Abstract: Unlike other fuels, hydrogen (H2) can be generated and consumed without generating carbon dioxide (CO2). This creates both significant engineering challenges and unsurpassed ecological advantages ...

Abstract: This paper presents an evaluation of the applicability of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines for small-scale cogeneration (<1MWe) in comparison to five previously analyzed ...

Abstract: Homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) is a new engine technology with fundamental differences over conventional engines. HCCI engines are intrinsically fuel flexible and can run on low-grade ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical thermodynamic analysis of a zero-atmospheric emissions power plant. In this power plant, methane is combusted with oxygen in a gas generator to produce the ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the charge and discharge processes in a latent thermal energy storage cell. An individual cell is analyzed to study how its behavior affects the performance ...

Abstract: This work investigates a purely thermal control system for HCCI engines, where thermal energy from exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and compression work in the supercharger are either recycled ...

Abstract: This paper presents the thermodynamic and cost analysis of a coal-based zero-atmospheric emissions electric power plant. The approach involves an oxygen-blown coal gasification unit. The resulting ...
