Abstract

The paper consists of performance analysis of gasifier system. The biomass gasifier converts the various biomass into combustible gaseous fuel by gasification process. The fuel obtained is used for thermal/heating and power
development processes. The performance analysis of both applications is of main concern and peroposes to study the
thermal performance of a downdraft gasifier system by taking down various observations during the experimentation
and plotting the graphs which help in the evaluation of the study of the gasifier system. This in turn would be helpful in
putting forward the gasifier system as an efficient source for renewable energy.The energy obtained from the gasifier can
be used for power generation in rural area, absorbtion type refrigeratiuon and for cogenration.
