Moving grate boilers are suitable for biomass combustion and used worldwide for domestic
heating applications. However, these boilers cause emission of harmful pollutants and …

This Review covers the current state-of-the-art literature dealing with numerical modeling
and experimental analysis of moving grate biomass combustors. The greatest attention is …

In the current study, a 3D numerical model for biomass combustion in a packed bed furnace
has been developed to study combustion of four types of biomass fuels (wood pellet, poplar …

For most commercial biomass gasifiers the cold gas efficiency makes up 50–70%. However,
thermodynamic modeling demonstrates the possibility of its increase to 80–85 …

A pilot downdraft gasifier is investigated experimentally using almond shell biomass as
feedstock. Experimental temperature profiles along the different zones of the gasifier are …

In the last few decades, global industrialization has increased the consumption of energy
enormously. Fossil fuels have been used as the main source of heat and power production …

Mathematical models are developed for the description of solid fuel conversion in fixed-bed
and entrained flow gasification reactors. The proposed models differ from the well-known …

Highlights Modeling of a cement rotary kiln with energy supplied by alternative fuels is
carried out. The quality of the cement obtained in both cases (biomass and tires) is studied …

A one-dimensional model of a downdraft biomass gasifier is presented to investigate the
effect of operating parameters on the performance of a power plant. The approach considers …

Experiments on the overfeed packed bed combustion and gasification of seven different
shapes of parallelepipedal wood particles are presented. Attention is focussed on the part of …
