What do you want to achieve using the TF broadcaster exactly? You haven't told us yet.

Actually I build own wheel mobile robot with hokuyo laser sensor in Gazebo simulator. I want to get the data from sensor in Rviz for that it requires to add fixed frame. So I want to know how can I add world frame as a fixed frame and how to add tf in Rviz.

If you need to add a static transform to your robot you can use the static_transform_publisher node and start it from a launch file. When this is added to the TF tree you will see it in RVIZ along with all the other frames.
