Investigation of heterogeneous combustion and gasification of carbon and solid fuel (review)

A review of literature data is presented on experimental and theoretical investigations of carbon and solid-fuel gasification in various gas media at high temperatures (up to 1373 K). Methods of experimental and theoretical investigations are described. A theoretical formulation of the problem of nonstationary gasification of carbon is presented. The value of the real kinetic constant of carbon gasification by carbon dioxide is given.
