Abstract
⺠A mathematical model of an open-core downdraft gasifier for wood is developed. ⺠Dual air entry is simulated: primary air (top) and secondary air (inside the bed). ⺠The reaction front structure varies with percentage and position of secondary air. ⺠Char and tar conversion is improved by dual air distribution. ⺠Good quantitative agreement is obtained between predictions and measurements.
