The oxidation process of CH4/O2 mixtures diluted in CO2 under moderate or intense low-oxygen dilution (MILD) and oxy-fuel combustion conditions was numerically investigated a perfectly stirred flow reactor at atmospheric pressure. analysis aimed to investigate the kinetics involved fuel systems highly strongly preheated. Particular attention focused on effects routes because it can significantly alter kinetic pathways participating directly key reactions indirectly termolecular as third body...
The potentialities in the use of biochars prepared by steam-assisted slow pyrolysis as adsorbents gases strategic interest (N2, CO2, and CH4) their mixtures were explored. from Populus nigra wood cellulose fibers exhibited a narrow microporosity, with average pore sizes ranging between 0.55 0.6 nm. micropore volume increased temperature, allowing CO2 CH4 uptakes at room temperature 1.5 2.5 mmol/g 0.1 0.5 mmol/g, respectively. These values are line those literature on biomass-derived...
Even in the presence of formidable growth renewable energy sources, advanced combustion processes have and will continue to an irreplaceable role as a driving force for market. This is indeed motivated by same huge amount that can be conveniently stored form carriers, made available from sources. The coupling appropriate conversion technology with locally biofuels certainly among most effective solutions, now on table, face decarbonization challenge. In this framework, moderate or intense...
In this work Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of a Hydrogen/Air cyclonic burner operating in the MILD combustion regime at 1 atm is performed. The flow configuration may represent proper way to enhance mixing process very short time while allowing for residence times long enough achieve complete oxidation diluted and preheated mixtures. Accurate molecular transport properties reduced chemical mechanism hydrogen-air combustion, consisting 18 transported species 244 elementary reactions are...
Among the liquid fuels supporting decarbonization of energy conversion chain, alcohols play a key role. Mainly considered for engine application, their use in stationary systems designed power generation is receiving considerable attention but requires further investigation. This work aims at demonstrating feasibility thermochemical low-molecular-weight alcohols, methanol, ethanol, and 1-butanol, small-scale unit exercised under moderate or intense low-oxygen dilution combustion conditions....
The present work provides deep insights into methane oxidation in a cyclonic flow field chamber whose strong internal recirculation of burnt products enables the attainment moderate or intense low-oxygen dilution (MILD) combustion regime over wide range operating conditions. Steady-state Favre-averaged Navier–Stokes (FANS) simulations are performed to evaluate thermochemical processes taking place within reactor and assess suitability existing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models...
