DESCRIPTION:
Includes step-by-step design procedures and case studies for Biomass GasificationProvides worked process flow diagrams for gasifier design. After fossil fuels, biomass is the most widely used fuel in the world. Biomass resources show a considerable potential in the long term if residues are properly handled and dedicated energy crops are grown. This versatile resource not only explains the basic principles of energy conversion systems, but also provides valuable insight into the design of biomass gasifiers. Covers integration with other technologies (e.g. This book offers comprehensive coverage of the design, analysis, and operational aspects of biomass gasification, the key technology enabling the production of biofuels from all viable sources--some examples being sugar cane and switchgrass. gas turbine, engine, fuel cells). The author provides many worked out design problems, step-by-step design procedures and real data on
excellent, deep explanation this book provides deep theory, from biomass itself until its application in thermal conversion. but not enough example of calculation; no information how to calculate required air, steam and other basic calculations
