Modeling the fixed bed drying characteristics of biomass particles

Creator:

Yang, Hai

Abstract:

The fixed bed drying of western hemlock and Douglas-fir biomass particles at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 200°C and air velocities from 0.3 to 0.9 m/s was investigated. The objectives were to describe the drying characteristics of the particles, fit a model for thin-layer drying, and develop and test a...

Modeling air-drying of Douglas-fir and hybrid poplar biomass in Oregon

Creator:

Kim, Dong-Wook

Abstract:

Both transportation costs and market values of woody biomass are strongly linked to the amount of moisture in the woody biomass. Therefore, managing moisture in the woody biomass well can lead to significant advantages in the woody biomass energy business. In this study, two prediction models were developed to estimate...
