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...

Thermal conductivity of liquids and liquid mixtures has been a subject of active and considerable interest because of its technological applications as well as for providing an insight into the various molecular processes. Similarly, a study of thermal conductivity of liquids and liquid mixtures, at varying temperature and pressure, is of significance due to its applicability in process design,...

H-ZSM-5 nano-zeolites were synthesized by hydrothermal method using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) as a template in the presence of various TPABr concentrations. The effect of different TPABr/TPAOH molar ratios was studied on the catalytic performance of dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) in a fixed bed reactor under the same operating conditions (T=300°C, P=1 atm, and WHSV=...

Dimethyl ether (DME) is a synthetically produced alternative fuel to diesel-based and could be used in ignition diesel engines due increasing energy demand. DME considered extremely clean transportation green because it has high cetane number (around 60), low boiling point (−25 °C), oxygen amount (35 wt%) which allow fast evaporation higher combustion quality (smoke-free operation 90% fewer NOx...

using surface analysis, simultaneous effects of temperature (260-380ºc) and ethanol concentration (0-1%) on dimethyl ether (dme) selectivity, yields of hydrocarbon and dme, and methanol conversion were investigated in methanol dehydration reaction over γ-al2o3 catalyst. methanol conversion and yield of hydrocarbon/dme were found to be significantly affected by temperature and the temperature-et...

The adsorption structures of dimethyl ether (DME) on silicalite-1 zeolite (MFI-type) are determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of low-loaded DME-silicalite-1 indicates that all DME molecules are located in the sinusoidal channel, which is the most stable sorption site based on the van der Waals interaction between DME and the framework. The configuration of guest mole...

Based on a global kinetics of direct dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis process from syngas, a steady-state one-dimensional mathematical model for the bubble column slurry reactor (BCSR) has been established. It was built on the assumption of plug flow of gas phase, sedimentation-dispersion model of catalyst grains and isothermal chamber regardless of reaction heats and rates for the design of an i...

The conversion of waste and residues towards high added value products has receiving a growing attention, as reliable strategy to improve sustainability emergent processes. Anaerobic digestion converts organic into biogas digestate. While may be used for energetic purpose, digestate limited uses with low profitability. In this paper, dimethyl ether (DME) is adopted target product which produced...
