...Nesrin Ozalp This paper presents energy end-use model of the U.S. Chemical Industry. The model allocates combustible fuel and renewable energy inputs among generic end-uses including intermediate conversions through on-site power and steam generation. The results of this model provide the basis...

...Peter L. Rozelle; Sarma V. Pisupati; Alan W. Scaroni The fluidized bed combustion (FBC) process, used in power generation, can handle a variety of fuels. However, the range of fuels that can be accommodated by an FBC boiler system is affected by the ability of the fuel, sorbent, and ash-handling...

.... The calculations were carried out under isobaric (1 atm) and isothermal conditions using cellulose as the waste fuel. For each isothermal case results were obtained for the effect of feed gas composition. Various mixtures of steam/cellulose [mol/mol] and oxygen/steam [mol/mol] were examined to determine conditions...

...Q. Jiang; C. Zhang; J. Jiang The analysis of the combustion process and NOx emission in a gas-fired regenerative industrial furnace has been carried out numerically. The effect of the additive, methanol CH 3 OH , to the fuel on the NOx emission is studied. A moment closure method with the assumed β...

... conducted to investigate the effects of engine operating and geometrical parameters, including fuel injection timing, fuel injection duration, and piston bowl depth, on the NOx formation and the thermal efficiency of the DI Diesel engine. The tradeoff relationships between the reduction in NOx...

... in the optimization process. Optimum curves of the engine torque versus the engine rotational speed and the engine rotational speed versus the motorcycle speed for the fuel consumption and the carbon monoxide (CO) emission are obtained for a motorcycle with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The engine...

...Anugerah Widiyanto; Seizo Kato; Naoki Maruyama; Yoshimasa Kojima This paper describes the LCA environmental impacts resulting from fuel fired co-generation systems using our NETS (Numerical Eco-load Total Standard, [1]) scheme having GUI (Graphic User Interface). Following a brief introduction...

...E. J. Anthony; D. Y. Lu; J. Q. Zhang Liquid fuels such as bitumen, tars, and pitches are byproducts of heavy oil upgrading processes, and are usually contaminated with high sulphur and sometimes heavy metals contents as well. Fluidized bed combustion (FBC) appears to be a promising technology...

...S. Gouli; A. Serdari; S. Stournas; E. Lois This paper describes some of the recent work carried out in our laboratory regarding the effects of novel nitrogen compounds in gasoline and diesel fuel on ignition quality and on pollutant emissions. Emphasis is given in studying chemical structures...

...O. Piepers; P. P. Breithaupt; A. B. N. van Beelen Stabilization of the combustion of natural gas in high-temperature processes by using the auto-ignition of the fuel when mixed with highly preheated air is well known and has found application on many occasions. Reasonably strong internal flue gas...

... by the authors as a numerical measure. Two kinds of environmental loads respecting fossil fuel depletion as input resources to the system and global warming due to CO 2 emission as output are taken into account in the present eco-criterion, in which the total eco-load (EcL) value is calculated from the summation...

... is not only to capture CO 2 in the stage of combustion, but also to increase thermal efficiency of the power plant. The chemical-looping combustor in the proposed system consists of a fuel reactor (fuel reacts with metal oxide) and an air reactor (the resulting metal reacts with oxygen in air). This new...

...Masataka Arai; Kenji Amagai; Toshio Mogi Fundamental characteristics of the catalytic combustion of vaporized kerosene spray were experimentally investigated. This study is a part of the development of a ceramic gas turbine engine for automobiles. Kerosene was used as a test fuel and its spray...

...J. S. Ervin, Mem. ASME; S. Zabarnick; T. F. Williams Flowing aviation fuel is used as a coolant in military aircraft. Dissolved O 2 reacts with the heated fuel to form undesirable surface deposits which disrupt the normal flow. For purposes of aircraft design, it is important to understand...
