On the basis of the Bernoulli equation the dependence for determining the air flow rate in the oxidation zone of the gasifier was obtained. The obtained dependence makes it possible to theoretically establish the average speed and diameter of the air flow depending on the flow length. To check and clarify the obtained dependence for determining the air flow rate in the oxidation zone, the value of the total loss coefficient of the air flow rate in the volume of straw pellets, which are used as fuel for the gasifier, is experimentally established.
