CFD Modeling and Simulation on Hydrodynamics of CFB Biomass Gasifier using FLUENT
Beniyam Kebede W/kidane
Biomass gasification in Circulating fluidized beds (CFB) is one of the most promising
conversion processes in meeting future ecologically compatible and sustainable energy demand,
based on a combination of flexibility, efficiency, and environmental acceptability. Widespread
industrial use of CFB technology in coal and biomass combustion and gasification depends on
improved control of the fluidization process that demands a better understanding of fluidized bed
hydrodynamics. However, its application to CFB systems is limited due to the high
computational requirements for understanding complex fluid flow behavior. The effect of
different operating parameters on the hydrodynamic behavior of a two-phase gas-solid CFB
biomass gasifier were studied in this thesis work systematically using computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT.
