Experimental Investigation of the Concentration Dependent Maximum Storage Capacity of two Inorganic Phase Change Materials
Abstract In large latent heat storages with the phase change material (PCM) being a salt hydrate, it is difficult to assure the stoichiometrically correct hydrate concentration of the salt hydrate. In this study, the influence of the composition of...

Thermochemical conversion of biomass in smouldering combustion across scales: The roles of heterogeneous kinetics, oxygen and transport phenomena
Abstract The thermochemical conversion of biomass in smouldering combustion is investigated here by combining experiments and modeling at two scales: matter (1mg) and bench (100g) scales. Emphasis is put on the effect of oxygen (0–33vol.%) and...

Operational flexibility options in power plants with integrated post-combustion capture
Abstract Flexibility in power plants with amine based carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is widely recognised as a way of improving power plant revenues. Despite the prior art, its value as a way to improve power plant revenues is still unclear. Most...

Development of a Spray Scrubbing Process for Post Combustion CO2 Capture with Amine Based Solvents
Abstract The application of a spray tower for CO2 capture instead of a packed absorber column promises substantial advantages, such as reduction of investment and operating costs due to the omission of expensive packing and an insignificant pressure ...

Heat and Mass Transfer on the MHD Flow of Micro Polar Fluid in the Presence of Viscous Dissipation and Chemical Reaction
Abstract This paper considers the heat and mass transfer flow of magneto hydrodynamic micro polar fluid in the presence of viscous dissipation and chemical reaction. The governing non-linear partial differential equations are transformed into a...

Production of metallic nanopowders (Mg, Al) by solar carbothermal reduction of their oxides at low pressure
Abstract The carbothermal reduction of MgO and Al2O3 in argon flow at low pressure allows to lower the onset temperature of metal vapor formation. Thermodynamic calculations indicate that metal formation begins at 1400 and 1700 K for a primary...

Recycle Sewage Sludge Char as Flue Gas De-NOx Catalyst within Low Temperature Ranges
Abstract Sewage sludge chars produced at four different pyrolysis temperatures (550, 650, 750 and 800oC) were investigated to check their CO and SO2 emissions in a hot flue gas flow; and then their catalyst effect on De-NOx process with hydrazine...

Unaxisymmetric stagnation-point flow and heat transfer of a viscous fluid with variable viscosity on a cylinder in constant heat flux
Abstract Existing solutions of the problem of axisymmetric stagnation-point flow and heat transfer on either a cylinder or a flat plate are for incompressible fluid. Here, fluid with viscosity proportional to a linear function of temperature is...

Development of CaO-based Mixed Oxides as Stable Sorbents for Post-Combustion CO2 Capture Via Carbonate Looping
Abstract A promising concept for post-combustion CO2 capture is carbonate looping, in which CO2 is captured at high temperature using calcium-based sorbents. The process suffers from degradation of the materials and decrease of CO2 capacity after...
