Abstract

Underground coal gasification is an in-situ underground physical and chemical process which converts coal into combustible gases using injections of free or bound oxygen. The paper presents two dimensional nonstationary mathematical model of underground gas generator performance based on flux method. It takes into account physical, chemical and gas dynamic processes. Gas medium consists of the following gases: \(CH_4\), \(H_2\), CO, \(O_2\), \(H_2O\), \(N_2\). The research shows the numerical calculations of gas composition change inside the gas generator describing table values of brown and bituminous coal combustion products. abstract environment.

The study was conducted with the financial support of the internal grant of the Kemerovo University.
