Download or read book Lean Combustion written by Derek Dunn-Rankin and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustion under sufficiently fuel-lean conditions can have the desirable attributes of high efficiency and low emissions, this being particularly important in light of recent and rapid increases in the cost of fossil fuels and concerns over the links between combustion and global climate change. Lean Combustion is an eminently authoritative, reference work on the latest advances in lean combustion technology and systems. It will offer engineers working on combustion equipment and systems both the fundamentals and the latest developments in more efficient fuel usage and in much-sought-after reductions of undesirable emissions, while still achieving desired power output and performance. This volume brings together research and design of lean combustion systems across the technology spectrum in order to explore the state-of-the-art in lean combustion and its role in meeting current and future demands on combustion systems. Readers will learn about advances in the understanding of ultra lean fuel mixtures and how new types of burners and approaches to managing heat flow can reduce problems often found with lean combustion such as slow, difficult ignition and frequent flame extinction. The book will also offer abundant references and examples of recent real-world applications. Covers all major recent developments in lean combustion science and technology, with new applications in both traditional combustion schemes as well as such novel uses as highly preheated and hydrogen-fueled systems Offers techniques for overcoming difficult ignition problems and flame extinction with lean fuel mixtures Covers new developments in lean combustion using high levels of pre-heat and heat re-circulating burners, as well as the active control of lean combustion instabilities

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fuel, Vol. 2: Solid, Liquid and Gaseous With the exception of natural oils, the origin of which still remains uncertain, all forms of fuel may be regarded as derived primarily from cellulose, often associated with materials of a gum or resin character. During the life of a plant the green colouring matter of the leaves has the power, under the influence of sunlight, of causing combination between the carbon dioxide of the air and the water in the plant to produce ultimately the cellulose, which is the main con stituent of woody fibre, returning to the air the oxygen previously associated with the carbon dioxide. The wonderful mechanism by which these Vital changes are brought about is quite unknown, but the final result is threefold - the amount of carbon dioxide is pre vented from becoming excessive, which would be fatal to animal life, the renewal of the oxygen supplies is assured, and, what is of special importance since the change involves the absorption of radiant energy from the sun, available heat is stored up by the plant, which may be utilized afterwards by man for the thousand and one purposes for which he requires fuel. Cellulose, in the form of wood; peat, where the cellulose has under gone some slight metamorphosis lignite, brown coal, and finally, all the various kinds of coal, from highly bituminous to anthracite, certainly have derived their heat energy by this process, and whether we employ these cellulose derivatives in their natural form or convert them into forms more suitable than the original for special purposes, such as charcoal and coke, or employ them as liquids (tar) and gases, as is now such general practice, we are but recovering this energy stored up from the sun.

Download or read book Compendium of Hydrogen Energy written by Ram Gupta and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-03 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compendium of Hydrogen Energy, Volume 2: Hydrogen Storage, Distribution and Infrastructure focuses on the storage and transmission of hydrogen. As many experts believe the hydrogen economy will, at some point, replace the fossil fuel economy as the primary source of the world’s energy, this book details hydrogen storage in pure form, including chapters on hydrogen liquefaction, slush production, as well as underground and pipeline storage. Other sections in the book explore physical and chemical storage, including environmentally sustainable methods of hydrogen production from water, with final chapters dedicated to hydrogen distribution and infrastructure. Covers a wide array of methods for storing hydrogen, detailing hydrogen transport and the infrastructure required for transition to the hydrogen economy Written by leading academics in the fields of sustainable energy and experts from the world of industry Part of a very comprehensive compendium which looks at the entirety of the hydrogen energy economy

Download or read book Hydrogen and Fuel Cells written by Bent Sorensen and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-11-12 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hydrogen economy, in which this one gas provides the source of all energy needs, is often touted as the long-term solution to the environmental and security problems associated with fossil fuels. However, before hydrogen can be used as fuel on a global scale we must establish cost effective means of producing, storing, and distributing the gas, develop cost efficient technologies for converting hydrogen to electricity (e.g. fuel cells), and creating the infrastructure to support all this. Sorensen is the only text available that provides up to date coverage of all these issues at a level appropriate for the technical reader. The book not only describes the "how" and "where" aspects of hydrogen fuels cells usage, but also the obstacles and benefits of its use, as well as the social implications (both economically and environmental). Written by a world-renowned researcher in energy systems, this thoroughly illustrated and cross-referenced book is an excellent reference for researchers, professionals and students in the field of renewable energy. Updated sections on PEM fuel cells, Molten carbonate cells, Solid Oxide cells and Biofuel cells Updated material to reflect the growing commercial acceptance of stationary and portable fuel cell systems, while also recognizing the ongoing research in automotive fuel cell systems A new example of a regional system based on renewable energy sources reflects the growing international attention to uses of renewable energy as part of the energy grid Examples of life cycle analysis of environmental and social impacts
