This paper presents an improved prediction model for the higher heating value (HHV) of biomass based on the ultimate analysis by using the standard least squares method. This study intends for us to predict the HHV of biomass within a wide range of elemental distributions rather than the range of literature in order to create an optimal prediction model. To this end, many experimental data, comprising a wide range of biomass elements, regression models, and neural networks, are used for its comparative validation. As a result, the proposed prediction model, HHV = 2.8799 + 0.2965 * C + 0.4826 * H – 0.0187 * O demonstrates a better HHV prediction performance for biomass in a comparative validation of 250 samples presented in the literature, and the fitness model using a neural network shows a high fitness in the training, validation, and testing for 430 samples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
