Good afternoon ,
Would this be a good argument of showing efficiency of gasification? Any
suggestions?
Here are my assumptions:
-Size of System: 20kW (for first trial)
-Daily Hours of Operation: 21
-Thermal Energy of SynGas: 1.476 kW-hr/m3
-Thermal Energy of Diesel: 10,563 kW-hr/m3
-Generator Efficiency: 35%
-The energy input to the generator from diesel is 10% of the energy
input from SynGas
The daily SynGas requirement is therefore 813m3/day based on: (20kW * 21
hours) / (1.476 kW-hr/m3 * 35%) = 813m3.
Therefore the total SynGas energy input to the generator is 813m3 x
1.476 kW-hr/m3 = 1200 kW-hr. Thus, the diesel energy input is 120 KW-hr
(10% of 1200 kW-hr).
To create 120kW-hr from diesel only requires 120 kW-hr/10,563 kW-hr/m3 =
.01136m3 diesel. So, about 11.36 liters of diesel are needed daily.
