From literature, a great amount of work on biomass pyrolysis, including modeling of pyrolysis, has been found over the last two decades. However, the most of modeling works deals with low heat flux conditions or an extremely high heating rate (flash pyrolysis), or focus on the prediction of product distribution [1-3]. The comprehensive... 

The optimum yield of liquid product is obtained in the coal-to-liquids process at approximately 1075 F. A typical product distribution for coal-to-liquida processing using this coal is 56% char, 35% tar, 7% gas, and 2% water. The residence time for this process is also kept as short as possible which maximizes the yield and prevents further cracking of the liquid product. The effect of flash pyrolysis on the liquid yield is shown by the fact that the tar and light oil yield for this coal from...
