Abstract
With depletion of fossil fuels, the biomass can be used as an alternative source of energy which is efficient and aides in proper utilization of waste. The energy from biomass can be extracted using biomass gasification reactor. The recent research uses CFD to analyse the thermal performance of a horizontal biomass gasification reactor. The biomass gasification reactor CAD model is analysed using ANSYS CFX and developed in software of Creo design. The temperature, enthalpy and mass fraction are determined. The analysis is conducted using model of eddy dissipation and finite rate chemistry. Results have shown significant difference in enthalpy generation and temperature with the use of different combustion models.
