CFD Modeling of Combustion in Biomass Furnace

The results obtained for the temperature, velocity and concentration of species fields within the boiler are now being used to enable the analysis and optimization of the combustion process. Moreover, the results show that inside the furnace the mixing of the gases with the combustion air could be improved, for instance through the optimization of the secondary air flow in relation to the operating conditions of the boiler, which would lead to the lower pollutant emissions.
