Experimental study on the fouling behaviour of an underfeed fixed-bed biomass combustor
TL;DR: In this paper, a water-refrigerated sampling probe was placed in the cross-flow above the bed to measure the fouling layer build-up rates in a small-scale biomass underfed fixed-bed combustor.

Effect of different washing parameters on the fuel properties and elemental composition of wheat straw in water-washing pre-treatment. Part 2: Effect of washing temperature and solid-to-liquid ratio
TL;DR: In this paper, the second part of a study conducted to evaluate the effect of basic parameters on the efficiency of water washing pre-treatment was conducted, where the aim was to further improve the efficiency for rather short washing durations (5 and 10 min) and a large feedstock size (3 cm) by optimizing the temperature and solid-to-liquid (S:L) ratio.

Calculation of higher heating values of fatty acids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used regression analysis to determine the heating values (HHVs) of unsaturated fatty acids experimentally via the correct way, and found that the calculated values show mean difference of 0.30%.

Wood ash composition as a function of furnace temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, the elemental and molecular composition of mineral matter in five wood types and two barks was investigated as a function of temperature using thermal gravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.

Ash deposition during biomass and coal combustion: A mechanistic approach
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic approach to describing the fate of inorganic material in solid fuels with a particular focus on the mechanisms of ash deposition is presented. But this approach has the potential of embracing a large range of fuel variations, combustor types, and operating conditions without the need of developing extensive databases or testing procedures for each new situation.
