An irrigation pump is to be powered by biomass using gasification technology. 1000 watts of power is required to the pump. The irrigation must be completed in 5 hours each day. If the overall conversion efficiency is 75%, Calculate the carbon conversion efficiency of the system by using the data given below. [1kWh=3.6MJ] - knowing that the carbon efficiency= carbon in syngas/ carbon in biomass

Energy content of biomass of 6.29MJ/m3 - Density of biomass 521 kg/m3 - The ultimate analysis of biomass showed that carbon content is 45%. - The syngas production rate was measured at 14.83 kg/min - The char production rate was 5 kg/min having 43% carbon contents. - The tar production rate was 2 kg/min having 51% carbon contents.
