Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation of Species-Transport Model in Numerical Simulation to Predict the Performance of Downdraft Gasifier with Biomass BlendsMurugan P. C., G. Arun Prasad, S. Joseph SekharThe demand for energy from biomass gasification is increasing due to the depletion of fossil fuels and serious environmental issues. Due to this, usage of individual biomass in a gasifier is not sufficient to meet the demand in rural areas. However, an enormous study have been reported on the gasifier with single biomass as working fuel. In addition, only a … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 11 Sep 2019 · 7,639 accessesView PDF Cite
