Sensitivity analysis of three-parallel-DAEM-reaction model for describing rice straw pyrolysis

► The three-parallel-DAEM-reaction model was successfully applied to describe rice straw pyrolysis. ► The kinetic parameters of the model were estimated by using the pattern search methods. ► The local sensitivity of the model to various parameters was analyzed in the first time. ► The parameters related to cellulose decomposition are more sensitive than other parameters.
