We report results from a multiscale computational modeling study of biomass fast pyrolysis in an experimental laboratory reactor that combined the hydrodynamics predicted by two-fluid model (TFM) with predictions finite element method (FEM) simulation heat and mass transfer chemical reactions within particles. The pyrolyzer consisted 2 in. (5.1 cm) diameter bubbling fluidized bed (FBR) fed milled pine pellets. FBR included estimates residence times gas particles spend before they exit. A...
