Abstract

Furnace is a contrivance for the production and utilization of heat by the combustion of fuel. This thesis is done focused on the numerical simulation of combustion process in a furnace to analyze the temperature and emission release. Biomass substances that used are wood as a fuel of combustion in the furnace. This project is done by using the simulation work in GAMBIT software and FLUENT 6.1 software. In the beginning of the project, the modeling of furnace must be done and defining the boundary condition must be correct. The result that obtained in this project is temperature in detail and gas concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and carbon monoxide (CO). The temperature that compared between simulation and experimental work at three points area are nearly same whereas the gas concentration of methane at outlet’s of furnace produced from simulation work is 1.84 ppm and carbon dioxide is 43.3 ppm. The concentration of carbon monoxide produced small amount at 7.62 ppm. From this project, temperature and gas concentration can be analyzed clearly compare with experimental work but the result not very accurate compare with experimental.
