Abstract
A non-isothermal transient model has been developed to simulate the reduction process
and thermal behaviors of a porous wustite pellet undergoing chemical reactions with a
mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapor and carbon dioxide which is
commonly named Syngas. The model describes the chemical reaction itself, the mass
balance for each gaseous species and the energy equation within the pellet. For solution of
the governing equations, a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) ...
