Pyrolysis of cylindrical woody biomass has been investigated both numerically and experimentally with emphasis on intra-particle heat transfer and tar decompostion. In experiment, wood cylinder of 8 mm diameter and 9 mm length was pyrolyzed in an infrared reactor exposed to both convective and radiative heat fluxes in argon environment. The final reactor temperature was 973 K, and heating rate was 5, 10 and 30 K/s. Three K-type thermocouples were located in the sample to measure intra-particle temperature history. The weight fraction history and intra-particle temperature profiles were measured at different runs. Tar was obtained at a cold trap. In calculation, a two-dimensional, unsteady state single particle model was developed and used to simulate the pyrolysis process. Wood cylinder was modeled as an isotropic porous solid. Solid mass conservation equations were solved by using first-order Euler Implicit Method. Gas phase mass conservation equations and energy conservation equation were discretised by finite volume method. In order to investigate the effect of intra-particle heat transfer, simulations were carried out, first, by considering temperature gradient and second, by assuming uniform temperature within the sample. When temperature gradient was considered, simulation results were in good agreement with experimental data. When uniform intra-particle temperature was used in the simulation, simulation results were quite different from experimental measurements, the degree of difference increasing with increase in heating rate. Both calculation and experiment showed tar yield decreased with increasing heating rate. This was because tar formation reaction and intra-particle tar decomposition reactions were enhanced by increase in heating rate but the latter was dominant. It was shown that intra-particle heat transfer and tar decomposition played an important role in pyrolysis characteristics of wood cylinder.
