Abstract

Biomass is a syngas fuel which can be used as a fuel for furnaces, stoves and vehicles in place of gasoline, diesel or other fuels. In the present investigation, syngas is used as fuel for biomass wood stove to meet the energy requirement for community and domestic level cooking applications. Water boiling tests were conducted to evaluate the biomass performance with respect to efficiency and fuel flexibility. The biomass wood stove was tested with Amla, Calotropis, Juliflora, Neem wood and Cashew nut shell. The properties of the biomasses were determined experimentally. It is seen from results that the thermal efficiency of neem wood is 56% higher than the other biomasses.
