Experimental Study on Heat and Mass Transfer during Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass Particle

Abstract:

As Japan has many mountains with steep slopes, it is difficult to transport felled trees. Therefore, the development of a high-quality, compact gasifier that can cope with variations both in the amount of biomass collected and in energy demand, is necessary. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the system is used in the most efficient manner, it is necessary to increase our understanding of the reaction mechanisms involved in both the decomposition of biomass and heat transfer in the packed bed of biomass.
