ABSTRACT:
A process for the production of a gaseous mixture containing substantial amounts of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which comprises: (1) blending an oxidizing gas and a primary fuel within a combustion chamber having a combustion zone, which is substantially free of baffles, to produce a compressible gas or gas-like mixture; (2) causing the mixture to assume a highly turbulent compact and self-contained configuration by subjecting it to swirl, the swirling mixture having a swirl number greater than 0.5 and no greater than 1.5, and igniting the mixture when in this configuration to achieve total combustion of the primary fuel to produce hot gaseous products; and (3) thereafter mixing and reacting the hot gaseous products with a gas-like secondary fuel in the combustion chamber, wherein the secondary fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber adjacent to the wall thereof and in physical contact with the self-contained configuration, to produce a gaseous mixture containing substantial amounts of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
