Estimated Heats of Combustion of Biofuels Based on Wood and Wood-Waste Pyrolysis Products

Resumo

An attempt was made to estimate theoretically the heat of combustion of a proposed liquid fuel based on products from high-temperature treatment of plant feedstocks. The most complete qualitative and quantitative composition of the biofuel was established. The lower heat of combustion of its components and the specific air consumption for combustion of the mix were calculated. The obtained data were compared with the heats of combustion of conventional oil fuels.
