A multiphase CFD-DEM model was built to simulate the waste-to-energy gasifying and direct melting furnace in a pilot demonstration facility. The characterizations of feedstocks, waste pyrolysis kinetics, and charcoal combustion kinetics were first obtained in the laboratory and used as model inputs....
