I am simulating biomass pyrolysis in aspen plus. I have defined my biomass as a combination of Cellulose, Hemicellulose and Lignin (LiGH, LIGO, LIGC). when I run the simulation in CSTR, LIGC and LIGO are not converting at all while the other components were converted. As a result I got very low char yield. I have checked the kinetic parameters of LIGC and LIGO decomposition reactions, but the kinetics looks correct. Can I get any suggestion please?. Thank you!
Dear Fekadu Mosisa Wako
Did you check the property package and the relevant properties of the new components you defined??
Dear Junior Lorenzo Llanes
Thank you very much. Yes, I checked. There is one thing I realized after I posted my inquiry was that when I changed the reacting phase to Liquid & solid, the component get reacted.
@Junior Lorenzo Llanes, Thanks again. I am not still clear about the reacting phases. It is affecting the mass balance. I would love to have your comment and suggestion. Thanks!
