An investigation into the use of CFD to model the co-firing of Jatropha curcas seed cake with coal (2018)
Journal Article
Madanayake, B. N., Gan, S., Eastwick, C., & Ng, H. K. (2018). An investigation into the use of CFD to model the co-firing of Jatropha curcas seed cake with coal. International Journal of Green Energy, 15(11), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1080/15435075.2018.1525559

Jatropha curcas seed cake is a potential candidate for co-firing with coal. Combustion modelling using Ansys Fluent 14.0 was carried out to assess the combustion and co-firing characteristics of untorrefied and torrefied Jatropha curcas seed cake. Th...

Applicability of mechanical tests for biomass pellet characterisation for bioenergy applications (2018)
Journal Article
Williams, O., Taylor, S., Lester, E., Kingman, S., Giddings, D., & Eastwick, C. (2018). Applicability of mechanical tests for biomass pellet characterisation for bioenergy applications. Materials, 11(8), Article 1329. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma11081329

In this paper, the applicability of mechanical tests for biomass pellet characterisation was investigated. Pellet durability, quasi-static (low strain rate), and dynamic (high strain rate) mechanical tests were applied to mixed wood, eucalyptus, sunf...
