Abstract:
The cyclic nature of biomass as a fuel, has taken its
advantages over fossil fuel Biomass contributes to the largest
share of the renewable energy supply of present world. For
effective utilization of energy stored in biomass by combustion a
good understanding of the mechanisms involved in the
combustion process should be obtained. Study of the mechanisms
can be done through experiments or using Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) method. The numerical simulation approaches
related to packed bed combustion modeling retrieved from
research papers, books and other publications is presented in this
work. This will provide a basis for understanding the
complexities in biomass combustion modeling in packed beds.
