Simulation study of biomass powder combustion in a cyclonic furnace.

Derivation of the kinetics of devolatilisation and oxidation of pulverized biomass in a drop tube furnace: Sensitivity to volume evolution and drag-coefficient model

“…Table 6 shows the kinetic parameters of devolatilization and char combustion of the three fuels using the non-spherical drag law. The chosen shape factors are used as surveyed in the literature for raw and torrefied wood [45], [46], [48]- [50]. Torrefied biomass is found to have higher SF due to its lower fiber content compared to raw biomass.…”
