A laboratory combustor was used to investigate the factors that influence the conversion of fuel nitrogen in coal during coal combustion. Fuel NO was isolated by experimentation utilizing Argon/Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide mixtures as the oxidant, and care was taken to compare cases with air at matched conditions. For both well mixed and slowly mixed flame types, fuel NO contributed over 75% of the to...

at the present work, the effect of cold exhaust gas recirculation (egr) on combustion and pollution of a dual fuel engine has been investigated by cfd code fire. the turbulent flow within the combustion chamber is simulated using the k-ε turbulence model, which is modified for engine flows. “wave” and “eddy break up” models are employed to predict combustion and spray process. the calculations ...

A multi-pulse injection strategy for premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combustion was investigated in a four-valve, direct-injection diesel engine by a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation using KIVA-3V code coupled with detailed chemistry. The effects of fuel splitting proportion, injection timing, spray angles, and injection velocity were examined. The mixing process and fo...

To clarify the effects of volatile-char interaction on the redistribution of fuel-N to N2 during devolatilization and the reduction of NO through gas-solid reactions during combustion, two types of experiments were performed on a novel reactor. The separate combustion of volatile and char and the combustion of entrained pulverized coal, and the formation of NO was examined between 800 and 1100 ...

ethanol as a renewable and alternative fuel when utilized in homogeneous charge compression ignition (hcci) has potential to substantially reduce nitrogen oxides (nox) and particle matter (pm) and can maintain hcci sustainability. hcci engine operation is limited between two ringing and misfire regions that too retard and advance combustion phasing highly affect hcci engine operation, performan...

Homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion is spontaneous multi-site combustion of a nominally premixed air/fuel mixture that exhibits high rate of pressure rise and short combustion duration. To avoid excessive pressure rise rate and knocking, HCCI engines are fueled with highly diluted mixture using a combination of excess air and/or EGR. HCCI combustion is attractive due to ...

Laser filamentation produced by the propagation of intense laser pulses in flames is opening up new possibility in application to combustion diagnostics that can provide useful information on understanding combustion processes, enhancing combustion efficiency and reducing pollutant products. Here we present simultaneous identification of multiple combustion intermediates by femtosecond filament...

A novel method for real-time moisture level monitoring of the solid biomass fuel in grate combustion is presented. The measurement principle is based on temperature sensor information from both flame and a fuel bed. Based on the combustion theory and data analysis, selected features have been extracted from the fused sensor information and estimate of the fuel quality is then made continuously ...

Fuel injection is systems for supplying high pressurize fuel to maximum mixing of fuel with air in an internal combustion engine. Direct Injection (DI) Systems as used in DI engines, in which the fuel is injected directly into a combustion chamber formed in the clylinder itself. The fuel injector directly injects fuel into the direct fuel injection system. The injector is a very complicated par...
