Abstract:The paper deals with a porous network model based simulation of effects of microwave pre-treatment of biomass pellets. Different heating regimesrapid and sloware compared; it is shown that rapid heating regime results in pressure build-up reaching values that cause breakage of the biomass material. Slow heating regime results in much lower maximum pressure values. As a second stage, ignition of pre-treated and non pretreated granules is compared. It is demonstrated that the pre-treated granule ignites consider… Show more
