Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

A procedure of mathematical modeling of the characteristics of gasification of a low-melting hydrocarbon material in the flow of a heated inert gas has been proposed which is based on solving the problem of coupled heat transfer in the gas in the channel and in the region occupied by the solid hydrocarbon material. Dependences of the shape of the boundaries of the solid material on the temperature of a carrier gas and on time have been obtained. Calculation results are compared with experimental results.
