Experimental and numerical verifications of new methods to predict gasification kinetics of char from MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) components using the TGA
DownloadFall 2021
Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) is a standard state-of-the-art instrument used for investigating char gasification kinetics. However, one major flaw of the TGA is the build-up of a stagnant gas region between the empty space of the crucible mouth and the char sample layer which leads to poor...
