Abstract

Gasification has played an important role in the sustainable use of waste biomass, providing useful combustible gases in the process. Gasification has an important role in waste management and promotes energy independence for many oil-deficit countries. The gasification process has been studied by various researchers, and improvements have been achieved in its sub-processes such as devolatilization, feed input methods, and so on. We examined the influence of gasifier operation parameters, such as oxidizer content, moisture content in the feedstock, and solar flux input inside the gasifier, on the temperature distribution, velocity distribution, and product gas yields of the gasifier. The results indicate that inducing solar energy at different stages of the gasifier leads to different yields of product gas composition (CO and H 2 ).
