VILLALBA VIDALES, Jorge Armando e ARZOLA DE LA PENA, Nelson. mathematical and experimental models for drying of biomass. Ing. Desarro. [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.2, pp.301-330. ISSN 0122-3461. https://doi.org/10.14482/inde.33.2.5674.
Drying of biomass prior to combustion process has now a day become a key factor in improving the efficiency of combustion processes in industrial and residential sectors. Given the growing importance of this process, the researchers have developed a large number of models, both theoretical and experimental, looking to predict the drying kinetics of different types of biomass. Although there have been great advances in the development of models, there is still no unified model to predict the temperature and moisture profiles for different materials. These difficulties arise because of the wide range of biomaterials and the great differences existing between processes. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the state of the art on models, both mathematical and experimental, currently used to simulate the drying process of biomass. We also propose key elements must have a comprehensive unified model on this topic.
