| Abstract | To control the drastically changing environment, fossil fuels to sustainable resources transition are indispensable. Biomass has huge potential as sustainable power generation fuel, but the detailed investigation is needed to ensure the profitable usage of biomass. The principal aim of this study is to investigate the energy conservation opportunities in a biomass-fuelled boiler. An extensive thermodynamics analysis (using energy and exergy mathematical models) of a rice husk-based fixed bed boiler has been conducted. Research has provided measures to optimise the operational parameters of the boiler. Energy and exergy pathways of the boiler have been critically analysed to trace the pivotal cause of losses and irreversibilities in the boiler. A robust parametric study has evaluated the impacts of excess air percentage, stack gas temperature, and stack gas oxygen content on the boiler performance. Cycle tempo software is used to trace the energy losses through the stack gas. Based upon recommended improvements, analysed boiler efficiency can be increased by 3–4% with minimum savings of 150,000 US$/year. It is concluded that rice husk is an environmental-friendly fuel and it has huge potential as sustainable co-generation fuel. This comprehensive analysis has provided a framework for future studies to analyse the performance of any boiler. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
