Hi all, I have experience on working with a down draft open top suction type biomass gasifier and down draft closed top forced biomass gasifier. What my personal experience is that if the biomass gasifier can be modelled in a 3D way in computer, that would have been of great help for experimenting with various self defined parametrs and just check how it is going to behave. For that I want to use a particular type of software that has the flexibility of having all that happens in a gasifier. Can you please suggest me a strong SOFTWARE with which I should go ahead. Let me put some name which I could found in net. 1. Ansys CFX 2. Ansys Fluent 3. COMSOL Multiphysics
Which one u think is the strongest ....or do u suggest anything new.... Looking forward A newbie (highly interested)in biomass gasifier thanks in advance Utpal ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 16 Dec 2010 01:30:02 +0530 (IST) Subject: Gasification Digest, Vol 54, Issue 11 Send Gasification mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://listserv.repp.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_listserv.repp.org or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Gasification digest..."

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. Many thanks, Robert Kana, Pt.
