A computational model to evaluate the anticipated performance characteristics of an updraft
fixed bed gasifier utilizing long stick wood as the source of fuel is presented. This type of …

Even though biomass gasification technology has come up in the past with impressive
applications, the exact details of the gasification process are yet to be completely …

We present results of an experimental study on long stick wood gasification, in an attempt to
reduce wood gathering for gasification. This paper presents the results from experiments …

Based on the experience of the gasifier users on the efforts and energy for wood chip
preparation in a typical gasifier, we have embarked on the development of a gasifier suitable …

Thermodynamic equilibrium models and a single-particle kinetic model have been
developed and applied to the gasification of biomass materials in a downdraft gasifier. Given …

This paper presents a one-dimensional steady state mathematical model for the simulation
of a small scale fixed-bed gasifier. The model is based on a set of differential equations …

A two-dimensional unsteady mathematical model was developed to simulate the
gasification/combustion process in the updraft fixed bed gasifier. The governing equations of …

CFD analysis is a useful tool that can be used to optimize the design of gasifiers. Although
plenty of CFD analysis has been performed on fluidized bed gasifiers, little analysis has …

An empirical stoichiometric equation has been developed for wood chip gasification in a
commercial-scale moving bed downdraft gasifier. The equation is based on an analysis of …

The future industrial development of biomass energy depends on the application of
renewable energy technology in an efficient manner. Of all the competing technologies …
