(2009-05-15)Petroleum coke or petcoke, a refinery byproduct, has generally been considered as an unusable byproduct because of its high sulfur content. However energy industries now view petcoke as a potential feedstock for power ...
-
(2017-12-12)Fuel properties impact the combustion and emissions behavior of diesel engines through their influence on the physical process associated with fuel injection, entrainment and fuel-air mixing, as well as by changes to the ...
-
(2015-05-08)Lake Botanisk, a small isolated body of water that was once a part of the moat that surrounded Copenhagen, Denmark, has remained relatively undisturbed for four centuries. Due to this long undisturbed record and restricted ...
-
(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, ...
-
(2012-11-21)Combustion assisted gravity drainage (CAGD) is an integrated horizontal well air injection process for recovery and upgrading of heavy oil and bitumen from tar sands. Short-distance air injection and direct mobilized oil ...
-
(2016-05-03)Multiple vital industries, especially those in the energy sector, are vulnerable to unexpected detonation events. Extremely destructive and difficult to predict, the processes by which they are formed and the limits over ...
-
(2012-07-16)The present work aimed at designing a thermally efficient microreactor system coupling methanol steam reforming with methanol combustion for autothermal hydrogen production. A preliminary study was performed by analyzing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)An engine cycle simulation for a coal-fueled internal combustion, reciprocating engine was developed. The primary objective of this work was to develop the simulation for evaluating the viability of coal fuels for engines. ...
-
(2022-04-18)Engines operating on detonation-combustion cycles promise the high-performance, efficient propulsion necessary for sustained air breathing super- and hyper- sonic flight. Development of engines operating on such cycles ...
-
(2018-08-22)An Ultra-High Efficiency Gas Turbine (UHEGT) technology is developed in this study. In UHEGT, the combustion process is no longer contained in isolation between the compressor and turbine, rather distributed in multiple ...
-
(2018-03-22)Diesel engine combustion is heavily impacted by the chemical and physical properties of the fuel being used. Fuel composition plays a role in the in-cylinder behavior of the fuel and the emissions produced during combustion. ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Methane gas is a highly prized fuel in the world. However, the low burning velocity and instability of a flame creates some problems for the burning of natural gas. By applying an electric field, a means may be provided ...
-
(2014-06-25)With increasingly stringent governmental regulations on engine emissions such as oxides of nitrogen (NO_(X)) and particulate matter (PM), there is a strong motivation to decrease the production and release of these harmful ...
-
(2017-05-09)he energy for sustaining life is released through the oxidation of glucose, fats, and proteins. A part of the energy released within each cell is stored as chemical energy of Adenosine Tri- Phosphate molecules, which is ...
-
(2009-05-15)Conventional combustion processes are known to be highly irreversible processes. The potential to obtain useful work from the fuel is degraded during the combustion process. For example, for a reciprocating internal ...
-
(2011-02-22)Using a hydrogen donor and a catalyst for upgrading and increasing oil recovery during in situ combustion is a known and proven technique. Based on research conducted on this process, it is clear that widespread practice ...
-
(2012-07-16)Propellants based on hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN) have shown promise as a hydrazine replacement because of their comparably low toxicity, low vapor pressure, high specific impulse and high density. Herein, the recent ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2018-06-19)Multicomponent fuels, such as kerosene and diesel fuel, are the primary source of energy powering the engines used in the transportation sector. The study of these fuels is essential to improving engine efficiency and ...
