A Scientific Basis for the Development of the Next Generation of Biomass Burners

The kinetics derived from the classical engineering study are used to simulate the devolatilization and char burn-out phases in the CFD model. Likewise, the study on morphology development will be used to estimate suitable sub-routines, e.g. effective drag coeffcients. The full-scale campaign is used to evaluate the results of the generic CFD models. As the qualitative trends can be reproduced, the CFD models can be used to extend the experimental matrix and facilitate process optimization
