Coal Chemical-Looping Combustion for Electricity Generation: Investigation for a 250 MWe Power Plant
Abstract Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) is generally based on interconnected fluidized beds where a solid oxygen carrier provides the oxygen for combustion in a fuel reactor (FR). The reduced oxygen carrier is then regenerated to oxidized state...

Computation and Validation of Parameter Effects on Lobed Mixer-Ejector Performances
Abstract Three-dimensional numerical computation of the flow fields and pumping performances for the lobed mixer-ejector are conducted using full Navier-Stokes equations. In the computation, the inlet of the primary flow uses the mass flowrate...

On the optimal design of gas-expanded liquids based on process performance
Abstract Gas-expanded liquids (GXLs) are mixed solvents composed of an organic solvent and a compressible gas, usually carbon dioxide (CO2) due to its environmental and economic advantages. The best choice of GXL, as defined by the specific organic...

A financial assessment of two alternative cultivation systems and their contributions to algae biofuel economic viability
Abstract The Farm-level Algae Risk Model (FARM) is used to simulate the economic feasibility and probabilistic cost of biomass and bio-crude oil production for two projected algae farms. The two farms differ in their cultivation system: an open...

Rheological characterization of acid pectin samples in the absence and presence of monovalent ions
Abstract Pectins are traditionally divided into two groups, high methoxy and low methoxy. The groupings determine the charge of the pectin and the gelation mechanism. However, not as yet extensively studied is the impact on gelation of the...

Rate-Controlled Constrained Equilibrium (RCCE) simulations of turbulent partially premixed flames (Sandia D/E/F) and comparison with detailed chemistry
Abstract This paper investigates the potential of the RCCE mechanism reduction approach for modelling turbulent flames within the framework of transported PDF methods. For this purpose, PDF simulations are performed with an RCCE-reduced mechanism...

Oxy-biomass Ignition in Air and Relevant Oxy-combustion Atmospheres for Safe Primary Recycle and Oxy-burner Development
Abstract Results for ignition behaviour of pulverised biomass fuels in a 20 litre (L) spherical combustion chamber are presented and discussed. Four types of biomass currently used in UK utility pulverised fuel boilers have been...

Cultivation of Scenedesmus dimorphus for C/N/P removal and lipid production
Abstract Background CO2 emission, water pollution and petroleum shortage are the issues coming with the development of industry. A cost effective system was constructed to fix the CO2 in flue gas (15% CO2), remove nitrogen and...

Finite Volume Study of Flow Separation Phenomena for Steady Flow over a Circular Cylinder at Low Reynolds Number
Abstract Flow separation is one of the major distinguishing phenomena between the potential flow and actual fluid flow and circular cylinder has long been considered as the simplest form of bluff body for analyzing flow separation characteristics....

Modelling of gas–solid turbulent channel flow with non-spherical particles with large Stokes numbers
Abstract This paper describes a complete framework to predict the behaviour of interacting non-spherical particles with large Stokes numbers in a turbulent flow. A summary of the rigid body dynamics of particles and particle collisions is presented...

Kinetics of the reduction of wüstite by hydrogen and carbon monoxide for the chemical looping production of hydrogen
Abstract Hydrogen of very high purity can be produced via the steam-iron process, in which steam oxidises metallic Fe in 3/4Fe+H2O→1/4Fe3O4+H2. It is then advantageous to oxidise Fe3O4 in air to Fe2O3, an oxygen-carrier. This higher oxide of Fe is...
