Its total heat flux is 15.6 kW, and the average heat transfer coefficients of the front and back tubes are 127 W/(m2· K) and 192 W/(m2· K), respectively. The heat transfer is mainly through convection, and the proportion of radiative heat transfer is only 16.9%.

It is very important to study the influence of iron component on the combustion reaction property of lignite to reveal autoignition mechanism of lignite and reduce autoignition of lignite. In this research, FeCl_(3) and Fe_(2)O_(3) were doped into demineralised lignite (SL+) by impregnation to research the effects of iron salts and iron oxides on the combustion properties of lignite. Based on the above, the effects of post-treatment method of the FeCl_(3)-doped coal samples, iron-salt hydrolysis products and heat-treated temperatures on the combustion property of lignite were researched, and the microstructures of the coal samples were characterised and analysed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results demonstrate that doping with FeCl_(3) increases the combustion performance of lignite, thereby reducing the ignition temperature of lignite by approximately 112 ℃. In contrast, doping with Fe_(2)O_(3) has a weaker combustion-promoting effect. XRD and XPS characterisation indicates that iron species in the coal samples doped with iron salts are highly dispersed and exhibit the FeOOH structure, whereas iron species in the coal samples doped with Fe_(2)O_(3) exhibit the crystal form of α-Fe_(2)O_(3). Doping of lignite with FeCl_(3) and its hydrolysis product β-FeOOH reduces the ignition temperature of the coal samples. Iron species in the FeCl_(3)-doped coal samples after heat treatment at 300–500 ℃ increase the combustion property of the coal samples, whereas iron species after heat treatment at 600–900 ℃ have a much weaker or non-existent promoting effect on the combustion performance of the coal samples. The characterisation show a change in iron species in the coal samples with the rise in the heat treatment temperature. This change progresses from highly dispersed β-FeOOH below 300 ℃ to Fe_(3)O_(4) above 400 ℃. Fe_(3)O_(4) is gradually reduced, with part of it further reduced to elementary iron at the same time as grain growth. It is believed that the gradual agglomeration of Fe_(3)O_(4) and the appearance of elementary iron are the main reasons for the weakening or disappearance of the promoting effect on coal combustion.展开更多

文摘To study the gas-solid flow characteristics in a chemical looping combustion system integrated with a moving bed air reactor,a 3D full-loop numerical model was established using the Eulerian-Eulerian approach integrated with the kinetic theory of granular flow.The solid circulation mechanism and gas leakage performance were studied in detail.The simulation results showed that in the start-up process,the solid circulation rate first increased to approximately 5 kg/s and then dropped to approximately 1.2 kg/s;this observation was related to the dynamic control of the pressure distribution.In this system,the gas leakage between the inertial separator,upper air reactor,and lower air reactor was restrained by adjusting the pressure difference,thus obtaining optimal gas flow paths.When the pressures at the outlets of the inertial separator,upper air reactor,and lower air were 7.4,11.0,and 14.6 kPa,respectively,the gas leakage ratio was less than 1%in the system.

文摘The current work includes a numerical investigation of the effect of biodiesel blends with different aluminum oxide nanoparticle concentrations on the combustion process in the cylinder of a diesel engine.IC Engine Fluent,a specialist computational tool in the ANSYS software,was used to simulate internal combustion engine dynamics and combustion processes.Numerical analysis was carried out using biodiesel blends with three Al_(2)O_(3) nanoparticles in 50,100,and 150 ppm concentrations.The tested samples are called D100,B20,B20A50,B20A100,and B20A150 accordingly.The modeling runs were carried out at various engine loads of 0,100,and 200 Nm at a rated speed of 1800 rpm.The combustion characteristics are improved due to the catalytic effect and higher surface area of nano additives.The results showed the improvements in the combustion process as the result of nanoparticle addition,which led to the higher peak cylinder pressure.The increases in the peak cylinder pressures for B20A50,B20A100,and B20A150 about B20 were 3%,5%,and 8%,respectively,at load 200 Nm.The simulation found that the maximum temperature for biodiesel blends diesel was higher than pure diesel;this was due to higher hydrocarbon values of B20.Also,nano-additives caused a decrease in temperatures in the combustion of biofuels.

