THERMAL PHYSICAL MODEL AND RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF GASIFICATION OF WOOD AND PLANT WASTES

The article compares the calculation results using the developed thermophysical composition model for the study of thermal gasification of wood and plant waste – renewable natural energy resources in a gas generator with the reverse combustion process and forced steam-air blast, which allows to achieve minimal formation of a by-product – resin. Based on the thermophysical model, the optimal consumption of solid fuel – wood and plant waste and oxidizer – atmospheric air is determined. The work can be used by technical engineers at enterprises in Russia and abroad for the environmentally friendly disposal of wood and plant waste in autonomous energy technology installations with combustion gas generators to generate thermal and electrical energy for the consumer. In particular, large volumes of wood and plant waste accumulate at wood processing and agricultural enterprises in the Tyumen region, which are an additional cheap source of energy.
