Fundamentals of Gasification Kinetics: Development of Carbonaceous Chemistry for Computational Modeling |
Project ID: |
FY10.CBS.1610238.675 |
| Objective: |
The objective of this project is to develop Carbonaceous Chemistry for Computational Modeling (C3M), a kinetic database and graphical user interface (GUI), with the ability to interface to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models (e.g., MIFX, FLUENT, Barracuda, and ASPEN), and function in a stand-alone mode for virtual kinetic experiments. The development of C3M will allow modelers to conduct virtual experiments for a wide range of fuels (coal and biomass) and operating conditions. In addition, C3M will allow modelers to extract kinetic rates, yields for devolatization and tar cracking steps from leading kinetic databases and models. The desired kinetic output will be automatically updated into a specified computational model. |
