Full TextAbstract
In this paper, a thermochemical equilibrium model is used to predict the performance of a biomass downdraft gasifier. A satisfactory agreement between numerical and experimental results is obtained. The effects of moisture content, air/fuel ratio, air inlet temperature and steam/fuel ratio on cold gas efficiency, gasification temperature, and composition and calorific value of produced synthetic gas are investigated. Increasing the air inlet temperature is found to be the only way to increase the gas calorific value, while steam/fuel ratio plays a key rule in controlling the gasification temperature.
