Applicability of Mechanical Tests for Biomass Pellet Characterisation for Bioenergy Applications

Applicability of Mechanical Tests for Biomass Pellet Characterisation for Bioenergy Applications

In this paper, the applicability of mechanical tests for biomass pellet characterisation was investigated. Pellet durability, quasi-static (low strain rate), and dynamic (high strain rate) mechanical tests were applied to mixed wood, eucalyptus, sunflower, miscanthus, and steam exploded and microwav...
