Process intensification is critical to increase product yields and reduce external power consumption in biomass pyrolysis. Computational fluid dynamics offers great possibilities for fast and economical process intensification of biomass pyrolysis. This succinct but in-depth current-perspective feature article discusses the major trends and roadblocks with respect to CFD-aided process intensification of biomass pyrolysis. Major trends such as multiscale coupling, fast parametric analysis and design, and coupling between CFD and process modeling, are reviewed. Major roadblocks such as lack of accurate chemical kinetics, and difficulty in accurate description of microstructural change, are pointed out. It is believed that the clarification of these directions and problems will lead to a more objective but efficient application of CFD to process intensification of biomass pyrolysis.
