Model for the Underground Coal Gasification

Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is the process of in-situ conversion of coal into combustible products (syngas) which can be used either as fuel or as a chemical feedstock. In this study, the gasification channel is viewed as a one-dimensional packed bed reactor. The packed bed reactor model is solved incorporating chemical reactions and mass transfer effects. A pseudo-transient model is simulated for temperature and composition profiles of the gas and solid phases. The movements of the pyrolysis and the reaction front are obtained.
