A Study on Heat Transfer Model in Wood Particle during the Pyrolysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Heat transfer in wood particle controls the process of the pyrolysis. This paper makes a 2-D transient heat transfer model in cylindrical to predict the thermal behavior of wood particle in the process of fast pyrolysis. Wood anisotropy and thermophysical properties are considered in this model, as well as the influence of heat reaction on temperature distribution in wood particle. Based on the calculation of transient temperature in wood particle, and analysis of the temperature distribution during the process of wood fast pyrolysis at different time, this paper preliminarily discusses the optimization of parameters in wood particle fast pyrolysis. Keywords: pyrolysis, heat transfer, particle, wood
