[Stoves] Performance analysis of a top lit updraft (TLUD) gasifier stove, operated with respect to fuel characteristics of multiple types of biomass feedstock

Dear Ron the Observant

I didn't think there was an attachment. It was a link to the portal where the abstract can be seen and where one can request the full text.

Stand by while I try to source a publicly accessible copy. If that turns out to be unavailable it will be available through the journal. Until I see that, I can't post a copy on my website.

The relevance of Riaz's work to the list is he is using various fuels‎ to determine the effect of various parameters on the gas composition. I have posted photos of his first gasifier to this group (I think) and I saw his new one in November at the lab.

As you will see, Dr P Ramen from TERI in India has joined as an advisor. He is very knowledgeable on many matters‎ of detail.

I would like to see a suitable set of metrics agreed for the reporting of char production. In the paper there is one which I guess we can call a candidate. The charcoal industry has some that may be most relevant.

Crispin

Hi, Crispin,  Happy New Year Everyone!  Wondering with what program to view the attachment. Regards, Ron von Dreik?nigentagbayern

Dear Friends of TLUD's

This is a paper originating from CAU last year.

Abstract
Nearly 3 billion of people, across the globe are using biomass cookstove to meet their energy requirement for cooking, water heating and space heating. These cookstoves work at a low efficiency and emits harmful pollutants which affect the health of women and children. Clean combustion and high efficiency are two focus areas that need to be improved in biomass cookstoves. However, the appropriate solution for clean cooking is yet to come. A selected set of biomass fuel, such as corn cob, wood chips, coal, wood char, biomass pellets and briquettes were considered for testing the performance of the cookstove. The TLUD stove was analyzed with respect to a maximum and minimum firepower. In addition, the biomass fuels burning rate, rate of power output and efficiency were tested for comparison and evaluation of the cookstove performance and fuel suitability. Biomass characteristics are analyzed with its proximate analysis and energy content. The results showed that the wood char (CO-45.8%, H2-23.7%, CO2-4.1%, CH4-0.6% and N2-25.7%) was found as a good fuel from the compositions of the gases as compared to other fuels. The thermal efficiency of the woodchar was estimated (17.8%), and tar production was analyzed (7g per kg).
