Mathematically simulated transportation of pellets and olive stones

Production of biomass in the canary islands isat a very low level,necessitating imports from the iberian peninsulain order to keep up supplies - according to a report by idae (institute for energy diversification and saving),the canaries are the lowest consumers of energy through biomass in all of spain. as a consequence,consumption of biomass in the canary islands is insignificant due to the lack of exploitation of local resources and geographical expense provisions which are down to the reliance on resources located on the peninsula. therefore,the transport conditions depend on the environmental conditions and the sorption capacity of the biomass. the experimental equilibrium moisture content data were subsequently fitted by mathematical sorption models,which is necessary for determining the best conditions for transportation. non-linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the models' parameters. the validation of the two selected models was carried out using statistical parameters,the mean relative percentage error (e %) and the coefficient of determination (r2).
