A comparative study for wood, sewage sludge, and newspaper print pyrolysis was conducted. The models were numerically solved by using the fourth order Runge�Kutta method in Matlab-7. It was also observed that newspaper print acquired least pyrolysis time to attain optimum bio-oil yield followed by wood and sewage sludge under the identical conditions of temperature and heating rate. Thus, at 10 K/min, the optimum pyrolysis time was 21.0, 23.8, and 42.6 min for newspaper print, wood, and sewage sludge, respectively, whereas the maximum bio-oil yield predicted was 68, 52, and 36, respectively. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. date: 2016 publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84980007087&doi=10.1080%2f15567036.2015.1007404&partnerID=40&md5=38ac213897dbfe4bd5eed1d4d9cb352d id_number: 10.1080/15567036.2015.1007404 full_text_status: none publication: Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization and Environmental Effects volume: 38 number: 14 pagerange: 2065-2071 refereed: TRUE issn: 15567036 citation: Mahmood, H. and Moniruzzaman, M. and Yusup, S. and Khan, M.I. and Khan, M.J.
