Computational study on the effect of temperature in fluidized bed gasifier

Fluidized bed gasifier which is excellent in temperature control was selected to be modelled in ANSYS FLUENT. Temperature is one of the important hydrodynamic parameter in developing the large-scale industrial power plant. Study will be emphasized on three different temperatures where each of them w...

description Fluidized bed gasifier which is excellent in temperature control was selected to be modelled in ANSYS FLUENT. Temperature is one of the important hydrodynamic parameter in developing the large-scale industrial power plant.
