Abstract: A steady turbulent CFD analysis of the combustion process in a non-conventional biomass furnace, originally developed for the combustion of bagasse, is presented. However, in order to assess the potentiality of this furnace geometry to efficiently work using different fuels, here lauan wood is considered.
