Thermal Transport Properties of Tropical Woods originating from Gabon: Okoume, Bilinga, Movingui, Ozigo and Nove with Transient Plane Source Analyser
Short Introductive summary
Wood waste management is crucial for sustainability, and wood-based biomass, including tree bark, trunks, and leaves, can be used to generate energy through various conversion technologies. Gabon, a Central African country, has a variety of wood types, including Okoume, Bilinga, Movingui, Ozigo, and Nove. These woods are valued for their unique characteristics, making them ideal for plywood manufacturing, heavy construction, and flooring. To explore their potential as biofuel feedstocks, researchers are investigating their thermal transport properties, such as thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat capacity. The study aims to assess the viability and sustainability of these wood samples as renewable feedstocks for bioenergy production. The thermal transport properties of these wood samples are currently under investigation by our research team.
