t-shape profile barriers are one of the most successful barriers among many different profiles. it has been shown that using welled diffusers on the top of t-shaped barriers makes a reactive barrier that shows better performance than that of any other used profile barriers compared with their equivalent absorbent barrier. the contribution of the top surface of reactive t-profile barriers to the...

To reduce the impact of combustion of fossil fuels on air quality and climate change, dimethyl ether (DME) is a promising alternative diesel fuel candidate. Technical combustion processes, including formation of pollutants, are influenced by turbulence–chemistry interaction. Therefore, accurate prediction by computational combustion models of combustion systems burning DME must account for mult...

We present a study of the flame-embedding concept, introduced in [1] as an efficient approach for large-eddy simulation of turbulent combustion at high Reynolds and Damköhler numbers. In flame embedding, the combustion zone is modeled as an unsteady flame modified by the local tangential strain rate, with the latter extracted every time step from the flow field simulations. The flame structure ...

In the case of heterogeneous reactions, diffusion is the only mechanism, locally, of transport of species to and from a surface. Thus, accurate prediction of diffusive transport is a prerequisite for accurate prediction of the operation of devices in which heterogeneous reactions occur. Three different diffusion models are examined from the standpoint of both accuracy and efficiency. Two of the...

many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. the full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (v) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. the size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. this research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. this vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

In this study, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prioritized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), associated pollution level, and health risks were assessed in a typical coal spontaneous combustion zone Rujigou mine Northwestern China. This study used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to detect chemical composition, spatial variation, distribution profiles, impact of combu...

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 ext...

This paper discusses the application of the multi-zone decomposition technique with Multiquadric scheme for the numerical solutions of a time-dependent problem. The construction of the multi-zone algorithm is based on a domain decomposition technique to subdivide the global region into a number of nite subdomains. The reduction of ill-conditioning and the improvement of the computational eecien...

Abstract An axial vane rotary engine (AVRE) is a novel type of engines. The positive displacement mechanism that permits the four “stroke” action to occur in one revolution shaft with minimum number moving components comparison reciprocating In this paper, two-zone combustion model developed for spark ignition AVRE. chamber divided into burned and unburned zones differential equations are chang...
