Description
In this study thermal decomposition and combustion processes of microwave pre-treated straw pellets are modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics numerical software. 2D axi-symmetric geometry of the combustion reactor is considered and a turbulent, reacting flow is modeled in a steady-state conditions. It is found found that the microwave pre-treatment of biomass significantly influences overall heat output of the device and the temperature distribution in the reactor.
