Abstract


Fast pyrolysis is a procees to convert low energy biomass into energy products such as oil. In this present research study, Computational  fluid dynamics tool employ a pramount role for optimizing heating effect in fast pyrolysis of biomass. Simulation of material for all phases is made possible by nergy model. The particle heating and its interaction mechanism with reactive gas phase is aimualetd with muti-fluid model from the granular flow in a fluidized bed reactor.

The distribution of heat in fluidized bed pyrolysis reactor is simulated with its effect on the system. The simulation model inter-relates the effect of thermal degradation of biomass with respect to energy dynamics (enthalpy and internal energy) of fast pyrolysis system. The operating condition for convective heat transfer are computed by this modelling. The study investigates the activation energy of the system with its heating effect on fast pyrolysis dynamics. It is also investigated that paramount heating features of fast pyrolysis  of biomass in a fluidized bed reactor. This method is proposed for intrinsic effect of heating flow conditions for fluidized bed reactor simulation.