文摘To investigate the differences in combustion and energy release characteristics of metastable intermolecular composite materials composed of aluminum alloys and polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)with different compositions,two types of alloys were selected:Al-Mg and Al-Si.Pure aluminum powder of the same size was also chosen for comparison.The PVDF-coated metal particle composites and the mixtures of PVDF with metal particles were prepared using electrospray(ES)and physical blending methods(PM),respectively.A systematic study was conducted on the morphology,compositional structure,combustion performance,energy release characteristics,and thermal reactivity of the fabricated composites and their combustion products through scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS),X-ray diffraction(XRD),combustion performance experiments,closed vessel pressure tests,and simultaneous thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry(TG-DSC).The experimental results indicated that the PVDF-coated metal particles prepared by the electrospray method exhibited a distinct core-shell structure,with the metal particles in close contact with the PVDF matrix.Compared to the PM blended materials,the ES composites demonstrated superior combustion performance and energy release characteristics during combustion.Analysis of different metal fuel systems under identical preparation conditions revealed that Al-Mg and Al-Si fuels modulate the combustion and energy release properties of aluminum alloy-PVDF MICs through two distinct pathways.

文摘This paper describes an experimental study investigating the effects of sinusoidal pulsed injection on the combustion mode transition in a dual-mode supersonic combustor.The results are obtained under inflow conditions of 2.9 MPa stagnation pressure,1900 K stagnation temperature,and Mach number of 3.0.It has been observed that,at the same equivalence ratio,the combustion mode and flow field structure undergo irreversible changes from a weak combustion state to a strong combustion state at a specific pulsed jet frequency compared to steady jet.For steady jet,the combustion mode is dual-mode.As the frequency of the unsteady jet changes,the combustion mode also changes:it becomes a transition mode at frequencies of 171 Hz and 260 Hz,and a ramjet mode at 216 Hz.Combustion instability under steady jet manifests as a transition in flame stabilization mode.In contrast,under pulsed jet,combustion instability appears either as a transition in flame stabilization mode or as flame blow-off and flashback.The flow field oscillation frequency in the non-reacting flow is 171 Hz,which may resonate with the 171 Hz pulsed jet frequency,making the combustion oscillations most pronounced at this frequency.When the jet frequency is increased to 216 Hz,the combustion intensity significantly increases,and the combustion mode transfers to the ramjet mode.However,further increasing the frequency to 260 Hz results in a decrease in combustion intensity,returning to the transition mode.The frequency of the flow field oscillations varies with the coupling of the pulsed injection frequency,shock wave,and flame,and if the system reaches an unstable state,that is,pre-combustion shock train moves far upstream of the isolator during the pulsed jet period,strong combustion state can be achieved,and this process is irreversible.

文摘Combustion dynamics are a critical factor in determining the performance and reliabilityof a chemical propulsion engine.The underlying processes include liquid atomization,evaporation,mixing,and chemical reactions.This paper presents a high-fidelity numerical study of liquidatomization and spray combustion under high-pressure conditions,emphasizing the effects of pres-sure oscillations on the flow evolution and combustion dynamics.The theoretical framework isbased on the three-dimensional conservation equations for multiphase flows and turbulent combus-tion.The numerical solution is achieved using a coupling method of volume-of-fluid and Lagran-gian particle tracking.The Zhuang-Kadota-Sutton(ZKS)high-pressure evaporation model andthe eddy breakup-Arrhenius combustion model are employed.Simulations are conducted for amodel combustion chamber with impinging-jet injectors using liquid oxygen and kerosene as pro-pellants.Both conditions with and without inlet and outlet pressure oscillations are considered.Thefindings reveal that pressure oscillations amplify flow fluctuations and can be characterized usingkey physical parameters such as droplet evaporation,chemical reaction,and chamber pressure.The spectral analysis uncovers the axial variations of the dominant and secondary frequenciesand their amplitudes in terms of the characteristic physical quantities.This research helps establisha methodology for exploring the coupling effect of liquid atomization and spray combustion.It alsoprovides practical insights into their responses to pressure oscillations during the occurrence ofcombustion instability.This information can be used to enhance the design and operation ofliquid-fueled propulsion engines.

