Analysis of parameters important for indirect drying of biomass fuel

This paper focuses on biomass drying for the design and operation of an indirect dryer used in a power plant. Indirect is not as well described process direct drying, especially when preparation energy processes, such combustion or gasification. Therefore, it necessary to choose suitable model describing evaluate its applicability this purpose. The aim identify parameters that most significantly affect precise targeting future experiments. For purpose, penetration was chosen. describes through 21 parameters. To run series experiments focused all would be time consuming. easier way select important sensitivity analysis, then perform only significant evaluated are temperature heated wall, operating pressure chamber, surface coverage factor, emissivity bed, diameter particle, particle roughness. Due presumption perfect mixing material being dried, stirrer speed added into Based these findings, will possible reduce scope verify description dryers practical use.
