Thermal analysis in numerical thermodynamic modeling of solid fuel conversion

Using the Ozawa method to study the thermally initiated curing kinetics of vinyl ester resin

“…The thermally initiated curing kinetic study always starts with a basic equation of the rate of conversion (da/dt) equation: 11,12…”

“…Here, the experimental data were from eqn (1) and DSC curves in Fig. 2; the calculated data were from the thermally initiated curing kinetic equations, e.g., eqn (8) for VER-0.5, eqn (9) for VER-1, eqn (10) for VER-2, eqn (11) for VER-3, eqn (12) for VER-4, and eqn (13) for VER-5. It can be seen that they were in good agreements with each other (Fig.…”

Mathematical modelling and optimization of biomass-plastic fixed-bed downdraft co-gasification process

“…Ethylene in pyrolysis gas is formed only from plastic and its fraction in pyrolysis products also is constant (30% on organic matter basis). Two compositions of wood were used: the first was taken from paper [7] to compare modeling results with experiment (wood-1); the second is averaged wood composition based on our previous researches [8] (wood-2).…”

“…Kinetic parameters of these reactions are listed at table 2 [8,9]. Decomposition of tar has the same kinetic parameters for both fuels.…”

Development of the unified model for identification of composition of products from incineration, gasification, and slow pyrolysis

“…As a rule, gasification is considered as a separate process of thermo-chemical transformations. This approach is accompanied by the use of special methods [6]. This paper underlines the existence of heterophase interactions and accompanying problems of process modeling.…”
