suggests that diesel-based engines, with <strong>la</strong>rge cylin<strong>de</strong>r volumes/valve areas, operating<br />

at constant load and low rpm, provi<strong>de</strong> optimum power output.<br />

Regarding the influence of various parameters involved in the process of gasification in<br />

the final features of syngas, there is some discrepancy in the values given by various<br />

authors. This highlights the strong <strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nce on the final composition of the syngas<br />

on condition of biomass used, the type of gasifier and conditions of pressure and<br />

temperature. Thus, in or<strong>de</strong>r to make precise studies on the use of syngas it will be<br />

necessary to consi<strong>de</strong>r that its composition will be very difficult to maintain constant.<br />

The <strong>de</strong>velopment of mathematical mo<strong>de</strong>ls for numerical simu<strong>la</strong>tion fully validated<br />

experimentally may be a very useful tool to <strong>de</strong>termine the final composition of syngas<br />

by changes in initial conditions without <strong>la</strong>borious and expensive experimental tests.<br />

2.5. Laminar premixed f<strong>la</strong>mes<br />

A f<strong>la</strong>me may be <strong>de</strong>scribed as a reaction zone that moves with respect to the initial<br />

mixture. In practice the term is usually reserved for fast exothermic reactions of this<br />

type, and these are often also accompanied by emission of light. F<strong>la</strong>mes may be either<br />

stationary f<strong>la</strong>mes on a burner and propagating into a flow of gas from a burner tube, or<br />

they may be freely propagating f<strong>la</strong>mes travelling in a gas mixture. There are two types<br />

of stationary f<strong>la</strong>mes:<br />

- Premixed f<strong>la</strong>mes where the reactants are mixed before approaching the f<strong>la</strong>me<br />

region. These f<strong>la</strong>mes can only be obtained if the initial fuel and oxidant mixture<br />

lies between certain composition limits called the composition limits of<br />

f<strong>la</strong>mmability.<br />

- Diffusion f<strong>la</strong>mes where both fuel and air are separated and the <strong>combustion</strong><br />

occur at the interface.<br />

For <strong>de</strong>fined thermodynamic starting conditions, the premixed system has a <strong>de</strong>fined<br />

equilibrium adiabatic f<strong>la</strong>me temperature and for the i<strong>de</strong>alized situation of p<strong>la</strong>nar f<strong>la</strong>me<br />

in a one-dimensional flow field, premixed f<strong>la</strong>me has a <strong>de</strong>fined adiabatic burning velocity<br />

or equivalent mass flux in a direction normal to its surface. An unstrained diffusion<br />

f<strong>la</strong>me has no such simply <strong>de</strong>fined parameters.<br />

Many practical <strong>combustion</strong> problems are concerned with turbulent <strong>combustion</strong>, but<br />

<strong>la</strong>minar f<strong>la</strong>me must firstly be well controlled. In premixed f<strong>la</strong>mes, the <strong>la</strong>minar burning<br />

velocity and f<strong>la</strong>me structure data can be extremely useful in the analysis of<br />
