The feasibility of using preheated kerosene and pre-evaporation to assist in liquid detonation ignition self-sustaining combustion under near-ramjet limit conditions was investigated. Additionally, the decoupling mechanisms were analyzed depth. Owing forced heat transfer effect supersonic flow on droplets, could not be achieved alone. wave still decoupled due exchange cold droplets wave, even i...

The storage of fatty acids and fatty alcohols in the form of neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol (TAG), cholesteryl ester (CE), and wax ester (WE) serves to provide reservoirs for membrane formation and maintenance, lipoprotein trafficking, lipid detoxification, evaporation barriers, and fuel in times of stress or nutrient deprivation. This ancient process likely originated in actinomycetes ...

In many dispersed multiphase flows bubbles, droplets, and particles move and disappear due to a phase change. Practical examples include vapour bubbles condensing in subcooled liquids, fuel droplets evaporating in a hot gas and ice crystals melting in water. After these 'bodies' have disappeared, they leave behind a remnant 'ghost' vortex as an expression of momentum conservation. A general fra...

Turbine blade cooling is considered as the most effective way of maintaining high operating temperature making use of the available materials, and turbine systems with wet compression have a potential for future power generation because of high efficiency and high specific power with a relatively low cost. In this paper performance analysis of wet-compression gas turbine cycle with turbine blad...

Liquid-liquid extraction is an alternative method that can be used for desulfurization and denitrification of gasoline and diesel fuels. Recent approaches employ different ionic liquids as selective solvents, due to their general immiscibility with gasoline and diesel, negligible vapor pressure, and high selectivity to sulfur- and nitrogen-containing compounds. For that reason, five imidazolium...

The small hydraulic diameters employed during  ow boiling in compact evaporator passages are becoming more important in diverse applications including electronics cooling and fuel cell evaporators. The high pressure drop characteristics of these passages are particularly important as they alter the  ow and heat transfer, especially in parallel multichannel conŽgurations. The pressure drop osc...
