In this study, non-premixed combustion of a traditional fuel-natural gas, and an alternative fuel-biogas, is simulated in swirling flow industrial gas turbine combustor geometry which includes the liner outside casing order to replicate real combustor. The 3D simulations are validated results for both gases analyzed compare evaluate viability biogas as fuel use combustors. performance evaluated...

Somatic mosaicism refers to the existence of somatic mutations in a fraction of somatic cells in a single biological sample. Its importance has mainly been discussed in theory although experimental work has started to emerge linking somatic mosaicism to disease diagnosis. Through novel statistical modeling of paired-end DNA-sequencing data using blood-derived DNA from healthy donors as well as ...

In this paper, multi-layer feed forward neural networks are used to predict the lower heating value of gas (LHV), lower heating value of gasification products including tars and entrained char (LHVp) and syngas yield during gasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) during gasification in a fluidized bed reactor. These artificial neural networks (ANNs) with different architectures are trained ...

The combustion and emission characteristics of ethyl levulinate (EL)– diesel blended fuels were investigated using engine bench tests. Blended fuels properties, including the kinematic viscosity (KV), density, EL proportions, oxygen content, cetane number (CN), and lower heating value (LHV) were considered. The combustion and emission characteristics of brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC), a...

In this paper, the statistical analyses are presented to study the thermal efficiency and power output of gas turbine (GT) power plants. For analyzing gas turbine operation and performance, a novel approach is developed utilizing the response surface methodology (RSM) which is based on the central composite design (CCD) method. An attempt is made to study the effect of some operational factors ...

To describe the effects of inert compounds in gaseous fuel, experiments on three different process burners (staged fuel burner, staged air and low-calorific burner) were carried out. The tested are commercially available, but they specially designed for experimental usage. Tests out semi-industrial burner testing facility to investigate influence gases flame characteristics, emissions, heat flu...

In this study, a novel multigeneration system is considered from energy, exergy, and economic points of view. The combined composed biomass gasifier, CO2 cycle, cooling system, multi-effect distillation (MED), electrodialysis was assessed. This integrated produces electricity, cooling, distilled water, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrogen chloride (HCl). A parametric study regarding moisture conte...

Most of the electric power produced worldwide is based on fossil fuel combustion, largely in plants operating with low efficiency cycles. The large amounts of fuel consumed in this process release harmful emissions including toxic nitrogen and sulfur oxides, mercury, and greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. The necessity to reduce the negative impact of power generation on the environment, ...

Due to the threat posed by spread of invasive plant species, there is an urgent need develop effective methods eradicating and managing their biomass. The aim study was examine selected plants in terms use for energy purposes find out whether they can be a raw material production second-generation biofuels. First, chemical compositions were determined. higher heating value (HHV) lower (LHV) als...

• A detailed LHV determination method with uncertainty quantification is reported. Determinations leverage a fundamental approach GC × GC-FID measured class concentrations. Uncertainty quantifications consider isomeric, GC, and heats of formation variance. All 17 determinations from this work agree ASTM D4809 measurements. The D3338 estimation agrees poorly for alternative fuels. assessment pre...
