Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling is a powerful and cost-effective tool for study and improves the performance of combustion systems. OpenFOAM is a powerful open-source engineering-tool, which has been successfully used in numerous applications. To guide researchers interested in using OpenFOAM for this type of applications, in this document, a general view of solid biomass combustion modeling and a complete review of the topic when OpenFOAM is used are presented. It was found that, although there are relatively few OpenFOAM-based studies on the topic, there is a growing interest in the use of the tool for solid combustion simulation. Those works usually seek to improve thermal efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions in combustion furnaces; by using new biomasses or changing operational parameters. The main articles related to the subject are described and citation analyses are made to identify their relationships and relevance.

Buildings consume a large amount of energy during all stages of their life cycle. One of the most efficient ways to reduce their consumption is to use thermal insulation materials; however, these generally have negative effects on the environment and human health. Bio-insulations are presented as a good alternative solution to this problem, thus motivating the study of the properties of natural or recycled materials that could reduce energy consumption in buildings. Fique is a very important crop in Colombia. In order to contribute to our knowledge of the properties of its fibers as a thermal insulator, the measurement of its thermal conductivity is reported herein, employing equipment designed according to the ASTM C 177 standard and a kinetic study of its thermal decomposition from thermogravimetric data through the Coats–Redfern model-fitting method.

Combustion is the most widely used process to generate energy from biomass, however, there are still challenges to overcome in terms of efficiency and lack of knowledge of the properties of potential fuels. In the present work, a kinetic study of the thermal decomposition of Lippia origanoides bagasse from the essential oil distillation process is reported. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed on samples of stems, leaves and their mixture and the respective kinetic parameters were calculated from isoconversional methods of Friedman and Kissinger. The results obtained by the previous methods were evaluated by comparing the theoretical and experimental conversion curves, showing a good correlation between them, except for char combustion stage of leaves and mixture samples. Different characteristic combustion parameters were also evaluated; it was found that the stems samples have better combustion properties than the other two samples and that there is a linear relationship between them and heating rates.

Combustion is the main method of converting biomass to energy, either by direct heating systems or by boilers. By means of CFD models, it is possible to optimize the behavior of those systems and improve significantly its performance, without incurring the economic and environmental cost of experimental studies. However, modelling of biomass combustion is a complex process that requires a large number of sub-models and computational resources for a detailed description, therefore, different approaches have been developed which depend on the system and simulation objective. In this work, a review of the state of art of modelling of solid biomass combustion in the last years is presented, including classification, description and analysis of several of the main models about the subject.

En este artículo se presenta el diseño 3D del impulsor y voluta externa de un compresor centrífugo de una etapa mediante la combinación de 2 metodologías de diseño compatibles entre sí, calculando los parámetros termodinámicos y componentes geométricos respectivos. Además, se describe el proceso de obtención de las curvas de desempeño de un compresor mediante un análisis CFD de los componentes mencionados. Dichas curvas fueron comparadascon datos experimentales, con porcentajes de error entre los datos calculados y simulados de 3.26% para la eficiencia, 3.31% para la temperatura de salida, 13% para la presión total de salida y 7.14% para la presión estática de salida. La metodología de simulación fue validada al replicar los resultados de la investigación presentada por Mojaddam M.[1], obteniendo porcentajes de error de 11.69% para la relación de presiones y 3.89% para las eficiencias isentrópicas
