Considering the disadvantages of gasoline and natural gas as mono-fuel in SI engines has made the researchers to improve the performance and reduce the pollutant as the advantages of the application of dual fuel engines. On the other hand, lean-burn in engine may lead to the reduced pollutant. In the present study various mixtures of gasoline and natural gas with the gasoline as the dominant fu...

In this contribution, two approaches are followed to predict the saturated liquid density of liquefied natural gas (LNG) mixtures. In one approach, 12 cubic equations of state (EoSs), comprising the popular Peng-Robinson (PR) and Redlich-Kwong-Soave (RKS), are employed to predict the saturated liquid density of 20 LNG mixtures. In the other approach, these EoS are used in conjunction with a rec...

One of the important, practical and simple methods for hydrate formation conditionis empirical equations, and so far many empirical equations have been presented to predict thetemperature and pressure of hydrate formation. In this study, the methods and empiricalcorrelations have been reviewed and their predictive capabilities have been evaluated with ...

The existing measuremenJs of the viscosity of gaseous systems can be extended if use is made of statistical mechanics. In this work, we confine ourselves to the measurements of the viscosity of multicomponent mixtures of low-density gases. The method is applied to one sample of natural gas.

The Flash Ironmaking Technology being developed at the University of Utah is aimed at producing iron directly from iron oxide concentrate. In this technology, the concentrate is reduced by H2 and CO gas mixtures formed from the partial oxidation of natural gas in a flash reactor. Natural gas represents an economically and environmentally superior reductant/fuel for the flash ironmaking. The rat...

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 ...
