[ 1 ] - Analysis of heat transfer in the pyrolysis of differently shaped biomass particles subjected to different boundary conditions: integral transform methods

The conversion and utilization of biomass as an alternative source of energy have been subjects of interest in various countries, but technical barriers to the technology and design of conversion plants have considerably impeded the development and use of alternative power sources. Theoretical studies on the conversion process enhance our understanding of the thermochemical conversion of solid ...

[ 2 ] - Nonlinear Analysis of Integrated Kinetics and Heat Transfer Models of Slow Pyrolysis of Biomass Particles using Differential Transformation Method

The inherent nonlinearities in the kinetics and heat transfer models of biomass pyrolysis have led to the applications of various numerical methods in solving the nonlinear problems. However, in order to have physical insights into the phenomena and to show the direct relationships between the parameters of the models, analytical solutions are required. In this work, approximate analytical solu...
