Thermodynamic methodology to support the selection of feedstocks for decentralised downdraft gasification power plants

Thermodynamic criteria as a feedstock selection tool for decentralised downdraft gasifiers coupled to spark-ignition engines are presented in this work. The methodology consists of an energy and exergy analysis of gasification process. The analysis is carried out by computational modelling of the ga...
