Abstract:
This articles deal with the thermophysical properties of eucalyptus and corncob. The two biomass namely as corncob and eucalyptus was studied by using a thermo-gravimetric analyzer. The kinetic study is carried out by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) and influences of heating rate (10, 15, and 20 °C min-1) on biomass is evaluated. The findings revealed that activation energy of corncob and eucalyptus varied with mass conversion rate. The average activation energy for eucalyptus and corncob was 201 and 68 KJ mol-1. The results showed that corncob was sensitive to the heat, having the lowest activation energy. Therefore, it is best suited feedstock for gasifier engine system for power generation in a remote area like village and hill station.
