Tóm tắt

Biorefineries are faced with various material flow challenges during feeding and handling, due to inherent variability and inhomogeneity of biomass feedstocks. This impacts the efficiency of refinery processes and unit operations. Proper characterization of bulk properties allows for optimal process design and reduction of overall costs. This work is aimed at evaluating the physical and mechanical properties that impact bulk flow of loblolly pine. Cyclic axial compression tests are performed to elucidate consolidation behavior under different stress conditions. The results are then used to develop correlations between material parameters (particle size, tissue type, moisture content) and Elastic Modulus of bulk samples.
