A fairly general model is proposed for the pyrolysis of a single solid particle accompanied by consecutive reactions. The model not only takes into consideration the transient heat transfer, mass transfer, and chemical reaction simultaneously but also the functional dependencies of various parameters on the variation of the solids concentration and temperature in the particle. The effects of the heat of reaction, Thiele modulus, and rate of reaction on the solids reactant conversion, concentration profiles and temperature profiles are analyzed and graphically presented.
