Open in App
Solution

Biomass Generator Mechanism:

  1. Biomass is decomposed from plants and animals.
  2. It makes use of solar thermal energy. Plant-eating animals use and store this energy in their bodies.
  3. A biomass generator uses plants, woody biomass, agricultural crop residues, forestry wastes, and sawdust to generate heat and power.
  4. Burning biomass is the most prevalent method. It's also known as combustion or thermal generation of electricity.
  5. Solid biomass products are burned to heat massive boilers filled with water.
  6. The pressure in the boiler is created by the steam generated. After that, steam is used to rotate the machine.
