Efficiency of Combustion Plant

1994
In Chapter 4 the idea of an energy balance around a combustion system was introduced and developed to give a simple procedure for calculating the adiabatic temperature of a flame. The general energy balance of the system was $$CV + {H_R} = {H_{\text{P}}} + {Q_{\text{c}}} + {Q_{\text{u}}}$$ (6.1) and this expression can be used to explore the ...

Electrorheology Leads to Efficient Combustion

Energy & Fuels, 2008
Improving engine efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions are extremely important. Here, we report our fuel injection technology based on the new physics principle that proper application of electrorheology can reduce the viscosity of petroleum fuels. A small device is thus introduced just before the fuel injection for the engine, producing a strong

Ecological efficiency in glycerol combustion

Applied Thermal Engineering, 2014
Abstract Growth in biodiesel production has led to a large surplus of glycerol. So the fundamental question arises: What can be done with glycerol? This is one of the main reasons current research is aimed at developing technologies for the conversion and/or use of glycerol in order to enhance the biodiesel industry and dramatically improve its ...

Predicting combustion efficiency of fluidized bed combustion with fines recycling

Energy & Fuels, 1991
Fluidized bed combustion shows potential for burning high sulfur coal and other low-grade fuels efficiently and cleanly. In order to predict the effect of recycling fines on combustion efficiency in the current fluidized bed combustor at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC), mathematical equations were developed to transform ...

Gas‐Dynamic Method of Determining Combustion Efficiency in a Model with Combustion

Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves, 2004
A method of determining combustion efficiency and test‐gas parameters along the combustion chamber with a supersonic velocity of air at the entrance is considered. The composition and properties of the test gas are determined by a thermodynamic calculation with allowance for dissociation and temperature dependence of the energy of internal degrees of ...

Tutoring System for the Efficient Driving of Combustion Vehicles

IEEE Revista Iberoamericana de Tecnologias del Aprendizaje, 2013
One of the sectors that currently generates pollution is road transport. Every day, millions of tons of CO2 are released into the atmosphere because of this type of human activity. Governments see the reduction of such emissions as a priority-which, according to various studies, could be achieved through more efficient driving.

Efficient and Clean Diesel Combustion

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1975
<div class="htmlview paragraph">Since the available combination of equations describing the kinetic reactions during diesel combustion a) is complicated, b) falls short in predicting actual NO-emissions, an attempt is made with a simplified model to correlate the squared temperature profile of the cycle over time, integrated above the level of a ...

Coal combustion efficiency in CFB boiler

China Particuology, 2005
Abstract The carbon content in the fly ash from most Chinese circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers is much higher than expected, thus directly influencing the combustion efficiency. In the present paper, carbon burnout was investigated both in field tests and laboratory experiments. The effect of coal property, operation condition, gas-solid mixing,

Conversion Efficiency of Thermoelectric Combustion Systems

IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 2007
A theoretical procedure is developed for evaluating the conversion efficiency of a thermoelectric system that uses combusted heat as its thermal input. The effect of heat recirculation on the conversion efficiency of the thermoelectric combustion system is investigated based on five typical configurations.

Efficient catalytic combustion in integrated micropellistors

Measurement Science and Technology, 2009
This paper analyses two of the key issues of the development of catalytic combustion-type sensors: the selection and production of active catalytic particles on the micropellistor surface as well as the realization of a reliable thermal conduction between heater element and catalytic surface, for the sensing of temperature increase produced by the ...
