Hey guys,
I've just started working for a company who use a biomass Grate furnace for heat and drying. I'm trying to calculate the power produced from it...it's beleived to be between 20 to 35 MW. The wood chips are approximately 45% moisture content (Calorific value 5.6 GJ/tonne). I have temperature and pressure values from around the system but haven't a clue how to use them to calculate the power. I've been reading alot of studies on co-current and counter-current but can't figure out how to use the formulas in these papers. Could someone please help.
Thanks,
Cormac
