Development of combustion chamber for solid biomass fuels / Khairul Helmi Hashim

The project of 'Development of Combustion Chamber for Solid Biomass Fuels" has been carried out by the final year students of Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) Mechanical, under the supervision of Mr. Wan Ahmad Najmi bin Wan Mohamed. The project aimed to develop a practical combustion chamber for solid biomass fuels for research and evaluation, and also acts as a platform for examining the combustion properties of biomass fuels. The development consist of three stages, namely design, fabrication, and testing. The combustion chamber is a manually fired type was made using common materials with firebrick as refractory wall. Results from the test firing using palm oil shell as a fuel showed that the design confirmed with the specification and left some rooms for further improvement.
