Original abstract

The main goal of this article is to analyze the distribution of primary and secondary combustion air in a combustion chamber. The fuel for the combustion chamber is biomass and the main characteristics the combustion chamber must meet is to be simple, reliable, cheap and ecological. A brief summary of the importance of primary and secondary air is made and then it is compared with the results from the numerical model. The numerical model is based upon a simplified chamber geometry and the results are computed for laminar and turbulent flow. From the comparison are determined flaws of the design of the combustion chamber and outlined possible solutions for their removal and further direction of the study.
