Chapter 1<br />

choose three typical compositions of syngas consi<strong>de</strong>red as mixture of five gases (H 2 -<br />

CO-CH 4 -CO 2 -N 2 ) and make its <strong>combustion</strong> characterization un<strong>de</strong>r <strong>la</strong>minar and<br />

turbulent conditions with the objective to its application in stationary energy production<br />

systems based on internal <strong>combustion</strong> engines.<br />

1.2 Thesis <strong>la</strong>yout<br />

This work was divi<strong>de</strong>d into seven chapters with the following contains:<br />

Chapter 1– Introduction<br />

tel-00623090, version 1 - 13 Sep 2011<br />

In this introductory chapter a brief overview about the environmental problems caused<br />

by the extensively use of fossil fuels is given in or<strong>de</strong>r to provi<strong>de</strong> reasons for the<br />

increasing use of renewable energy sources with focus on biomass. The technologies<br />

for converting biomass into fuels are summarized. The use of gasification as the right<br />

technology to apply when a gas fuel is the final product is justified, which was the spark<br />

that motivates this work. The objectives are <strong>de</strong>fined.<br />

Chapter 2 – Bibliographic revision<br />

This chapter touches upon two topics of interest for the present work - gasification and<br />

<strong>combustion</strong>. A global perspective of the gasification process is given, namely: its<br />

<strong>de</strong>finition, the main chemical reactions, the main types of reactors, the typical<br />

composition of the syngas, the end use for the syngas as well as the technical<br />

problems that still remains in this technology, pointing out the necessary research lines.<br />

The influence of various process parameters in the final composition of the syngas is<br />

evaluated based on bibliographical data. It is evaluated the influence in the final<br />

composition of the syngas of biomass kind, reactor type, oxidizer and the reactor<br />

operational conditions.<br />

The syngas coming from a gasification process is un<strong>de</strong>r study for energy proposes.<br />

This is accomplished by <strong>combustion</strong>. Therefore, premixed f<strong>la</strong>mes <strong>combustion</strong> theory is<br />

revised. Stretch rate and the corresponding Karlovitz and Markstein numbers are<br />

<strong>de</strong>fined. Following, the experimental methods for burning velocity <strong>de</strong>termination are<br />

<strong>de</strong>scribed with emphasis for the constant volume and constant pressure methods.<br />
