...Stefano Cordiner; Alessandro Manni; Vincenzo Mulone; Vittorio Rocco Purpose Thermochemical conversion processes are one of the possible solutions for the flexible production of electric and thermal power from biomass. The pyrolysis degradation process presents, among the others, the interesting...

...Johnny Chung‐Yin Tsai; Hong G. Im; Taig‐Young Kim; Jaeho Kim Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a three‐dimensional CFD model that simulates the pyrolysis, combustion and heat transfer phenomena in a refuse‐derived fuel (RDF) gasifier. Correlations between different operation...

...E. Theuns; J. Vierendeels; P. Vandevelde This paper describes a one dimensional moving grid model for the pyrolysis of charring materials. In the model, the solid is divided by a pyrolysis front into a char and a virgin layer. Only when the virgin material reaches a critical temperature it starts...
