Stoichiometric Equilibrium Modelling of a Gasifying Process

Abstract

Thermochemical conversion is used to produce energy without harming the environment and the process
which are involved is like gasification, combustion, and pyrolysis. Thermochemical equilibrium modeling is one of the
most important numerical method, used to predict the performance of a gasifier. To validate the model, numerical and
experimental results are nearest to same. This model is used to optimize the selection procedure of a specific feedstock
for a certain application. Gasification is a process in this a carbon containing feedstock is thermochemically
converted into syngas comprising hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). The production of syngas using
gasification is a complex process that depends on several factors including (1) the composition of feedstock (2) the
gasifier conditions (3) pressure and temperature. Syngas characteristics are depend on syngas calorific value,
gasification efficiency, outlet gas temperature, and the volume of syngas obtained. The composition of the producer
gas also determined the calorific value. The calorific value of the producer gas is generally depend on moisture
content and outlet gasification temperature.
