The current energy crisis, depletion of fossil fuels, and global climate change have made it
imperative to find alternative sources of energy that are both economically sustainable and …

Agglomeration inhibits the smooth operation of fluidized-bed reactors by forming relatively
large agglomerates to interrupt fluidization during gasification or combustion processes …

The oxidation of small particles (size 200 μm) of char from oak has been studied, by adding
a small batch of them to an electrically heated bed of inert, silica sand, fluidised by mixtures …

Further improvement of steam parameters is essential to developing biomass-fired
circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler technology, which necessitates solving severe …

Wood pellets produced by cold-pressing reduces energy consumption, but also generates
more pellet powders. In order to achieve the complete utilization of woody biomass, this …

Understanding the hydrodynamic behavior of irregular-shaped particles is vital for
optimizing fluidized bed systems. In this study, the effect of binary and ternary biomass …

This research focuses on the combustion of biomass char in fluidized beds of various
particulate solids, which, under the conditions of the reaction, were either inert or capable of …

This study investigates the bed agglomeration during fast pyrolysis of bio-oil derived fuels in
a fluidized-bed reactor at 800° C, including crude glycerol/methanol/bio-oil (CGMB) blend …

The present study employs the CFD-DEM method coupled with cohesive force and chemical
reaction sub-models to investigate the hydrodynamic and thermal behaviors in a biomass …

For description of the fluidization state of fluidized beds, both time-domain and frequency-
domain analyses of high-frequency pressure fluctuations are established approaches …
