Different combustion reaction process models were used to numerically study the behavior of the temperature, velocity, and turbulence fields, as well as to gain a better understanding of the differences between the reaction products obtained with each model. Transient-state simulations were conducted for a gasifier under specific operating conditions. The standard K-epsilon (2eq) turbulence model was utilized, along with the incorporation of species transport, volumetric responses, and eddy dissipation. In this study, the impacts of one-, two-, and four-step reaction mechanisms on the mass fraction of the products of the reactions, as well as the maximum values of velocity, turbulence, and temperature, were examined. The findings demonstrated that for all mechanisms, the greater maximum values of velocity and turbulence are attained at early time steps and decrease with subsequent time steps. The temperature rises as much in the early time steps and nearly stays the same in the late time steps. In all situations examined, the species’ fraction mass varies slightly in the early time steps but becomes nearly constant in the latter time stages. Similar species mass fraction values were found for both one-step and four-step methods. The results also suggest that the lower half of the gasifier is where the highest mass fraction values are found. |
