This document summarizes research accomplishments of a thirty month, second phase study of mixing and kinetic processes in an entrained coal gasifier. Principal objectives were to measure the extent of particle reaction and dispersion, the extent of gas mixing, the local product composition, and the extent, of pollutant formation. Additional objectives included the completion of the one-dimensional computerized model for describing entrained coal gasification systems and the use of that model in analyzing the gasification processes, and extension of the coal reaction model to two-dimensional systems. Non-reactive mixing tests were to be completed to quantify gas and particle mixing rates independent of chemical reaction. Contacts with industrial and governmental organizations were to be continued and reports end papers were to be prepared in order to transfer the research results to the technical community.
