In this work, we consider hydrodynamic problems with cold flame propagation by merging a second-order projection method for viscous Navier-Stokes equations with modern techniques for computing the motion of interfaces propagating with curvature-dependent speeds. This is part of our efforts to try and approximate the solution of a simplified model of turbulent combustion. Results are given for a...

In this paper, the Radiation Transfer Equation(RTE) for a non-gray gas between two large parallel planes has been&#10solved and the temperature distribution obtained. With the RTE, solution heat fluxes are also determined. Since and are two components of most combustion products, the problem has been solved for these two gases. The results were, whenever possible, compared with data reported ...

Control of the inner engine torque of a combustion engine is very crucial for the overall performance of a dynamical combustion engine test bench. The main problem thereby is the usually unknown system behavior of the combustion engine, the time delay of the accelerator actuator which is used to control the combustion engine. In general the combustion engine is mounted on a combustion engine te...

Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via the auto-combustion assisted sol-gel method of Zn2+ and Fe3+ ions (molar ratio 1:2) in ammonia solution. The prepared nanomagnetic catalyst was characterized by IR, XRD, SEM and ICP. The diameter of the ZnFe2O4 MNPs (63.7 nm) was determined by Debye-Scherre equation via their XRD pattern. Nanomagnetic ZnFe2O4 efficiently catalyzes oxidat...

ZnO and ZrO2 photo catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method. The products were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of ZnO and ZrO2 was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. Also, photo catalytic degrada...

In this paper a mathematical simulation of a simplified internal combustion engine is presented. To contribute engine kinematics and its geometry, simple relations are derived for constrained motions. The equation of motion for the piston forms a singular boundary value problem. The uniqueness of the solution was studied in the Banach space. For solving governing equations an iterative numerica...

Oxy-fuel coal combustion with flue gas re-circulation is known to be one of the most promising methods for reducing CO2 emissions from coal combustion power plants. In the oxy-fuel system, the combustion atmosphere consists of only O2 separated from air and flue gas re-circulated from a stack. Therefore, the flue gas is dominated by CO2 without any nitrogen gas. The most attractive potential as...

Flameless combustion represents a very appealing combustion technology due to its potential of coupling very high combustion efficiency with low NOx combustion emissions. However, due to its young character, the numerical modeling of flameless combustion is still characterized by open research questions, in particular related to the choice of the combustion model and of the kinetic mechanism. I...
