Dear Sir, I'm reading research about Gasification of rice husk using aspen plus. The purpose of this work was to study the Effect of equivalence ratio (ER) ER = (weight O2/wieght dry biomass)/(stoi O2/biomass ratio) and I known the formula of ER's equation but don't know how to use this equation like the paper told they use ER = 0.37....so how do we...which item in aspen plus can varying ER
To vary the equivalence ratio (ER) in Aspen Plus, you need to change the amount of oxygen fed into the gasification reactor, which can be controlled by adjusting the process specifications in the simulation. You can specify the amount of oxygen fed into the reactor as a function of the biomass feed rate, and then vary the biomass feed rate to achieve the desired ER.
To do this in Aspen Plus, you can create a simulation of the gasification process and set up a reactor block with the appropriate reaction scheme. Then, you can specify the mass flow rate of oxygen into the reactor block as a function of the biomass feed rate, and set up a parametric table to vary the biomass feed rate and thus the ER.
There are several tutorials and articles available online that can help you get started with using Aspen Plus for gasification simulations. Here are a few resources you may find helpful:
- Aspen Plus Tutorials: Gasification (AspenTech)
- Modeling of Rice Husk Gasification in Aspen Plus (MDPI)
- Modeling and Simulation of Biomass Gasification in Aspen Plus (ScienceDirect)
These resources should provide you with the basic knowledge and skills needed to model and simulate gasification processes in Aspen Plus and vary the equivalence ratio by adjusting the oxygen feed rate.
