Paper Details

Biomass is the clean energy source which is indirectly solar energy form. Biomass gasification is the ecofriendly and alike clean technology for recent which convert solid biomass into gaseous fuel (CH4, CO2, H2 etc.).Biomass energy conversion combined with computation fluid dynamics (CFD) software has been delineated in some detail within the followingreview paper. Biomass gasification involves complicated reaction pathways, reactive gasparticle behavior, and comminution of solid biomass particles. modeling and simulation as CFD (computational fluid dynamics) are playing important role in our study and analysis because of CFD gives insight into flow pattern that isdifficult, expensive or impossible to study using EFD (Experimental fluid dynamics). Various type of biomass gasification models thermodynamic equilibrium, kinetic and artificial neural network etc. shows and analyzed in this paper. A CFD software package is used for the basic computational model. Advanced computer visualization techniques are used to observe the fluid flow pattern and reduction of solid biomass particles in the gasifier. The effects of gasifier configuration, temperature, steam/biomass ratio, and biomass/bed material ratio, biomass loading rate and yield biomass particle size and composition of syngas are analyzed by use of the CFD model.
