Experiments were carried out with a household up-draft biomass gasification stove to
investigate effects of the air distribution method on the performance of the stove. The …

In many of the developing countries including Sub-Saharan Africa, most of the improved
cook stoves were designed by considering only wood fuel, and as such are not suitable for …

The present study investigates the combustion process of the producer gas from a gasifier
cookstove, for four solid biomass fuels: wood pellets (WP), wheat straw (WS), sheep manure …

The present work is an attempt to study the thermal behaviour of an existing 5 kWe
downdraft biomass gasifier (DBG) unit with different equivalence ratios (ER). Karanj wood …

The cracking of tar from rice husk pyrolysis is examined using tar reaction conditions similar
to gasification and combustion because of the practical importance of tar cracking in the …

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 …

For decades and even today (though comparatively less), many people from rural India
continue to use traditional cook stoves to satisfy their daily cooking needs [S. Kohli, in “New …

The current article presents experimental results of the operation of top-lit updraft (TLUD)
gasifier cookstove. The independent variables for the experiments are secondary airflow …

Use of loose biomass in the conventional downdraft gasifier, designed to operate with wood
chips, is a challenging task due to the clogging of the biomass at the throat of the gasifier …

This study focused on the design and testing of a downdraft gasifier. The gasifier design was
based on a combination of the Imbert and stratified models with some modifications. Sizing …
