A steady turbulent CFD analysis of the combustion process in a non-conventional biomass furnace, originally developed for the combustion of bagasse, is presented. However, in order to assess the potentiality of this furnace geometry to efficiently work using different fuels, here lauan wood is...

A comprehensive computational model for biomass combustion is presented, featuring a solid phase combustion model, a fluid dynamic model for the gas phase, and a solid particle transport and deposit formation model. The submodel developed to track particle trajectories is briefly outlined. The...
