Producing energy and higher value bio-products from waste wood recycled from
construction and demolition (C&D) debris has been proposed as an economically viable …

Municipal solid waste (MSW) is increasingly considered a source of energy and materials
rather than an environmental and socioeconomic problem. Incineration using the grate-firing …

Moving grate boilers are widely used in the combustion of solid biomass at industrial scale
for heat and power production. This type of systems allows to use wide range of fuels …

The extended discrete element method (XDEM) multi-physics and multi-scale simulation
platform is being developed at the Institute of Computational Engineering, the University of …

Biomass combustion is an important pathway of energy generation from renewable
resources. Even though biomass combustion is an established conversion process, there is …

This work presents an efficient model to simulate the steady operation of biomass boilers
and to analyze the thermal behavior of the system in different working scenarios. The model …

This paper presents a transient model for the simulation of biomass combustion in a fixed
bed boiler fed through particle drop. The method combines classical CFD techniques, which …
