NREL Simulates the Biofuel Energy Production Process

能源

Peter Ciesielski, NREL, CO, USA

热解是一种正处于试商用阶段的热化学工艺,它能够将木材等可再生植物性材料转化为液体生物燃料。为了将热解变为一种低成本的生物燃料转化方法,美国国家可再生能源实验室 (NREL) 正借助多物理场仿真来更好地理解及优化这一工艺。目前,他们已经使用 COMSOL Multiphysics® 开发了一款与热解相关的传热及传质计算模型,模型包含了至今为止最精确生物质颗粒几何。后续可以在模型中加入化学反应及相变来继续改进这一工艺,以便开发一个完整的热解模型来提升大型反应器的性能,为生物燃料的大规模生产扫清成本障碍。
