Study of Distributed Activation Energy Model Using Bivariate Distribution Function, f (E1, E2)

This paper describes the influence of relevant parameters to biomass pyrolysis on the numerical solution of nth-order distributed activation energy model (DAEM) using Frank's copula. In addition, the initial distribution function f(E) is replaced by a continuous joint distribution function. Bi-variant distribution of activation energies E1 and E2 are assumed to represent the primary and the secondary pyrolysis reactions respectively. Temperature history is considered to vary linear with time. Thermoanalytical data is experimentally derived from TG/DTG analysis.
