Abstract (EN): A two dimensional CFD model for MSW gasification has been used to predict and analyze the viability of the hydrogen generation from MSW gasification. The model is based in an Eulerian-Eulerian approach to describe the transport of mass, momentum and energy for the solid and gas phases. The model is applied to a fluidized bed gasifier to full predict and analyze the viability of the hydrogen generation from MSW gasification taking into account the equivalence ratio and steam-to-waste ratio. Conclusion could be drawn that the increase of equivalence ratio has a negative effect on hydrogen production because the oxidation reactions are favored. The introduction of steam to MSW gasification is favorable for improving hydrogen yield, because it increases the partial pressure of steam inside the reactor which favors the gas-phase reactions.
