Hey everyone,

I was wondering if someone could help me... My final year project consist of obtaining TGA data for combustion and co-combustion of a certain type of biomass.

One of the sub objectives is to use a kinetic model to determine the kinetics of the combustion reaction. Now from my reactor theory course I'm familiar with two models, namely Progressive Conversion Model and Shrinking Core Model. Are there any other models out there that will work better with biomass?

Keep in mind the biomass is wood like, thus long cylindrical particles are worked with and not spherical particles.

Thanks!