文摘The kerosene-fueled Scramjet with multi-cavity combustor has the potential to serve aspropulsion system for hypersonic flight.However,the impact of injection positions on combustionperformance and mechanism at high Mach numbers remains uncertain.Therefore,a comparativestudy was conducted using numerical methods to explore multi-cavity Scramjet combustor perfor-mance at a flight Mach number 7.0 with different injection positions.The combustor is equippedwith 6 cavities arranged in three groups along the flow direction,each consisting of two cavities per-pendicular to the flow.It is shown that the injection location significantly influences combustionperformance:Front-injection yields higher combustion efficiency than post-injection,but post-injection is advantageous for the intake start.Additionally,regardless of injection positions,themainstream flow state near the cavities behind the injection can be categorized as supersonic flow,supersonic-subsonic coexistence flow,and subsonic flow.The optimal length from the downstreamto the trailing edge of the cavities behind the injection for achieving maximum combustion effi-ciency is determined.Further extension beyond this optimal length does not significantly increasethe combustion efficiency.In addition,the optimal length varies with different injection positions-specifically,it is about 60%longer with post-injection conditions than with front-injection con-ditions in this investigation.Moreover,significant secondary combustion within the cavities leadingto improved efficiency only occurs when mainstream flow state is either supersonic flow orsupersonic-subsonic coexistence flow.Also,with a well-optimized design,the kerosene-fueledmulti-cavity Scramjet can achieve enhanced combustion efficiency,which shows relatively smallvariation across a wide range of equivalence ratios.This might be caused by the effects of interac-tion among these multiple cavities.Therefore,these research findings can provide valuable insightsfor designing and optimizing the kerosene-fueled multi-cavity combustor in Scramjet at high Machnumbers.

文摘In this research study,magnesium-aluminum(Mg-Al)bimetallic oxide powders are synthesized via the sol-gel auto combustion method using diethanolamine(DEA)as the fuel.In order to subsequently determine the influence of calcination temperatures upon the structure,chemical bonding,morphology,optical properties,and fluorescence properties of the as-synthesized and calcined Mg-Al bimetallic oxide powders,the researcher employed X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV-DRS),and photoluminescence spectroscopy(PL),respectively.It was apparent on the basis of the XRD and FT-IR analyses that those powders undergoing calcination at temperatures of 500℃,700℃,and 900℃contained the major phase magnesium aluminate(Mg Al_(2)O_(4))spinel with trace magnesium oxide(Mg O)and hydrotalcite(Mg_(6)Al_(2)(CO_(3))(OH)_(16)).When the calcination temperature rose to 1100℃,this resulted in a single phase MgAl_(2)O_(4)while MgO and(Mg_(6)Al_(2)(CO_(3))(OH)_(16))were no longer observed.UV-DRS analysis revealed that in optimized conditions,calcination resulted in better sample absorption and reflection levels when compared to the ultraviolet,visible,and infrared spectra observed in the case of the as-synthesized sample.The bandgap energy(E_(g))for calcined samples was in the range of 2.65 e V to 5.85 e V,in contrast to the value of 4.10 e V for the as-synthesized sample.Analysis of photoluminescence showed that for the as-synthesized samples and those calcined at low temperatures,visible light was emitted only in the violet,blue,and green regions with low intensity,while for samples calcined at higher temperatures,the emissions showed greater intensity and extended to the yellow and orange regions.Multiple defect centers were found in the bandgap which can explain these findings.

文摘Spontaneous combustion of lignite is closely related to the inherent minerals it contains, and the iron component has a remarkable influence on the combustion property of lignite. It is very important to study the influence of iron component on the combustion reaction property of lignite to reveal autoignition mechanism of lignite and reduce autoignition of lignite. In this research, FeCl_(3) and Fe_(2)O_(3) were doped into demineralised lignite (SL+) by impregnation to research the effects of iron salts and iron oxides on the combustion properties of lignite. Based on the above, the effects of post-treatment method of the FeCl_(3)-doped coal samples, iron-salt hydrolysis products and heat-treated temperatures on the combustion property of lignite were researched, and the microstructures of the coal samples were characterised and analysed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results demonstrate that doping with FeCl_(3) increases the combustion performance of lignite, thereby reducing the ignition temperature of lignite by approximately 112 ℃. In contrast, doping with Fe_(2)O_(3) has a weaker combustion-promoting effect. XRD and XPS characterisation indicates that iron species in the coal samples doped with iron salts are highly dispersed and exhibit the FeOOH structure, whereas iron species in the coal samples doped with Fe_(2)O_(3) exhibit the crystal form of α-Fe_(2)O_(3). Doping of lignite with FeCl_(3) and its hydrolysis product β-FeOOH reduces the ignition temperature of the coal samples. Iron species in the FeCl_(3)-doped coal samples after heat treatment at 300–500 ℃ increase the combustion property of the coal samples, whereas iron species after heat treatment at 600–900 ℃ have a much weaker or non-existent promoting effect on the combustion performance of the coal samples. The characterisation show a change in iron species in the coal samples with the rise in the heat treatment temperature. This change progresses from highly dispersed β-FeOOH below 300 ℃ to Fe_(3)O_(4) above 400 ℃. Fe_(3)O_(4) is gradually reduced, with part of it further reduced to elementary iron at the same time as grain growth. It is believed that the gradual agglomeration of Fe_(3)O_(4) and the appearance of elementary iron are the main reasons for the weakening or disappearance of the promoting effect on coal combustion.

