Temperature and its distribution are crucial for combustion monitoring control. For this application, digital camera-based pyrometers become increasingly popular, due to relatively low cost. However, these not universally applicable the dependence of calibration. Compared with pyrometers, cameras exist in all most every chamber. Although cameras, theologically, have ability measure temperature,...

We present a simulation framework to integrate several aspects of the combustion and burning process in a unified and modular manner. A simple three gas flame model is used to simulate a combustion process, while air motion is simulated as a single moving fluid. Solid objects inside the simulation domain can catch fire and start burning. Heat information is transferred from the fluid simulator ...

The combustion mechanisms of clouds of metal particles are addressed in this research. A microgravity environment was used to create a “stationary model aerosol” consisting of relatively large (100–300 mm diameter), initially motionless particles. The development of individual particle flames, motion of individual particles, and overall aerosol combustion process could be observed simultaneousl...

The University of Idaho has been developing gasoline direct injection two-stroke engine technology for use in snowmobile applications as part of the Clean Snowmobile Challenge organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Applying GDI to a twostroke engine significantly reduces emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and improves fuel economy by reducing or eliminating the short circuiting of fu...

in this research, energetic andexergetic analysis of calcium oxide formation, co2 emissions, andenvironmental effects during the clinker production process in rotary kilnare investigated. first the energy and exergy analysis of rotary kiln were carried out according to the first and second law of thermodynamics based on dead state, respectively. consequently, the amount of co2 emissions associa...
