This paper presents a numerical analysis of gas flow in the annular combustion chamber of a Proto X-3 Bioenergy micro gas turbine for green building applications. The computational fluids dynamics (CFD) simulation was conducted in two dimensions, turbulent flow and gas phase combustion, with the goal of comparing the effects of different models in real conditions. Two different turbulence models, standard (STD) k-? and renormalization group (RNG) k-?, were applied for simulations. The fuel used was biogas produced from animal waste. Fuel consumption was assumed to be 100 kJ/s for simulations. The results of the simulations were analyzed and compared for reference. The temperature and the mass fraction of CH4, H2, O2, and CO2 distributions gave almost the same results for both models; therefore, both models (STD k-? and RNG k-?) could be used to represent the combustion process phenomenon without many significant differences.

Thermal conversion of woody biomass to fuel has been intensified in recent decades due to the depletion of fossil fuels, greenhouse effect and high energy demand worldwide. Screening the potential feedstock is being considered as one of the alternatives to identifying the most suitable biomass resources prior to being converted into renewable energy in the form of solid fuels, such as charcoal and briquettes. Generally, high calorific value (CV) indicates high potential of feedstock for briquettes, torrefied wood and coal generation. In this study, CV was characterized using a bomb calorimeter that was based on 3 different ranges of moisture content (MC) that are ? 25%, 20%?25% and ? 20% for two tropical tree species, namely Azadirachta excelsa (Sentang) and Endospermum malaccense (Sesenduk), respectively. This standard method for the characterization process was considered to determine the CV. Average CV for both samples ranged between 16?17 MJ/kg. The highest CV was 17.3490 MJ/kg and 17.1273 MJ/kg for Sesenduk and Sentang, respectively and calorific values were obtained at MC less than 20%. The experimental study demonstrated that the decreasing value of MC has increased the CV because of the high value of oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) ratio in the wood; additionally, the energy density of the wood sample was also improved when CV increased. Both of these species were proved to contain the potential of being feedstock as wood fuel resources, since they carry standard CVs, obtain fast growth with suitable conditions in Malaysia and are grown at very low cost of production for plantations, fertilizer, pesticides, labor, transportation and handling.
