In this study, the equilibrium behaviour of palmitic acid in supercritical water gasification was investigated, using the Gibbs minimum free energy employed within the HSC. The effects of concentration, temperature, and pressure on gas production were studied. The model predictions have been validated by comparing the results with published literature under identical conditions, and the agreement is generally satisfying.
