This paper has postulated an optimum temperature-time profile in a gasifier that will allow gasification of caking coals at high throughput rates without stirring. The optimum profile is defined by a simple engineering model. The results of these experiments confirmed the predictions of the model, which now can be used to predict the onset of coal agglomeration during gasification. 11 refs.
