed and entrained flow coal gasification reactors. Subsequently, they have been used to simulate actual reactor environments and the resulting compared with the experimental data. This report contains four volumes. Volume I is an executive summary. Volume II is a technical report describing the formulations and the applications of the computer models. Volume III and IV are User's Manuals for, respectively, the fluidized bed model and the entrained flow model.
