摘要：For the modelling of gasification processes, several models have been developed over the years. It is remarked that gasification calculation models of very high complexity entail some complications. Therefore, simpler mathematical representations of gasification characteristics and process behavior are required as a first step in addressing such systems. The preliminary calculation simplicity is needed form two perspectives: First – the pre-sizing of gasification installations, and second – the estimation of experimental or functional results. For this kind of topics, an adequate simplified model should be defined. Further, to validate the results it will be necessary to use complex calculation models. The model proposed in this paper addresses gasification with distributive air in the air distribution current, considering general concurrent flow of air fuel. Previous successful investigations, conducted by the present research team, are taken into account within model definition stages. Thus, the work presented here provides useful advances in the field of mathematical modeling of gasification processes. The originality of the model consists in its easy computational accessibility, which allows the approach of technological optimizations, such as the variation of excess air and fuel composition.
