Abstract
This work presents an estimate of consumption of sugarcane bagasse as a complement in the fuel blend in a biomass boiler. Elemental analyzes of biomasses (coffee grounds, eucalyptus wood chips and sugarcane bagasse) were obtained in the literature. Reaction parameters such as composition of the biomass blend, moisture and excess air were adopted in the formulation. A thermodynamic modeling was proposed for the combustion process, presenting the lower heat value (LHV), enthalpy of combustion products, air-fuel ratio, biomass exergy and combustion products exergy. All these parameters were evaluated in relation to the addition of wet cane bagasse in the biomass blend. Thus, it was possible to estimate the biomass consumption values for various bagasse moisture values. It is expected that the results and conclusions presented in this work can assist the operation of biomass boilers.
