This article presents the concept and mathematical treatment for a techno-economic modelling framework designed to enable exploration of fuel cell micro combined heat and power (micro-CHP) system design and control. The aim is to provide a tool that can help to focus research and development attention on the system characteristics critical for commercial success of these technologies, present c...

In view of the economy and environmental impacts of the energy utilization, most of the heat transfer industries such as steel mills, glass plants and forging shops, foundry process and furnaces are focusing on energy efficient strategies and implementing new technologies. Gas Technology Institute (GTI) and Air Liquide Chicago Research Centre (ALCRC) have applied Oscillating Combustion Technolo...

Abstract Fuel poverty is widely recognised as distinct form of injustice and social inequality a front burner issue in the last three decades UK. The crisis affects 4.5 million households UK, it major high-risk contributor to health elderly people (NEA Effects Living Poverty, NEA.ORG, London, 2020, [1]). Thus, consequences fuel range from psychological stress, worry isolation serious conditions...

In this study, a series of experiments were conducted on testing facility and real-scale furnace, for analyzing the nitric oxide (NO) emission reduction. The effects temperature, oxygen concentration, amount secondary combustion air investigated in single-burner system. Additionally, NO-reduction rate before after modifications both burner furnace air-staged evaluated reheating furnace. air-to-...

Ammonia is a promising alternative fuel for CO2 emission mitigation. The use of ammonia blends allows more flexibility compared to pure and often considered immediate reduction in existing facilities running on natural gas. However, fundamental studies these mixtures remain scarce. This study thus focuses ammonia/methane blend fuels. effect methane jet flame stabilization investigated using non...

Laser-induced breakdown is used for quantitative gas property measurements (gas density and ethylene fuel concentration) in a cavity flameholder in a supersonic crossflow. A plasma is produced by a focused laser beam (Nd:YAG, 532 nm) in the cavity to measure gas properties at the location of the plasma and to ignite cavity flames. Plasma energy (PE), defined by the laser pulse energy absorbed/s...
