Optimal Tuning of a Thermo-Chemical Equilibrium Model for Downdraft Biomass Gasifiers

A thermo-chemical equilibrium model is applied to predict the released syngas composition, char, tar content and temperature in biomass gasifiers. The accuracy of the model results is improved by proper calibration, namely by modifying the equilibrium constants through correction factors that repres...
