Turbulent Combustion of Spherical Fuel-Rich Hydrogen Pockets

Recent experimental investigations of combustion in diesel engines showed that the initial premix burn creates pockets of soot and fuel that must burn out in a diffusion-flame mode in order to complete the combustion [5, 6]. Understanding the final stages of this process is critical to predicting the emissions of soot and NOx. This effort uses numerical simulations to investigate burnout of dif...

Grate Furnace Combustion: A Submodel for the Solid Fuel Layer

The reduction of NOx-formation in biomass fired grate furnaces requires the development of numerical models. To represent the variety in scales and physical processes playing a role in the conversion, newly developed submodels are required. Here, a submodel for the reverse combustion process in the solid fuel layer on the grate is described. The submodel is shown to give good predictions for th...

Biomass Characterization and its Use as Solid Fuel for Combustion

(Received: January 8, 2012; Accepted: Februray 8, 2012) Abstract: The power industry is confronting challenges with seemingly conflicting goals. They provide the economy of scale needed to minimize the cost of production. Consumers, including industry, rely on affordable, dependable electrical energy. It’s an important part of our economy and our daily lifestyle. However, reducing emission leve...
