T is the adiabatic reaction temperature of the pyro-oxidation zone. (Barman, Ghosh, and De) also considered the formation of tar and methane reforming reaction in the pyro-Oxidation zone. The adiabatic reaction temperature is found out by considering heat balance in the zone. Enthalpy of reactants + Heat loss=Enthalpy of products = The heat loss from the oxidation zone was found to be around 10% by Chern(cite). TO is the temperature of biomass fed to the gasifier and Ta is the…

found that treating the osteoblasts with unfractioned heparin significantly inhibited their growth. It was discovered that heparin did this by inhibiting the expression of FGF2 and HPSE, two important proteins for osteoblast growth. Source: Xia J, Sheng W, Pei L, Li N, Zhang Z, Wang J, Zu J, Wang N, Wang D. Effects of unfractionated heparin and rivaroxaban on the expression of heparanase and fibroblast growth factor 2 in human osteoblasts. Mol Med Rep. 2017 Jul;16(1):361-366. doi:…
