In CFD modeling, while the isothermal assumption has conventionally been coupled for updating particle temperature, its applicability diminishes when dealing with thermally thick particles. A thermal-thick discrete phase model (DPM) is developed to simulate pyrolysis of biomass particle group at hig...
