چکیده
In this paper design and fabrication of compact fluidized bed gasifier with increased gas – solid interaction is proposed for automotive vehicle. The aim of the design is generate a nitrogen (N2) free product gas with low tars and fines content. Firstly a compact size gasifier with fluidized bed is designed and after that it fabricated. Design was done with the help of CATIA design/modeling software .Different particles and different size of particles was analyzed for fluidized bed. By simple geometrical modifications it is possible to achieve well mixed flow condition in the fuel/gasification reactor along the full height. The gas velocity and the geometrical properties in the fuel/gasification reactor are chosen in such a way that solid’s entrainment of coarse particles in the upper part of the fuels is low at the top. Experimental results showed that achieved low ignition time as compare to packed bed gasifier. KeywordsFluidized bed; Gasifier

Effect of Novel Swirl Distributor Plate on Hydrodynamics of Fluidized Bed Gasifier
The main advantage of a fluidized bed is its capability in excellent gas-fuel mixing. However, due to the lacks of gas radial momentum, its lateral mixing of gas-solid is not adequate. Therefore, this research is focused on fluidized bed hydrodynamics enhancement using the modified gas distributor plate design. For getting an optimum fluidized bed hydrodynamics prediction, three different class...
متن کاملTheoretical and Experimental Study of Potato Shoot Gasification in Fluidized- and Fixed-Bed Gasifier
A bench-scale updraft gasifier was used as a fluidized- and fixed-bed gasification unit in three modes (fluidized-bed at equivalence ratios (ER) =0.2 and 0.25, and a mode in fixed-bed). The experiments were done in five different temperatures (650, 700, 750, 800 and 850oC). To obtain the required data to develop a thermodynamic equilibrium model, the proximate and ultimate analysis w...

A laboratory, fluidized-bed gasifier is being researched as a means to gasify feedstocks in a process to produce ethanol from biomass. Fluidization characteristics of the bed, especially minimum (Umf) and complete (Ucf) fluidization velocities, were measured because they are critical to the operation of the gasifier. Fluidization properties of sand and chopped switchgrasssand mixtures of differ...
