Mathematical Model of Biomass Product Using Gasification Reactor

Authors

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to design a new mathematical model biomass product with the help of the gasification reactor. This design will help in describing most of the internal parameters inside this process. This research also aims to study and analyze the kinetic reaction, mass and heat transfer for four zones of the gasification reactor. It has been found that the char concentration from zone one is almost 42% consumption and from zone three to four, the consumptions have found to be 72.06%. It means that the char conversion depends on oxygen consumptions in all zones to produce volatility gases, methane, and hydrogen. The mathematical model will help in optimizing best possible conditions so as to give a high quality product of methane and hydrogen to 2.2 kmol/m3 and 3 Kmol/m3 respectively. Thus, it appears to be important that important parameters of a chemical reaction are studied. Furthermore, all thermodynamic parameters of the reaction must be analyzed so as to optimize the best conditions through gasification reactor.

Biomass Gasification

Modern agriculture is an extremely energy intensive process. However high agricultural productivities and subsequently the growth of green revolution has been made possible only by large amount of energy inputs, especially those from fossil fuels. With recent price rise and scarcity of these fuels there has been a trend towards use of alternative energy sources like solar, wind, geothermal etc....

Biomass Gasification using Solar Thermal Energy

Hydrogen from Biomass as an energy carrier has generated increasing interest in recent years. There are several different technologies to convert solid or liquid Biomass into a gas mix consisting of mainly hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Up to 30% of the energy stored in the product gas would originate from the sun by using solar thermal applications to source the conversion while the equivalent o...

Gasification-based Biomass

The conversion of biomass to a lowor medium-heating-value gaseous fuel (biomass gasification) generally involves two processes. The first process, pyrolysis, releases the volatile components of the fuel at temperatures below 600°C (1,112°F) via a set of complex reactions. Included in these volatile vapors are hydrocarbon gases, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, tars, and water vapor. B...

Simulation of biomass gasification with a hybrid neural network model.

Gasification of several types of biomass has been conducted in a fluidized bed gasifier at atmospheric pressure with steam as the fluidizing medium. In order to obtain the gasification profiles for each type of biomass, an artificial neural network model has been developed to simulate this gasification processes. Model-predicted gas production rates in this biomass gasification processes were c...
