Understanding the energy requirement for biomass size reduction would be very significant for the process of converting the biomass to bioenergy. A hammermill was used for size reduction operations. One 12.7 mm size screen was applied to hammer mill for different particle size reduction. Torque Sensor was connected to the engine shaft to measure the transfer of torque and engine rotational speed RPM. Oak wood chips was the tested material. New surface generated by the cuts was evaluated. The research results will be used in practical applications, which are designing an ideal biomass size reduction apparatus for energy efficiency and better economics.
