[AlongeSanmi]

 

I am Alonge Oluwasanmi from Elizade University, Nigeria. I am working on the Carbonization of Biomass (Sawdust) using Numerical Simulation. I have tried several methods but not having a headway. 
 
The objectives of the simulation are to monitor the thermal conversion during the carbonization process and also monitor mass fraction and fixed carbon of the biomass with time. I am trying to use species transport to study the carbonization process but I am not getting any result. I had already done the hydrodynamics study but to proceed further to the thermal conversion of the biomass is a problem.
 
Please, could someone help me with steps that could be of help or detailed guidelines that I could follow to get the expected results.
 
Find attached schematic diagram of the problem.
 
Thank you.
