Influence of Particle Size, Moisture, and Cloud Density on Wood Dust Ignition
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.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 ...

Optical Investigation of Sparks to Improve Ignition Simulation Models in Spark-Ignition Engines
EnergiesThe use of renewable fuels in place of fossil fuels in internal combustion engines is regarded as a viable method for achieving zero-impact-emission powertrains. However, to achieve the best performance with these fuels, these engines require further optimization, which is achieved through new combustion strategies and the use of advanced ignition ...

Production of middle distillates through olefin oligomerization using ZSM‐5 as a catalyst
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract The global transportation sector relies heavily on gasoline (C5–C12) and diesel (C11–C24), which together account for approximately 60% of its energy needs. Driven by rapid industrialization and urbanization, diesel consumption is outpacing gasoline, with projections estimating global demand by 2035 at 27 million barrels per day for gasoline ...

A‐optimal model‐based design of experiments for processes with uncertain inputs
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Model‐based design of experiments (MBDoE) techniques are tools for selecting experimental conditions that enable accurate parameter estimation for mechanistic models. Most MBDoE approaches assume that the selected experimental conditions will be implemented perfectly, without uncertainties in the independent variables.

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Global energy demand and environmental concerns have intensified the search for renewable and sustainable energy sources. This study thus, focuses on optimizing the transesterification process of waste cooking oil (WCO) using thermally activated basic oxygen furnace slag catalyst calcined at 850°C (BOF 850). The optimization and modelling were
