Question: A biomass gasifier operating with 1 8 0 kg / h of biomass feeding rate is used to run a compression ignition engine. The engine

A biomass gasifier operating with 180 kg/h of biomass feeding rate is used to run a compression ignition engine. The engine has 32% efficiency and operates in the duel fuel mode with 80% diesel replacement. This gasifier-engine system produces 17,280 MJ of energy per day. Calculate the gasifier efficiency if the calorific value of the biomass is 16 MJ/kg.
(a)75.0%
(b)70.6%
(c)62.5%
(d)54.2%
