TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art in modeling chemical and physical processes of wood and biomass pyrolysis is reported, and the main achievements of numerical simulations are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on biomass as a fuel for boilers
TL;DR: In this paper, several aspects which are associated with burning biomass in boilers have been investigated such as composition of biomass, estimating the higher heating value of biomass and comparison between biomass and other fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic materials via the biochemical pathway: a review.
TL;DR: The main problem with bioethanol production is the availability of raw materials for the production as mentioned in this paper, which can highly affect the production costs of the bio-ethanol, as the price of the raw materials is highly volatile.

Basic Principles of Direct Combustion
TL;DR: The combustion process may be defined as an interaction between fuel, energy, and the environment rather than merely a chemical reaction of fuel with oxygen to release energy, or a physical reaction of the fuel with the environment involving heat and mass transfer.
