The Oxidative Cracking of Hydrocarbon Fuels [PDF]

48th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, 2010
We describe recent results on the oxidation of n-butyl radical generated from n-butyl iodide in single pulse shock tube experiments. The procedure builds on earlier work on pyrolytic decomposition and involves adding sufficient oxygen molecules into the system so that pyrolytic decomposition is suppressed.

HYDROCARBON-AIR FUEL CELL [PDF]

, 1966
Abstract : Research emphasized (1) the search for non-noble catalysts, (2) the development of non-corrosive intermediate temperature electrolytes and (3) studies to improve noble metal utilization. Freeze drying can be an effective method for producing conductive high surface area metal tungsten oxides catalysts but these materials did not show any ...

Deflagration of Hydrocarbon Aerosol Fuels

Combustion Science and Technology, 1997
Aerosols of hydrocarbon/air may be formed on accidental release of product in the chemical and process industries and pose a fire and explosion hazard. Some very large-scale accidents involving such systems have been reported. This paper reports a series of novel scouting experiments in a purpose-built medium-scale facility, designed to throw light on ...

Hydrocarbon-fueled scramjet combustor investigation [PDF]

Journal of Propulsion and Power, 1990
An experimental program is being conducted for developing the technology required by a hydrocarbon-fueled engine capable of operating as a scramjet in the Mach 5.6-7.0 range. A series of tests have been run to define scramjet combustor design criteria applicable to a scramjet configuration involving a pair of modular, axisymmetric combustors mounted on

Hydrocarbon fuels from biomass

Fuel, 1989
Abstract With a view to developing petro-crops as a source of hydrocarbon fuels, indigeneous laticiferous species belonging to the families Euphorbiaceae, Asclepiadaceae and Convolvulaceae have been evaluated for their biocrude potential. Hydrocracking of biocrudes from E. royleana, E.

The Combustion of Hydrocarbon Fuels

1994
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the part played by combustion in the development of mankind. The key to this progress was the discovery of how to manage the combustion process; in other words, the ability to initiate combustion when required and to control and apply the resulting fire.

Steam reforming of hydrocarbon fuels

Catalysis Today, 2002
InnovaTek has developed a proprietary catalyst formulation for the fuel processor that is being developed for use with polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. The catalyst has been tested for the steam reforming of various hydrocarbons such as natural gas, iso-octane, retail gasoline, and hexadecane. A 300 h continuous test has shown that the catalyst

Oxidative Desulfurization of Hydrocarbon Fuels

Catalysis Reviews, 2011
New requirements for very low sulfur content (10 ppm) in liquid motor fuels demand novel approaches for ultra-deep desulfurization. For production of near-zero-sulfur diesel and low-sulfur fuel oil, removal of refractory sulfur compounds, like 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene and other alkyl-substituted thiophene derivatives, is necessary.

Hydrocarbon Fuels Optimization

2001
Abstract : Hydrocarbon fuel performance in rockets is systematically considered using standard equilibrium, isentropic, one-dimensional computer codes with a new web-based interface. For reference engine conditions the optimized specific impulse depends only upon the mass-normalized (specific) enthalpy content and the hydrogen-to-carbon ratio In this ...

Conversion of lignins to hydrocarbon fuels

Energy & Fuels, 1989
A pyrolytic lignin (one extracted from a crude biomass pyrolysis oil) has been upgraded in a laboratory nonisothermal plug flow catalytic reactor to give yields of 60-65% hydrocarbon liquids (carbon conversion of 78%). The light hydrocarbon liquid was about 62% aliphatics and 38% aromatics with 50% estimated boiling in the gasoline range.
