Abstract:
... Friction between wood particles can be a critical property when designing processing equipment for creating cellulosic biofuels and similar natural products. Also, as wood processing is likely to occur year-round, understanding the friction between wet as well as dry wood particles can help design and model equipment, such as screw feeders. Here, a tribo-rheometry method was developed using a comm ...

Abstract:
... Short rotation woody crops (SRWCs) can be a sustainable solution for producing biomass for bioenergy and, at the same time, mitigating CO₂ emissions. Although the contribution SRWCs can give to the transition to a low-carbon energy economy, farmers are hesitant to introduce them, as they have a low added value and there are uncertain economic prospects for cultivating SRWCs. Therefore, this study ...
