Effects of a Cyclone Dimensions on Quality of Syngas Produced with a Wood-fired Biomass Gasifier
Nzihou Jean Fidele a* , Hamidou Salou b , Segda Bila Gerard c , Ouattara Frederic a and Compaore Hamidou aCharcoal gasification was widely used during the second World War to deal with petroleum scarcity.
When petroleum was again available after the war, gasification was neglected afterwards.
However, fossils resources are know as non-renewable and there are several reseach carried out

Realization and Experimental Study of a Hybrid Cooker (Solar-Biomass) in a Sahelian Climate
Iliyassé Konkobo, Jacques Nébié, Yomi Woro Gounkaou, Bagré Boubou, Armand Korsaga, Boumbouté Somé, Sidiki Zongo, Christian Tubreoumya Guy, Tizane Daho, Antoine BéréSolar cookers are devices that allow cooking by using free solar energy. However, they can’t operate during cloudy periods or at night. A hybrid cooker (solar-biomass) is an alternative that uses an endogenous and renewable energy source for ecological and economical cooking. In this work, the...
