Abstract

To lessen the dependence of energy generation using coal or fossil fuels, biomass gasification reactor could play a significant role fulfilling the increased energy demand worldwide. This research investigates the horizontal biomass gasifier using ANSYS CFX software. The CAD model of biomass gasification reactor is developed in Creo 2.0. The numerical method used for analysis is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The CFD analysis is conducted using different turbulent models namely k-epsilon, RNG k-epsilon and k-omega. The temperature plot and static enthalpy are generated from CFD simulation.
