Pyrolysis of Hazelnut Shell: Kinetic Modeling And Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Pyrolysis essentially is the thermal decomposition of organic matter under inert atmospheric conditions or in a limited supply of air, leading to the release of volatiles and formation of char. Modeling of pyrolysis implies the representation of the chemical and physical phenomena in a mathematical form. In this study, Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm is applied and global optimum set of kinetic parameters are found out by minimizing the least square error between the experimental data reported and the results of simulated model for hazelnut shell. Simulations are carried out to find the kinetic parameters of the proposed kinetic scheme. Experimental data of thermogravimetry of hazelnut shell at different heating rates are used in the simulation. A generalized best-fit kinetic model is presented which can be applied to a wide range of particle dimensions using only one set of kinetic parameters.
