Influence of water-methanol solution additives on hydrocarbon fuel combustion in burner

Metallic Nano-particles as Fuel Additives in Air-breathing Combustion

Title: METALLIC NANO-PARTICLES AS FUEL ADDITIVES IN AIR-BREATHING COMBUSTION Gregory Young, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Directed By: Associate Professor, Dr. Kenneth H. Yu, Department of Aerospace Engineering For volume limited propulsion systems, the use of metals as fuel additives offers to increase performance by increasing the volumetric energy stored in the fuel. Highspeed airbreathing comb...

Facile synthesis of SrCO3 nanostructures in methanol/water solution without additives

Highly dispersive strontium carbonate (SrCO3) nanostructures with uniform dumbbell, ellipsoid, and rod-like morphologies were synthesized in methanol solution without any additives. These SrCO3 were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and N2 adsorption-desorption. The results showed that the reaction temperature and the methanol/water ratio had impor...

Predicting the Combustion Properties of Hydrocarbon Fuel Mixtures

The effect of fuel type on the synthesis of LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 powders by solution combustion route

In this research LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 nano powders that are used as cathode material for lithium-ion batteries were prepared by solution combustion synthesis route. Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), mixture of “CTAB and glycine” and also mixture of “CTAB and citric acid” were used as fuel using fuel to oxidant ratio of 0.5. The effect of fuel type on microstructure and electrochemical properti...

The Simulation of Biogas Combustion in a Mild Burner

This paper discusses the design and development of moderate and intense low oxygen dilution (MILD) combustion burners, including details of the computational fluid dynamics process, step-by-step from designing the model until post-processing. A 40 mm diameter bluff-body burner was used as the flame stabilizer. The fuel nozzle was placed in the center with a diameter of 1mm and an annular air no...
