Thermal Modelling of the Torrefaction Process Using the Finite Element Method

This paper focuses on the thermal characteristic of the torrefied pinecone pellets. The resistivity heating system was used for torrefaction purposes. The torrefaction was conducted at 523 K for different holding times of 5, 10 and 15 minutes. The thermal behaviour of the pinecone pellet was numeric...
