Thermodynamic Modeling of an Indirectly Heated Rotary Kiln for Biomass Slow Pyrolysis: A Methodological Framework and Illustrative Pilot-Scale Application

Biomass slow pyrolysis in indirectly heated rotary kilns involves coupled heat transfer among the external flue gas, the kiln wall, the moving solid bed, and the internally generated gas. This study presents a transparent, steady-state, one-dimensional thermodynamic modeling framework that couples these four domains an...
