full-size entrained flow gasifier was simulated by CPFD(computational particle fluid dynamics) simulation method
and a gasification simulation model suitable for CPFD simulation was established. This validated the model and CPFD simulation used in entrained-flow gasification. The detailed reaction process and the probability distribution of particle residence time were obtained through CPFD simulation. The results show that both particle short-circuit and re-circulation exist in the gasifier using single burner at top. The short-circuit flow is mainly located at the central region of the gasifier. In addition
the particle reaction rate is very fast in the central region but relatively slow near the wall region. Besides
the first amount of particles flowing out of the gasifier mainly consists of the fully-reacted particles.
