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

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 ...

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 ...

Combustion Efficiency Impacts of Biofuels

Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects, 2009
Abstract The term biofuel is referred to as liquid fuels for the transport sector that are predominantly produced from biomass. Biofuels are important because they replace petroleum fuels. There are many benefits for the environment, economy, and consumers in using biofuels.

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 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 ...

Gas Turbine Combustion Efficiency Calculations

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1950
THE alternative definitions of combustion efficiency based on the ratio of actual to theoretical heat releases and of theoretical to actual fuel requirements are discussed in relation to the practical need for reckoning enthalpies above a datum temperature.

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,
