Alternative solid fuels combustion in small heat source

Solid-State Solar Thermal Fuels for Heat Release Applications

but remain prohibitively expensive for wide adoption. With the availability of accurate computational tools, new approaches have leveraged carbon nanostructures and insights into the steric interaction of STFs to increase energy density employing highly cyclable and modest energy density (60–70 Wh kg −1 ) azobenzene derivatives. [ 8,9 ] While demonstrating a per-molecule increase in energy dens...

Alternative Fuels In Aviation

During the last years, the aviation sector has been looking into alternatives to kerosene from crude oil, to combat climate change by reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to ensure security of supply at affordable prices. The efforts are also a reaction to commitments and policy packages. Currently, a wide range of possible fuel candidates and fuel blends are discussed in the triple ...

Experimental Investigation of Thermal Balance and Valve Cover Heat Transfer in a Small Internal Combustion Engine

Heat transfer in internal combustion engines is one of the most significant topics. Heat transfer may take place through thermal conduction and thermal convection in spark ignition engines. In this study, valve cover heat transfer and thermal balance of an air-cooled engine are investigated experimentally. The thermal balance analysis is a useful method to determine energy distribution and effi...

Domestic Combustion of Biomass Fuels in Developing Countries: A Major Source of Atmospheric Pollutants

Biomass burning has important impacts on atmospheric chemistry and climate. Fires in tropical forests and savannas release large quantities of trace gases and particulate matter. Combustion of biofuels for cooking and heating constitutes a less spectacular but similarly widespread biomass burning activity. To provide the groundwork for a quantification of this source, we determined in rural Zim...
