Studies on combustion behaviours of single biomass particles using a visualization method (2017)
Journal Article

Combustion behaviours of single particles (125–150 μm) of eucalyptus, pine and olive residue were investigated by means of a transparent visual drop-tube furnace, electrically heated to 1073 K, and a high-speed camera coupling with a long distance mi...

Benefits of dry comminution of biomass pellets in a knife mill (2017)
Journal Article

The potential benefits of dry comminution in a knife mill for a diverse range of biomass 6 pellets are explored. The impact of dry comminution on energy consumption, particle size and shape, 7 is examined as well as the link between milling and mecha...

Mechanical degradation of biomass wood pellets during long term stockpile storage (2017)
Journal Article

This paper quantifies and assesses the mechanical degradation of white wood and steam exploded wood pellets in indoor and outdoor stockpile storage over a twenty-one month period in the UK. The indoor stored steam exploded wood pellets on the surface... Read More about Mechanical degradation of biomass wood pellets during long term stockpile storage.

Overcoming the caking phenomenon in olive mill wastes (2017)
Journal Article

The use of olive mill wastes (orujillo) within coal fired power stations in the UK has led to unexpected difficulties with material caking within the fuel handling plant. This study replicated orujillo caking on a laboratory scale using a planetary b... Read More about Overcoming the caking phenomenon in olive mill wastes.

Combustion behavior profiling of single pulverized coal particles in a drop tube furnace through high-speed imaging and image analysis (2017)
Journal Article

Experimental investigations into the combustion behaviors of single pulverized coal particles are carried out based on high-speed imaging and image processing techniques. A high-speed video camera is employed to acquire the images of coal particles d...
