@majortom321 there little if any decomposition taking place here, only vaporization (a physical change based on BP) and as far as the "fuel" being oxidized that is negligible to none for there ins't enough O2 and the "fuel" isn't hot enough to spontaneously oxidize. Take for example the burning of a campfire. The wood itself doesn't burn, but rather, the methanol etc. inside it vaporizes from the initial heat and burns at the surface due to iginition from open flame, leaving carbon(coals)
theres no combustion because the glass seperates that flame from the fuel. The fuel decomposes but does not combust.
The fuel is broken down by oxidation and pyrolyisis, as it takes place in an O2 environment.>
am I right with my understanding?

On that given mass, can you give me the estimated power/energy input?
Can you also provide me an estimated volume of output bio oil, together with its energy or BTU content please if you have the data?
