This review reports the state of the art in modeling chemical and physical processes of wood
and biomass pyrolysis. Chemical kinetics are critically discussed in relation to primary …

Thermal induced pyrolysis and the following flaming ignition of solid combustible play
crucial roles in determining the occurrence of fire and the subsequent flame spread. This …

This text covers the four forms of fire: diffusion flames, smoldering, spontaneous combustion,
and premixed flames. Using a quantitative approach, the text introduces the scientific …

This paper presents a generalized pyrolysis model that can be used to simulate the
gasification of a variety of combustible solids encountered in fires. The model, Gpyro, can be …

Cone calorimeter tests conducted at three levels of heat flux, 25, 50 and 75 kW/m 2, were
employed to investigate the combustion and charring properties of five common …

This paper experimentally and theoretically examines the horizontal burning of four species
of wood exposed to incident heat fluxes of 25–75 kW/m2 with their grain oriented either …

This study investigated the combustion properties of corn stover-derived hydrochars using
cone calorimeter. Hydrochars were prepared by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) at 200 …

Co-hydrothermal carbonization (Co-HTC) thermochemically transforms multiple solid
feedstocks into energy-dense hydrochar. Herein, this study investigated the corn stover …

This paper deals with the thermal degradation of a black poly (methyl) methacrylate (PMMA)
in a cone calorimeter (CC) in air with a piloted ignition. The influence of several heat fluxes …

Owing to the strong public concerns about environmental protection and potential energy
crisis (fossil fuels), there is a global trend of substitution of petrochemical-based polymers …
