Abstract

In this work, a mathematical model of gasification technology has been developed. The aim of the present paper is to analyze the total Gibbs free energy G(U) of the system during the process which strongly depends on the type of biomass CHMON. In order to reach this goal, the Boubaker Polynomial Expansion Scheme (BPES) is exploited as an efficient optimization protocol. The results lead to find out the optimal values for biomass composition and clearly show that the latter and its substrate ratio influence the free energy trend.
