Abstract: This investigation explores theoretical and experimental trends in biomass char diameter during gasification by collecting essentially continuous particle size data as a function of time for several fuels under many conditions. A theoretical model describes these variations for an arbitrary char-forming particle over its entire reaction history. The model involves dimensionless exponential parameters that accommodate sintering to swelling. The parameter values do not depend on time or char conversion and provide effective means of describing char diameter.
