Process-Simulation and Computational Fluid Dynamics for the Development of a novel Solid Biomass-fired Combustor

Engineering Steps:

• Combustion calculation, mass- and energy balancing (Process simulation )
• Design of the initial geometry (inner core, secondary zone...)
• Evaluation of CFD-Simulation and re-design of the combustor

Process simulation works:

• Well-established inhouse-code (sequential-modular)
• Simultaneous solution of mass-, species- and energy balances
• Commercial Newton-Raphson Solver
• Detailed modelling of temperature-dependent material properties
• Applied for process investigation and sensitivity analysis
• Starting point for Basic Engineering
