Negligiblek's Pyrolysis Empirical Model

Model for Empirical Knowledge

I have zero experience with pyrolysis. Since Marcin asked me to lead this project, I realized I'd need to know what I was talking about when I attempted to gain more experienced Pyrolysis Collaborators.

I did not study anything or look at many designs before I began. I simply wanted to build a model and see what issues arise which others have experienced but don't really list in their experimental findings. Nor did I do any calculations of any sort. I winged it. If it blows up on me, I'll do more homework (call me Sir Francis as in Bacon: hopefully not burnt bacon).
