Analysis of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer inside a Batch Reactor for Hydrothermal Carbonization Process of a Biomass

This work analyzes the heat transfer and fluid flow within a batch reactor for hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of raw olive pomace (ROP). The autoclave is partially filled with a mixture of ROP and distilled water and hence it is considered as a dispersed medium. The reactor is heated through its l...
