Combustion of Reformed Gas and Liquid Fuel in Crgt Combustor

Original scientific paper Numerical simulations of four combustion processes in a dual-fuel combustor of chemically recuperated gas turbine (CRGT) were carried out in this work. The fuels in the four combustion processes were liquid fuel, liquid fuel + steam, liquid fuel + reformed gas and reformed gas, respectively. The mathematical models adopted for different fuels combustion consist of real...

A flamelet-based model for supersonic combustion

The renewed interest in high-speed flight has recently demonstrated the need for the development of hypersonic air-breathing propulsion systems, i.e., in which the ambient air is used as oxidizer. These systems have long been recognized as the most well-suited for hypersonic propulsion. Although a traditional ramjet is most appropriate for supersonic speeds (Mach 3 to 5), hypersonic speeds (Mac...

Solar photothermochemical alkane reverse combustion.

A one-step, gas-phase photothermocatalytic process for the synthesis of hydrocarbons, including liquid alkanes, aromatics, and oxygenates, with carbon numbers (Cn) up to C13, from CO2 and water is demonstrated in a flow photoreactor operating at elevated temperatures (180-200 °C) and pressures (1-6 bar) using a 5% cobalt on TiO2 catalyst and under UV irradiation. A parametric study of temperatu...
