Abstract

This paper deals with the influence of some parameters relevant to biomass pyrolysis on the numerical solutions of the nonisothermal n^th order distributed activation energy model using the Rayleigh distribution. Investigated parameters are the integral upper limit, the frequency factor, the heating rate, the reaction order and the scale parameters of the Rayleigh distribution. The influence of these parameters has been considered for the determination of the kinetic parameters of the non-isothermal n^th order Rayleigh distribution from the experimentally derived thermoanalytical data of biomass pyrolysis.
