Research and Development on Coatings and Paints for Geothermal Environments: A Review
Geothermal power production, by harnessing the natural heat in the earth's crust, provides clean energy, with year‐round availability. However, corrosion, erosion, and scaling of power plant components can hinder energy production. In his review paper, the first of its kind since 1980, a detailed overview of research studies on coatings developed to ...

Molybdenum-oxide nanoplates are grown directly from the surface of molybdenum substrates using a catalyst-free flame synthesis technique. To investigate the effects of oxidizing routes, e.g., from gas-phase O2, H2O, and CO2 as reactants, on the growth ...

Study on combustion performance of microgas turbine combustor with different fuels
A low‐pollution single‐tube microgas turbine burner using different gas fuels is studied. The combustion performance and pollutant generation characteristics of two landfill gases and natural gas were tested in a single‐head burner. Abstract A low‐pollution single‐tube microgas turbine combustor using different gas fuels was studied.

Extinction limits and flame microstructures of CH4 versus air (N2/O2) counterflow diffusion flames with additional CO2 to oxidizer stream under various pressure conditions were numerically investigated by a proposed decoupled strategy. The chemical and thermal effects of CO2 addition were isolated from the synergistic effect on extinction limits and ...

Soot formation process during coal combustion is one of a key phenomenon to achieve a high-performance furnace. This is because the thermal radiation of soot influences the temperature distribution and the heat transfer process in the furnaces.

Abstract Soot particles are one of the major aerosol components (in particle number concentration) in the troposphere and can impact cirrus formation. Depending on their physicochemical properties, soot particles can nucleate ice in the cirrus regime via pore condensation and freezing (PCF) at a lower ice saturation threshold than that of the ...

We present a fully coupled discontinuous Galerkin solver in a low‐Mach framework using a one‐step kinetic model with variable parameters. The solution of the discretized system is done with a globalized Newton method. The solution of the flame sheet problem allows us to obtain adequate initial conditions for the solution of the fully coupled problem. A

Lean premixed (LPM) combustion processes are of increased interest to the gas turbine industry due to their reduction in harmful emissions. These processes are susceptible to thermoacoustic instabilities, which are produced when energy added by an in‐phase relationship between unsteady heat release and acoustic pressure is greater than energy ...
