Combining the lumped capacitance method and the simplified distributed activation energy model to describe the pyrolysis of thermally small biomass particles

TL;DR: In this article, the Lumped Capacitance Method (LCM) and Distributed Activation Energy Model (DAEM) were combined to describe the pyrolysis process of thermally small biomass particles.

Experimental and simulation investigations on self-heat recuperative fluidized bed dryer for biomass drying with superheated steam

TL;DR: In this article, an exergy recuperative module was developed and applied to biomass drying, and the proposed drying process has an energy consumption 1/20 that of a conventional heat recovery drying system.

Biomass Combustion in a Fluidized-Bed System: An Integrated Model for Dynamic Plant Simulations

TL;DR: In this paper, a model that combines spatially concentrated (well-mixed) approaches for the fluidized bed and the ash separation cyclone with a one-dimensional plug-flow representation of the freeboard section is presented.

Biomass composition of perennial grasses for biofuel production in North Dakota, USA

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical composition of ten perennial grasses and mixtures across environments in North Dakota, USA was investigated, and the contents of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADL), hemicellulose (HCE), cellulose (CE), and ash were determined.

Energy production from biomass (Part 1): Overview of biomass.

TL;DR: The potential of a restored landfill site to act as a biomass source, providing fuel to supplement landfill gas-fuelled power stations, is examined, together with a comparison of the economics of power production from purpose-grown biomass versus waste-biomass.
