A single-hole n-dodecane spray flame is studied in a Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) framework under Diesel-relevant conditions using a Multiple Representative Interactive Flamelets (MRIF) combustion model. Diesel spray combustion is strongly affected by the mixture formation process, which is dominated by several physical processes such as the flow within the injector, break-up of the liquid fuel ...

This paper describes a theoretical study to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of porous radiant burners. A one dimensional model is used to solve the governing equations for porous medium and gas flow before the premixed flame to the exhaust gas. Combustion in the porous medium is modeled as a spatially dependent heat generation zone. The homogeneous porous media, in addition to its...

Yoshihiro Sukegawa Kazuhiro Oryoji Eiji Ishii, Dr. Eng. OVERVIEW: Improving the fuel economy and emissions of vehicle engines requires a detailed understanding of the various physical processes taking place inside the engine so as to identify optimal combustion control techniques and engine component designs. Based on numerical techniques established by its power plant business for the analysis...

intake system design as well as inlet ports and valves configuration is of paramount importance in the optimal performance of internal combustion engines. in the present study, the effect of inlet ports design is investigated on om-457la diesel engine by using a cfd analysis and the avl-fire code as well. a thermodynamic model of the whole engine equipped with a turbocharger and an intercooler ...

Biomass is the oldest form of energy used by human beings, mainly in the form of wood. It is a renewable source of energy and has many advantages from an ecological point of view. The direct combustion of biomass generates concern among environmentalists, as it is incomplete and inconsistent and may produce organic particulate matter, carbon monoxide and other organic gases. Biomass gasificatio...

Since the time of Faraday, several researchers have studied the effects of magnetic fields on flames. In his time, Faraday realized that the application of certain magnetic field configurations to a burning candle resulted an equatorial elongation of the combustion zone [1]. Recent researchers have confirmed what Faraday observed over a century earlier by showing that flames bent to escape magn...

The development and implementation of a diesel engine combustion system simulation model is described. The model is a crank angle based combustion model, which uses the conditions in the intake and exhaust manifolds together with the fuel injection signal from the engine control unit to estimate the in-cylinder pressure throughout a complete combustion cycle. The model is implemented in Matlab....

Biomass co-firing is becoming a promising solution to reduce CO2 emissions, due to its renewability and carbon neutrality. Biomass normally has high moisture and volatile contents, complicating its combustion behavior, which is significantly different from that of coal. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) combustion model of a single biomass particle is employed to study high-temperature rapid...

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...
