Calculation of the power of thermal energy consumed for heating the reactor of a bioenergy plant

摘要

The issues of calculating the power of thermal energy consumed for heating biomass in the reactor of a bioenergy plant are considered. Based on the Fourier heat equation, a solution for the axisymmetric cylindrical problem under boundary conditions of the first kind is obtained, and the power of additional heat sources in a cylindrical biogas reactor is calculated. The influence of the height of the bioreactor and the temperature difference of the biomass on the power consumption of an additional source of thermal energy is analyzed
