Heat Transfer Model of Larch Bark Particles Pyrolysis

Abstract:

A novel model for larch bark pyrolysis was established by combine dimensions, shapes, boundary conditions, pyrolysis gas diffusion, particle size and reaction heat expression. It overcomes the shortages of early models which are short of expression of the reaction heat and application conditions. By introducing the kinetic equations and shape factor, the model was simulated by commercial software. The simulation results indicated that the pyrolysis time of particles is increasing by particle size, the best size for larch pyrolysis is 0.8 mm under 775K.
