Characterisation of soot in oil from a gasoline direct injection engine using Transmission Electron Microscopy
Abstract In this work, an investigation of soot-in-oil samples drawn from the oil sump of a gasoline direct injection (GDI) engine was carried out. Soot particulate was characterised in terms of size, distribution and shape of the agglomerates, and...

The performance of Fe2O3-CaO Oxygen Carriers and the Interaction of Iron Oxides with CaO during Chemical Looping Combustion and H2 production
Abstract Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) has emerged as a promising and low cost carbon capture process which produces a pure stream of CO2. In CLC, oxygen from a solid oxygen carrier (OC) is used to combust fuels. Iron oxide is a promising...

Foam stability in the presence and absence of hydrocarbons: From bubble- to bulk-scale
Abstract One of the pioneering applications of foam is in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). A major stumbling-block to the success of foam application in EOR is the adverse influence of oil on foam stability. The objectives of the present work were to...

The combustion characteristics of high-heating-rate chars from untreated and torrefied biomass fuels
Abstract Torrefaction of biomass is of great interest at the present time, because of its potential to upgrade biomass into a fuel with improved properties. This study considers the fundamentals of combustion of two biomass woods: short rotation...

Modelling the non-equilibrium two-phase flow during depressurisation of CO2 pipelines
Abstract The development, testing and validation of a two-fluid transient flow model for simulating outflow following the failure of high pressure CO2 pipelines is presented. Thermal and mechanical non-equilibrium effects during depressurisation are ...

Uncertainty analysis of varying temperature chemical kinetic systems
Abstract All uncertainty analysis studies carried out so far on chemical kinetic systems assumed that the uncertainties of the rate coefficients are independent of temperature, which leads to wrong results in varying temperature systems. Most...

Effects of Hydrogen Partial Pressure on Fermentative Biohydrogen Production by a Chemotropic Clostridium Bacterium in a New Horizontal Rotating Cylinder Reactor
Abstract In order to produce fermentative biohydrogen at high yields and production rates, efficient bioreactors have to be designed. A new reactor called anaerobic biodisc reactor allowed the production of biohydrogen from glucose with the selected ...
