Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Intra-Particle Heat Transfer and Tar Decomposition during Pyrolysis of Wood Biomass

Pyrolysis of cylindrical woody biomass has been investigated both numerically and experimentally with emphasis on intra-particle heat transfer and tar decompostion. In experiment, wood cylinder of 8 mm diameter and 9 mm length was pyrolyzed in an infrared reactor exposed to both convective and radia...
