| Abstract: | Experimental tests were carried on a pilot retort to gather information on the temperature evolution inside batch retorts during the venting stage. to fit the coming-up curves the equation for the response of an over-damped second-order system to a step input was proposed. the parameters that characterize this equation were related to steam flow, initial temperature and retort load. Results allow the prediction of coming-up curves for different operating conditions. |
