The fruit is abundant in the Brazilian state of Bahia and its bark is a residue avaiable from the process of palm oil extraction. The residue is a potential alternative fuel for small energy generating units. A Rijke type pulsating combustor with a 200mm internal diameter was tested inthe burning of the material. Two combustor lengths were investigated (2400 and 3200mm). The combustor wall was refrigerated by awater jacket. The pulsatiang combustion of the bark produced a maximum power output of 1.9 MWm-2. The maximum combustion efficiency was 96% which was obtained with an excess of air of 10%. The frequencies ranged between 65 Hz in the longer configuration and between 85 Hz and 90 Hz in the shorter configuration. The acoustic pressure amplitude in the combustor mid section reached 4kPa. %8 Mar. %N 3 %T Pulsating combustion of palm oil fruit bark %@secondarytype PRE PI %K COMBUSTÃO, Combustion, rijke tube, palm oil. %@visibility shown %@group %@group LCP-INPE-MCT-BR %@group LCP-INPE-MCT-BR %@group LCP-INPE-MCT-BR %@secondarykey INPE-12372-PRE/7676 %@copyholder SID/SCD %@issn 0016-2361 %2 lcp.inpe.br/ignes/2005/03.07.11.13.34 %@affiliation Centro de Pesquisas e Desenvolvimento, Camaçari %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais %B Fuel %P 257-261 %4 lcp.inpe.br/ignes/2005/03.07.11.13 %D 1992 %V 71 %A Torres, E.
