Project description
In this research work, numerical modeling will be done of a complete plasma gasification process, using the test facility at the Institute of Plasma Physics in Prague for validation purposes.
The goal is to build a solid process control of the plasma gasification process. Besides enhancing the efficiency of the process, the work is also aimed at optimization of the reactor design.
