Influence of Particle Size, Moisture, and Cloud Density on Wood Dust Ignition
The ignition and combustion of particle clouds are strongly affected by particle interactions. This study uses spectroscopy to examine effects of particle size, water content, and cloud density. Results show ignition delay rises with larger size and density, whereas combustion duration depends mainly on water and density due to moisture‐driven ...

Global and Detailed Calculation of Tube Wall Temperature in a Process Furnace Steam Superheater
This study presents a comparison between an iterative global model and multiple approaches to a new non‐iterative model with the purpose of predicting tube wall temperature of a superheater. The results show that the non‐iterative method achieves sufficient accuracy while improving the prediction of local temperature distribution and better ...

Defossilisation of the Energy Supply of a Chemical Site by Integration of a Carnot Battery
This study presents the results of a techno‐economic analysis of CO2‐free energy supply concepts for electricity and heat for the defossilisation of a chemical park in Germany for the model years 2030 and 2045. The focus is on the integration of a Carnot battery with thermal energy storage, which enables the flexible use of green fuels and renewable ...

The steel industry accounts for about 7%‐9% of global CO2 emissions. While H2‐based direct reduction is a long‐term route, near‐term solutions are needed for existing plants. Internal carbon cycles reuse steelworks off‐gases and by‐products, enabling circular carbon use and supporting CCU integration.

Catalytic Oxidation of CO and VOC in Flue Gas of Coffee Roasting Machines
Platinum‐coated cordierite monoliths effectively oxidized CO and VOC in coffee roasting exhaust with higher Pt loadings lowering light‐off temperatures. Scaled up 90 g/ft3 catalyst in a 5 kg roaster achieved 96% CO and around 78% VOC conversion at 350°C, highlighting stable operation requires flue gas temperatures ≥350°C.
