[摘要]：In the present study, computational fluid dynamics is applied to investigate fast pyrolysis characteristics of woody biomass in a gravity-driven reactor. A Eulerian-Eulerian approach is adopted, including three gas species and three solid phases, for multiphase reacting flow fields between solid and gas. two-stage semiglobal reaction kinetics considering the secondary tar cracking mechanism is used for simulation of the pyrolysis reaction. The flow and pyrolysis reaction characteristics of the reactor arc, investigated, and the reaction rates of woody biomass pyrolysis arc, evaluated for streamwise locations in the reactor. Also, the inlet condition and inclination angle are changed to study their effects on the reaction. From the predicted results, it is seen that the beat transfer to biomass is governed mainly by mixing of particles, and this influences the final pyrolysis reaction.
