Abstract: The rate-controlled constrained-equilibrium (RCCE), a model order reduction method, has been further developed to simulate the combustion of propane/oxygen mixture diluted with nitrogen or argon. The RCCE method assumes ...

Abstract: Rate-controlled constrained equilibrium (RCCE) is a reduction technique used to describe the time evolution of complex chemical reacting systems. This method is based on the assumption that a nonequilibrium system can reach ...

Abstract: Syngas has gained attention recently due to its high energy density and environmentally friendly characteristics. Flame stability plays an important role in flame propagation in energy conversion devices. Experimental ...

Abstract: Biomass has been considered as a valuable alternative fuel recently. A fundamental property of biomass/air flame, laminar burning speed, is measured in this research. Experiments have been made in a cylindrical combustion ...

Abstract: This study presents a train of thought and method for flue gas energy utilization management by connecting an optimized supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) Brayton cycle with a selected steam/water Rankine cycle to recover ...

Abstract: This experimental research examined the effect of CO2 as a diluent on the laminar burning speed of propane–air mixtures. Combustion took place at various CO2 concentrations (0–80%), different equivalence ratios (0.7<ϕ<1.2) ...

Abstract: Finding alternative refrigerants is of extreme importance to mitigate anthropogenic climate change. Among the next-generation refrigerants, hydrocarbons (HCs) are of technical interest because they are natural, efficient, ...
