Book An Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Fuel Droplet Size on the Vaporization Process in a Turbulent Environment at Elevated Temperature and Pressure

Download or read book An Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Fuel Droplet Size on the Vaporization Process in a Turbulent Environment at Elevated Temperature and Pressure written by Cameron Mark Verwey and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of liquid-fuelled spray combustion systems has a massive impact on the efficiency of energy production in many sectors across the globe. Realistic combustors generate sub 100-μm droplets and operate under high pressure and temperature in strong turbulence. Investigations into droplet evaporation and combustion provide fundamental knowledge and validation data regarding the behaviour of sprays, and although single droplet approaches have been a staple of energy research for many decades, there is little information regarding the effect of turbulence and initial diameter, especially micro-sized, on droplet evaporation rates. The present experimental study develops, interprets, and correlates the results of almost 500 tests performed on isolated heptane and decane droplets. Droplets in the range of 110 - 770 μm (initial diameter) were generated and suspended on small intersecting micro-fibers in a spherical fan-driven chamber and exposed to quasi-zero mean turbulence of intensity up to 1.5 m/s, temperatures ranging from 25 - 100°C, and pressures between 1 and 10 bar. The results indicate that droplet size has a major influence on evaporation rate, as measured by the temporal reduction in droplet surface area, when the environment is turbulent. Evaporation rates increased with both initial diameter and turbulence intensity at all test conditions. The effectiveness of turbulence, defined as the ability of turbulence to improve the evaporation rate over the rate of a stagnant droplet at identical ambient conditions, increased with pressure but decreased with temperature. Both the ratio of Kolmogorov length scale to droplet diameter and the theoretical molar concentration gradient of fuel at the droplet surface are found to be excellent predictors of turbulence effectiveness. Correlation approaches utilizing a turbulent Reynolds number or a vaporization Damköhler number are suggested to predict the evaporation rate of a single droplet exposed to a purely turbulent flow field.

Book Dust Explosion Dynamics

Download or read book Dust Explosion Dynamics written by Russell A. Ogle and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dust Explosion Dynamics focuses on the combustion science that governs the behavior of the three primary hazards of combustible dust: dust explosions, flash fires, and smoldering. It explores the use of fundamental principles to evaluate the magnitude of combustible dust hazards in a variety of settings. Models are developed to describe dust combustion phenomena using the principles of thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and chemical kinetics. Simple, tractable models are described first and compared with experimental data, followed by more sophisticated models to help with future challenges. Dr. Ogle introduces the reader to just enough combustion science so that they may read, interpret, and use the scientific literature published on combustible dusts. This introductory text is intended to be a practical guide to the application of combustible dust models, suitable for both students and experienced engineers. It will help you to describe the dynamics of explosions and fires involving dust and evaluate their consequences which in turn will help you prevent damage to property, injury and loss of life from combustible dust accidents. Demonstrates how the fundamental principles of combustion science can be applied to understand the ignition, propagation, and extinction of dust explosions Explores fundamental concepts through model-building and comparisons with empirical data Provides detailed examples to give a thorough insight into the hazards of combustible dust as well as an introduction to relevant scientific literature

Book Sub  and Super Critical Evaporation and Combustion of a Moving Droplet

Download or read book Sub and Super Critical Evaporation and Combustion of a Moving Droplet written by George Gogos and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are conducting a comprehensive computational study of fuel droplet evaporation and combustion in sub- and super-critical ambient conditions under forced convection. An experimentally validated model for a moving spherical droplet that undergoes evaporation has been developed. The model is used to predict droplet lifetimes and droplet penetration distances over a wide range of ambient pressures. In addition, a low pressure, experimentally validated model for a moving spherical droplet that undergoes combustion has been developed. This model employs a one-step overall reaction and is used to predict extinction velocities for different size droplets. Future work will allow for droplet deformation and semi-detailed chemical kinetics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combustion of Liquid Fuel Sprays outlines the fundamentals of the combustion of sprays in a unified way which may be applied to any technological application. The book begins with a discussion of the general nature of spray combustion, the sources of liquid fuels used in spray combustion, biomass sources of liquid fuels, and the nature and properties of fuel oils. Subsequent chapters focus on the properties of sprays, the atomization of liquid fuels, and the theoretical modeling of the behavior of a spray flame in a combustion chamber. The nature and control of pollutants from spray combustion, the formation of deposits in oil-fired systems, and the combustion of sprays in furnaces and engines are elucidated as well. The text is intended for students undertaking courses or research in fuel, combustion, and energy studies.
