Transient thermal behaviour of a cylindrical wood particle during devolatilization in a bubbling fluidized bed
TL;DR: In this paper, a transient heat transfer model was proposed to predict the thermal behavior of wood in a heated bed of sand fluidized with nitrogen, where the authors considered wood anisotropy, variable fuel properties, fuel particle shrinkage and heat generation due to drying and devolatilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling and experimental investigation of devolatilizing wood in a fluidized bed combustor
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional model is developed for the determination of devolatilization time and char yield of cylindrical wood particles in a bubbling fluidized bed combustor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress of conversion in a shrinking wet cylindrical wood particle pyrolyzing in a hot fluidized bed
M. Sreekanth,Ajit Kumar Kolar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional mathematical model in cylindrical coordinates has been formulated and used to predict the progress of conversion in wood particle undergoing pyrolysis in a fluidized bed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stresses in a Cylindrical Wood Particle Undergoing Devolatilization in a Hot Bubbling Fluidized Bed
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model capable of estimating the temperature and stress distribution in a devolatilizing cylindrical wood particle is proposed, which assumes wood as orthotropic and comprises a thermal submodel and a stress submodel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of wood char size at the end of devolatilization in a bubbling fluidized bed combustor
TL;DR: In this article, a simple phenomenological model incorporating shrinkage and primary fragmentation is proposed to compute the average char size at the end of devolatilization in a fluidized bed combustor.