文摘Aluminum-water(Al-H_(2)O)propellants represent an innovative class of solid propellants characterized by low cost and minimal signal signature.However,conventional formulations are hindered by significant aluminum(Al)agglomeration,leading to reduced combustion efficiency and substantial residues.This study introduces a method for modifying Al powder with Polyvinylidene Fluoride(PVDF)to enhance the performance of Al-H_(2)O propellants by mitigating agglomeration during combustion.Experimental methodologies,including thermogravimetric analysis under ambient-pressure nitrogen atmosphere and laser ignition tests,were employed to investigate the influence of varying PVDF content on the combustion characteristics of the propellants.Furthermore,the effect of PVDF on motor performance was systematically evaluated through laboratoryscale Solid Rocket Motor(SRM)tests.The results demonstrate that the addition of 7.5%PVDF significantly enhances the burning rate from 1.12 mm/s to 3.78 mm/s and reduces the mean particle size of condensed combustion products from 699μm to 527μm.Combustion efficiency rises from88.57%to 94.51%,while injection efficiency improves significantly from 30.45%to 70.45%.SRM tests further demonstrate an increase in combustion chamber pressure from 0.17 MPa to 0.58 MPa.A dynamic agglomeration model explains these improvements,attributing reduced agglomeration to enhanced aerodynamic forces and a thinner melting layer,while increased gas yield improves injection performance.This study highlights PVDF's potential in advancing Al-H_(2)O propellants by improving combustion and injection efficiency.

文摘Gas injection-enhanced underground coal combustion for heat extraction represents a disruptive chemical fluidized extraction method of coal resources.Coal seam combustion dynamics provide crucial underpinnings for engineering realization.This study establishes an experimental system for monitoring temperature field evolution during gas-assisted combustion in cylindrical coal cores,investigating the influence of moisture content(0%,16%,24%)on gas-assisted combustion kinetics.Results showed moisture content significantly influences combustion:higher levels(16%-24%)delay high-temperature expansion(0-1 h)due to evaporation energy absorption,but subsequently enhance efficiency through pore formation and oxygen diffusion,achieving 1120-1230°C peaks.Dry coal exhibits rapid initial combustion(peak temperature of 1130°C within 1 h)but weaker sustained reactions.The temperature field evolves from localized hotspots to an elliptical high-temperature zone,with axial expansion rates surpassing radial rates,driven by thermal buoyancy and convective heat transfer.Moisture’s dual role is revealed:initially as a thermodynamic inhibitor and later as a promoter by increasing pore diameter and oxygen diffusion coefficients.An optimal moisture content of 16%balances initial heat loss with enhanced reactivity,offering practical insights for optimizing gas injection and thermal recovery in underground coal combustion.

文摘AP(Ammonium Perchlorate)and HMX(Octogen)are the two oxidizers most often used in Nitrate-Ester-Plasticized Polyether(NEPE)rocket propellants.How the AP–HMX ratio influences the agglomeration of NEPE propellants remains unclear.We experimentally investigated the effect of the AP–HMX ratio on the combustion and agglomeration of NEPE propellants using burning rate test,quenched surface analysis,microscopic observations,and the collection of condensed combustion products.It was found that with the decrease in AP content from 40wt%to 10wt%,the burning rate decreased from 14.2 mm/s to 9.2 mm/s because the adiabatic flame temperature of NEPE propellants decreased from 3828 K to 3736 K.Pockets bounded by AP particles appeared on the surface when AP content was 40wt%;however,the accumulations grew and covered the burning surface eventually as the AP–HMX ratio decreased.The time required for the accumulation to coalesce into agglomerates increased with decreasing AP content.Even with similar agglomerate sizes,the coalescence time increased by 83%when the AP content decreased from 40wt%to 30wt%.The agglomerate size in the Condensed Combustion Products(CCPs)increased from 100μm to 200μm,and the fraction of large agglomerations increased from 6.4%to 24.7%when the AP content decreased from 40wt%to 10wt%.Overall,the high flame temperature of the AP particles enhanced the decomposition of the surrounding binder,resulting in the rapid ejection of the aluminum particles into the gas,which had a separating effect on the accumulation,thus weakening the agglomeration.

