Study of temperature characterization of agricultural waste in the development of stove for combine heat power

Indonesia is one of tropical country in the world, therefore biomass product can find a lot in Indonesia. In the other side, waste of agricultural product is one of biomass resources which is can be converting to energy using Combine Heat Power for the example. In this paper, will be discussed about the temperature characterization due to influence of feeding rate and air flow rate. The contribution of this paper will show the temperature achievement of flue gas as the result of direct combustion in a stove. The research conducted using coconut shell as raw fuel material with varying feed rate and air flow rate. In this research also use the excess air to know the effect. The result show that the temperature of flue gas in direct combustion of coconut shell can reach of 520°C and temperature at combustion chamber reach 840°C. This achievement is occurring in the certain variation of experiment.
