Abstract: Swirl-stabilized combustion and porous inert medium (PIM) combustion are two methods that have been used extensively, although independently, for flame stabilization. In this study, the two concepts ...

Abstract: A counter-flow annular heat recirculating burner was designed for lean prevaporized, premixed combustion. Prior to entering the combustor, the reactants are passed through a porous media-filled ...

Abstract: For inverse problems in complex flow passages, a calculation procedure based on a multizone Navier-Stokes method was developed. A heuristic approach was employed to derive wall shape corrections ...

Abstract: Recent increases in fuel costs, concerns for global warming, and limited supplies of fossil fuels have prompted wide spread research on renewable liquid biofuels produced domestically from ...

Abstract: Fuels produced from renewable sources offer an economically viable pathway to curtail emissions of greenhouse gases. Two such liquid fuels in common usage are biodiesel and ethanol derived from ...
