      Timsina, Ramesh; Thapa, Rajan Kumar; Moldestad, Britt Margrethe Emilie; Eikeland, Marianne Sørflaten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      An Entrained flow gasification reactor is studied in this work. Entrained flow reactors are best suited for a feed with small particles at large capacity, at high temperatures, pressures and with short residence time. This ...

    • Simulation of Simplified Model for Reaction Kinetics in Biomass Gasification 

      Agu, Cornelius Emeka; Thapa, Rajan Kumar; Halvorsen, Britt (Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)
      Due to complexity in interactions between solid particles and between particles and carrier fluid, modeling of biomass gasification kinetics has been shown to be very challenging. Some commercial packages such as Barracuda ...

    • Stepwise Analysis Of Gasification Reactions With Aspen Plus And Cpfd 

      Eikeland, Marianne Sørflaten; Thapa, Rajan Kumar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The energy from biomass can be utilized through the thermochemical conversion processes of pyrolysis and gasification. Biomass such as wood chips is heated in a gasification reactor to produce a synthesis gas containing ...

    • Study of agglomeration in fluidized bed gasification of biomass using CPFD simulations 

      Furuvik, Nora Cecilie Ivarsdatter; Jaiswal, Rajan; Thapa, Rajan Kumar; Moldestad, Britt Margrethe Emilie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Fluidized beds have been widely applied for the gasification of biomass. However, at high temperatures ash melting and subsequently bed agglomeration may occur. When biomass is used for thermal conversion processes, inorganic ...

    • Study of agricultural waste gasification in an air-blown bubbling fluidized bed using a CPFD model 

      Jaiswal, Rajan; Thapa, Rajan Kumar; Moldestad, Britt Margrethe Emilie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Gasification using a fluidized bed is a promising technology to convert agricultural residues into product gases. In this work, the syngas production potential from agricultural waste (grass pellets) is studied using ...
