  4. 3. Modeling and exergoeconomic analysis of biomass gasification in a downdraft gasifier

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Santiago Rabell Ferran; [2013]
    Keywords : Biomass; Cogeneration; Downdraft gasification; Exergoeconomic analysis; Modelling;

    Abstract : In this work it is presented an equilibrium model, capable to predict the composition of the generated gas, its Lower Heating Value (LHV), the gasification efficiency, the ratio air/biomass and the  ratio gas/biomass in a downdraft gasifier. The model describes the influence of  the moisture content of the biomass and the gasification temperatures on the composition and properties of the produced gases, like the low heating value (LHV).
