The kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis process, such as activation energy and pre-exponential factor, were calculated by least squares non-linear method and Scilab are used as the simulation tool.
This work about pyrolysis kinetics is a fundamental study which will be used to our CFD and experimental works about equipments like spouted and fluidized bed [19-21], that will be applied to fast pyrolysis.
Scilab software was used as the simulation tool

The typical values for the component efficiencies that are usually used in the calculation is being listed as below: · ηt = 0.45 for the turbine efficiency · ηd = 0.96 for drive – train efficiency · ηg = 0.95 for generator efficiency · ηc = 0.98 for the efficiency of the power conditioning component.

Wind tunnel experiment and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation can better study the building surface wind load[4].
Wind Tunnel Numerical Simulation Structural Prototype.
On account of the symmetry, simulation wind direction angles are 0°, 45° and 90° respectively in a clockwise direction, angle interval is 45° ( see Fig. 2 ).

Briscoe et al. [13] performed the experimental study and numerical simulations of the surface strains developed in a metal-polymer contact under a variety of loading configurations.
The numerical simulation was done on differences between diameter cavities and separation.
The results of simulation indicate that the increasing diameter cavities and increasing separation resulted in reducing von Mises stress distribution.

Three dimensional simulation using ANSYS Fluent have been conducted for six different configurations at Reynolds number ranging from 200 to 1000 based on louver pitch.
In this study, numerical method using commercial CFD code ANSYS 14.0 is employed for various geometrical parameters in order to determine the pressure drop and heat transfer rate of louvered fin heat exchanger.
The numerical work involved 3-dimensional, steady simulation of air enters across the heat exchanger.

A step further would be to use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate the compression but this would need to be an iterative process because the CFD, in itself, requires the assumption of a rheology model and the input of parameters.
Transient Behaviour Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been extensively used to predict die filling (see eg. [2]).
Kumar et al [25] and Koke and Modigell [9] however, find shear thickening 'iso-structural' flow behaviour and the latter authors argue that this finding is of high importance for simulation of the industrial process.
