MODEL OF THE PROCESS OF FAST PYROLYSIS OF PINE SAWDUST
Abstract
The mathematical model of the fast pyrolysis of wood particles is presented. The implicit finite difference algorithm for solving the obtained heat and mass transfer equations is constructed. Based on the computational experiments it was found that the fast pyrolysis of pine sawdust entering a heated reactor is possible when the size of their particles does not exceed 0.45 mm, humidity – 10–15 wt. % and at a pyrolysis temperature of above 490 °C.
