The energy and exergy of syngas produced from air-steam gasification of wheat straw in a dual-distributor fluidized bed gasifier under different operating conditions were evaluated. Three fluidization velocities (0.35, 0.40 and 0.45 m/s), 3 steam flow rates (0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 k...

Aim: The increase in the annual global energy consumption over the past century has relayed heavily on fossil fuels. Fossil fuel burning have accelerated CO2 emissions on a global scale. CO2 makes up 63 % of the greenhouse gasses present in the atmosphere. The environmental conce...
Aim: Exergy is a measurement of how far a certain material deviates from a state of equilibrium with the environment. The aim of the study was to evaluate the energy and exergy of a syngas obtained from the gasification of wheat straw. Methodology: A pilot scale dual distributor...
