Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was carried out to determine the trajectories and residence time of burning rice husk particles in the fluidised bed combustor (FBC) at different secondary air flowrates. In FBC, the intra and extra-particle mass transfer resistance of the oxidising agent...
