Modeling kinetics-transport interactions during biomass torrefaction: The effects of temperature, particle size, and moisture content

A comprehensive one-dimensional model accounting for the effects of heat and mass transfer, chemical kinetics, and drying was developed to describe the torrefaction of a single woody biomass particle. The thermochemical sub-models depend only on previously determined or measured characteristics, avo...
