A Generic Thermodynamic Equilibrium Model-Based Framework For Biomass Gasification Processes

In this paper a generic thermodynamic equilibrium model-based framework for biomass gasification processes has been developed. The designed framework contains a modelling for downdraft and fluidized bed gasifier. A biomass database has been developed as a supporting tools for this framework enabli...
