(2023-05-05)Solid deposits form when a lubricant undergoes thermal breakdown due to high-temperature conditions and can cause adverse operational effects within engines. A collection device designed to allow coke to form on its surface ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Spray pyrolysis for ceramic powder preparation was studied, theoretically and experimentally. The forming mechanism for derived particles using air or argon as carrier was established based on the experimental results ...
-
(2017-07-24)There are numerous opportunities in the lifecycle of oil extraction, transport, and use where it can potentially contaminate the environment, in particular water and soil. Various technologies have been developed to remediate ...
-
(2015-08-05)Government regulations on emission standards and constantly fluctuating fuel availability and prices have led to the need of more readily usable and available models for power generating combustors. A common, versatile, ...
-
(2012-11-30)Because of the limited supply of imported crude oil and environmental degradation, renewable energy is becoming commercially feasible and environmentally desirable. In this research, biological and thermal (pyrolysis) ...
-
(2014-10-31)One of the most pressing technical challenges in the production of biofuels from biomass is the unavailability of economical processes to remove 30-45% (w/w) of the oxygen that is present in biomass-derived oxygenates. The ...
-
(2014-04-25)Mesquite and juniper can be beneficially utilized for gasification and combustion applications. Torrefaction has been considered to be one of the thermal pretreatment options to improve the chemical (e.g. heat content) and ...
-
(2012-02-14)Domestic production of bioenergy by utilizing set-aside land in Taiwan can reduce Taiwan’s reliance on expensive and politically insecure foreign fossil fuels while also reducing the combustion of fossil fuels, which emit ...
-
Fixed Bed Counter Current Gasification of Mesquite and Juniper Biomass Using Air-steam as Oxidizer (2012-11-27)Thermal gasification of biomass is being considered as one of the most promising technologies for converting biomass into gaseous fuel. Here we present results of gasification, using an adiabatic bed gasifier with air, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Most practical combustor systems such as boilers, gas turbines, Diesel engines, rocket engines, etc. use liquid and/or solid fuels as the energy source. Combustion intensity is controlled by the gasification, mixing and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Pyrolysis exhibits promise as a process for the conversion of biomass residues into chemical and fuel feedstocks. The oil product derived from this process, namely pyrolytic oil, is a complex mixture of many components ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The kinetics of formation and isotopic composition of methane generated by pyrolysis at 500°C from coal samples of different ranks, crude oil fractions and some pure organic compounds have been used to study the mechanisms ...
-
(2016-12-08)Agricultural waste is considered an alternative energy resource, in addition to raw biomass. Besides serving as an energy source, agricultural waste is environmental friendly and cost-effective. This study provided a ...
-
(2013-05-01)Recent developments in converting biomass to bio-chemicals and liquid fuels provide a promising sight to an emerging biofuels industry. Biomass can be converted to energy via thermochemical and biochemical pathways. Thermal ...
-
(2009-05-15)Of all the trace elements emitted during coal combustion, mercury is most problematic. Mercury from the atmosphere enters into oceanic and terrestrial waters. Part of the inorganic Hg in water is converted into organic Hg ...
-
(2012-07-16)Pyrolysis is the thermo-chemical degradation of biomass in an oxygen-free environment to product liquid, gaseous, and solid co-products. The liquid co-product, known as bio-oil, can be used as a transportation fuel. The ...
-
(2012-07-16)The need for clean potable water and sustainable energy are two current and pressing issues with implications affecting the global population. Renewed interests in alternative energy have prompted researchers to investigate ...
-
Many problems are caused by coking within engines with extreme operating conditions. Coking is a type of deposit formation and can interfere with reliable fluid flow and a machine’s mechanical movements, increase wear ...
-
(2013-12-02)Increasing environmental concerns over greenhouse gas emissions, depleting petroleum reserves and rising oil prices has stimulated interest on biofuels production from biomass sources. This study explored on biofuels ...