文摘Boron-based fuels,recognized for their high energy density and potential in energetic applications,encounter challenges such as long ignition delays and incomplete combustion,which result in reduced combustion efficiency and limited performance in aerospace propulsion.In this study,boron carbide(B4C)is investigated as an alternative fuel to pristine boron due to its favorable gas-phase combustion.Both metal oxide(nickel oxide(NiO))and metal fluoride(nickel fluoride(NiF_(2)))are selected as oxidizing modifiers to enhance the reactivity of B4C.A method combining laser ignition with optical diagnostics is employed to investigate the enhancing effects of different oxidizers on the ignition and combustion characteristics of B4C.Both NiO and NiF_(2)can significantly increase the combustion radiation intensity and reduce the time to maximum intensity of B4C.Differential scanning calorimetry,in-situ X-ray diffraction,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used for simultaneous thermal analysis of the B4C composite powders.Combined thermal analysis showed that the effects of NiO and NiF_(2)on promoting B4C combustion is mainly achieved via the formation of NimBn and the release of a large number of gas products.It is reasonable to speculate that the phase separation at the B2O3/NimBn interface forms new pathways for oxygen diffusion and reaction with the B core.The difference in the combustion mechanism of B4C with NiO and NiF_(2)lies in the gas phase products,i.e.,CO_(2)and BF3,respectively,thus leading to significant differences in their reaction processes.

文摘The soot emitted during the operation of diesel engine exhaust seriously threatens the human health and environment,so treating diesel engine exhaust is critical.At present,the most effective method for eliminating soot particles is post-treatment technology.Preparation of economically viable and highly active soot combustion catalysts is a pivotal element of post-treatment technology.In this study,different single-metal oxide catalysts with fibrous structures and alkali metal-modified hollow nanotubular Mn-based oxide catalysts were synthesized using centrifugal spinning method.Activity evaluation results showed that the manganese oxide catalyst has the best catalytic activity among the prepared single-metal oxide catalysts.Further research on alkali metal modification showed that doping alkali metals is beneficial for improving the oxidation state of manganese and generating a large number of reactive oxygen species.Combined with the structural effect brought by the hollow nanotube structure,the alkali metal-modified Mn-based oxide catalysts exhibit superior catalytic performance.Among them,the Cs-modified Mn-based oxide catalyst exhibits the best catalytic performance because of its rich active oxygen species,excellent NO oxidation ability,abundant Mn^(4+)ions(M^(n4)+/Mn^(n+)=64.78%),and good redox ability.The T_(10),T_(50),T_(90),and CO_(2)selectivity of the Cs-modified Mn-based oxide catalyst were 267°C,324°C,360°C,and 97.8%,respectively.

文摘Catalyzed gasoline particulate filters(cGPFs)are being developed to enable compliance with the particulate number limits for passenger cars equipped with gasoline direct injection(GDI)engines in China and Europe,It is appealing to build catalysts with ceria—an irreplaceable"reducible"component in three-way converters—to help eliminate the soot particles trapped in cGPFs via O_(2)-assisted combustion.While research aiming at understanding how these recipes function has continued for more than two decades,a universal model elucidating the roles of different"active oxygen"species is yet to be realized.In this perspective,by critically assessing the reported data about gasoline soot catalytic combustion over ceria catalysts,it is suggested that ceria ignites soot through contributing its lattice oxygen,giving rise to a"hot ring"region at the periphery of soot-catalyst interface.During the"re-oxidation"semi-cycles,electrophilic superoxides and/or peroxides(O_(x)^(n-))are produced at the Ce^(3+)and oxygen vacancy sites enriched in this collar-like region,and then work as key reactive phases for soot deep oxidation.Based on this"O_(x)^(n-)assisted"Mars-van Krevelen mechanism,several guidelines for ceria catalyst designing are proposed,ending with a summary about where future opportunities and challenges may lie in developing efficient and practical cGPF catalysts.

文摘Pd-based catalysts have been extensively studied in the catalytic oxidation of methane,but their longterm stability and water resistance are unsatisfactory as the active sites are susceptible to water toxicity.The addition of Pt to Pd-based catalysts is found to be the most effective and promising method.However,distinct states of existence of Pt can affect the catalytic performance to different degrees,even negatively.Therefore,the impact mechanism of Pt on Pd-based catalysts needs to be further understood.In this work,A-site defective La_(0.9)AlO_(x)perovskite was used as a support,and the state of Pt in catalysts was regulated by adjusting the introducing sequence of Pd and Pt,It is found that only when Pt is introduced preferentially,the activity and water resistance of the bimetal can be improved.Combining a series of characterization results of the fresh catalysts,reduced catalysts,and the samples after reduction and use,it is found that the higher Pt^(2+)content in the catalyst is the main reason for promoting bimetallic properties,while more Pt0has an inhibitory effect.This work provides a new understanding of the promotion effect of Pt on Pd-Pt bimetal in the catalytic oxidation reaction of methane.
