Abstract
An one-dimensional mathematical model for describing the fluidization and t he gasification reactions of wood in a circulating fluidized bed combustor has been developed. The mathematical model consists of modules to calculate the fluiddynamic parameters, the kinetics of the gasification reactions an d the temperature in the CFBC. It is shown that in the pilot plant measured pressure drop and the temperatures correspond very well with the calculati on.
