Assessing the representativeness of durability tests for wood pellets by DEM Simulation: Comparing conditions in a durability test with transfer chutes

Dust generation when handling wood pellets is related to the durability of the product, in other words the wear rate of particles subject to forces. During transport, storage and handling wood pellets undergo different forces when interacting with different pieces of equipment.<br/><br/>This paper assesses the representativeness of the tumbling...
