  4. Abstract:
  5. The aim of this study is to assess the influence of oxygen-to-steam ratio, wall boundary conditions, coal feeding rate, and static bed height on the concentrations, heating values, and efficiencies of the product gas in a tapered fluidized bed reactor. Results show that lower and higher heating values slightly vary with increasing the oxygen-to-steam ratio in the range of 0.25–0.35. It is found that cold gas efficiency and carbon conversion efficiency goes up with increased ratio of oxygen to steam; however, both efficiencies decline as a result of increasing the coal feeding rate. As static bed height rises, lower and higher heating values diminish for tapered angle of 5°. For tapered angle of 5°, slight changes in concentrations of the product gas are observed with the increased coal feeding rate while the gas concentrations remarkably vary for the tapered angle of 9°. © 2021 Elsevier B.V
