Journal ArticleDOI
An enthalpy-based pyrolysis model for charring and non-charring materials in case of fire
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified enthalpy-based pyrolysis model is proposed to simulate flame spread in a simulation of a developing fire, and the model is extended to multi-dimensional solid-phase treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of a simple enthalpy-based pyrolysis model in numerical simulations of pyrolysis of charring materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple pyrolysis model for charring materials is applied to several numerical and experimental test cases with variable externally imposed heat fluxes, based on enthalpy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of pyrolysis and upward flame spread on charring materials-Part I: Experimental study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the results from an experimental campaign, focused on vertical upward flame spread over a charring material, and derive the temporal evolution of the mass loss rate due to pyrolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of vertical upward flame spread on charring materials—Part II: Numerical simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, an enthalpy-based pyrolysis model is used to simulate vertically upward flame spread over a charring material in a parallel plate configuration, where the mass loss rate is also considered.
Waste-to-clean syngas: avoiding tar problems
TL;DR: The most important features of the primary and secondary tar removal methods, as well as the most recent developments in this field, are reviewed and discussed in this article, where the Corona plasma for tar removal is discussed in more detail.
