AB  - The higher heating value (HHV) and exergy of ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic 
      solvent pretreated watermelon rind (WMR) biomass were investigated. Thereafter, 
      the co-pyrolysis of the WMR biomass and coal blends was studied. The pyrolysis 
      kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of the WMR-coal blends were determined 
      using four isoconversional models (Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, 
      Friedman and Starink). The HHVs of the pretreated WMR ranged between 12.73 and 
      19.28 MJ/kg, while the exergy value for the raw and pretreated WMR were 16.08 and 
      21.55 MJ/kg, respectively. The lower heating value related exergy had the 
      greatest influence on the overall exergy of the WMR. The values of the 
      pre-exponential factor showed variations in wide range, and the change in entropy 
      of the system displayed both negative and positive entropies. The activation 
      energy and enthalpy varied directly with the amount of coal in the blends. 
      Amongst the isoconversional model methods, Friedman model was the best predictor 
      of the kinetic parameters.
