This paper focuses on coal gasification, including hard coals and brown coals, in air and steam media, considering different efficiency criteria for gasification processes: cold gas efficiency, energy efficiency that takes into account the heat of the gasification agent, and exergy efficiency that considers the chemical, thermal, and mechanical energy of reactants and products. The dependence of these efficiency criteria on stoichiometric ratios and air temperature is demonstrated, and the applicability of these criteria in power plant analysis is discussed.}, number={2}, publisher={Uluslararası Uygulamalı Termodinamik Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi}, organization={Melentiev Energy Systems Institute}
