CSTR modeling approach to estimate fast pyrolysis yields from bubbling fluidized bed reactors.
The data/ folder contains files related to experiments or data obtained from
literature. Particle size distribution data taken from Figure 2 in the
Carpenter 2014 paper is available in 05mm.csv (0.5 mm sieve) and 2mm.csv (2
mm sieve). Characteristics of the particles (surface area, volume) are provided
in sizeinfo.txt.

cstr.py is reactor model for one or more CSTR reactors in series at
steady-state conditions.
cstr_dist.py is CSTR model accounting for a distribution of particle sizes.
cstr_rtd.py is CSTR model and RTD model for different number of stages.
cstr_static.py is CSTR model accounting for a single particle size.
cstr_taug.py compares tar yields for different gas residence times.
