PIV Measurement of Flow Field inside a Combustion chamber under Spray Combustion

Combustion Chamber

1362 Spray Combustion

The effect of fuel properties on the structure of swirling spray flames has been investigated. Droplet size, number density and velocity measurements have been carried out in pressureatomized spray flames using phase/Doppler interferometry. Four fuels with different physical properties were studied, namely n-heptane, methanol, 50/50 methanol/1-dodecanol mixture, and kerosene. The results indica...

Simulation of Combustion and Thermal-flow inside a Pyroscrubber

A pyroscrubber is the device used in petroleum coke Calcining industry to oxidize the carbonaceous contents, including hydrocarbon volatiles of the exhaust gas from the calcination kiln, so as to recover energy to produce electricity and leave no more than small traces of unburned volatiles, solid carbon, ashes, or emissions (e.g. CO, NOx and SOx) in the flue gas finally discharged. Motivated b...

LES of spray and combustion in an internal combustion engine

With the ever rising need for better fuel efficiency and lower emissions, the development of better engine technology is essential. Different strategies are being considered to increase engine efficiency, such as direct injection or downsizing. Certain regimes are clearly identified as optimal for certain range of loads. For gasoline engines, the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) c...
