Empirical Model Development of Biomass Fuel Pellet Strength

Biomass is an organic material that can be used as a fuel it is a promising alternative for clean fuel production. However, by simply taking the biomass as a fuel without any improvement will not give the best source of energy because it will cause instability combustion, less durability, costly in...
