Breakage Strength of Wood Sawdust Pellets: Measurements and Modelling

Breakage Strength of Wood Sawdust Pellets: Measurements and Modelling

Wood pellets are an important source of renewable energy. Their mechanical strength is a crucial property. In this study, the tensile strength of pellets made from oak, pine, and birch sawdust with moisture contents of 8% and 20% compacted at 60 and 120 MPa was determined in a diametral compression...
