Experimental Investigation of Flow Phenomena of a Single Fuel Jet in Cross-Flow During Highly Preheated Air Combustion Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Particle image velocimetry and a spectroscopy technique has been used to obtain information on the flow dynamics and flame thermal signatures of a fuel jet injected into a cross-flow of normal ...
High-Temperature Air Combustion Phenomena and Its Thermodynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The fundamentals and thermodynamic analysis of high-temperature air combustion (HiTAC) technology is presented. The HiTAC is characterized by high temperature of combustion air having low oxygen ...
Modeling the Performance Characteristics of Diesel Engine Based Combined-Cycle Power Plants—Part II: Results and Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this two-part series publication a mathematical model of the energy conversion process in a diesel engine based combined-cycle power plant has been developed and verified. The examined ...
Visualization of Steam Addition Effect on OH Distribution in a Flame by Isotope Shift/Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (IS/PLIF) Spectroscopy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Addition of steam to a flame has important implications in the combustion process. The dissociation of the added steam (e.g., H2O↔H+OH, etc.) is one of the effects that contribute to the ...
Effect of IC Engine Operating Conditions on Combustion and Emission Characteristics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical simulation of flow, combustion, heat release rate, and pollutants emission characteristics have been obtained using a single cylinder internal combustion engine operating with propane as ...
Profiling of Redox Atmosphere in Flames by Chemical Seeding/Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (CS/PLIF)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Knowledge on the local value of reducing and oxidizing (redox) atmospheres in flames is among the most important issues to be desired by combustion engineers. In this study, the spatial ...
Mixture Preparation Effects on Distributed Combustion for Gas Turbine Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Distributed combustion is now known to provide significantly improved performance of gas turbine combustors. Key features of distributed combustion include uniform thermal field in the entire ...
Spectroscopic Measurements of High Emissivity Materials Using Two-Dimensional Two-Color Thermometry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Radiative heat transfer characteristics from the surface of a substance coated with a high-emissivity material have been examined from the measured two-dimensional (2D) temperature distribution ...
