In the presented research, the authors dealt with the specific properties of the combustion process of dimethyl ether (DME) in a combustion car (Volkswagen Golf IV) engine AJM 1.9 TDI PDE made by Volkswagen factory. Dimethyl ether is an alternative fuel produced most often from natural gas, which can be used in compression ignition engines as a single fuel or co-burned with diesel oil. This work describes the impacts of using exhaust gas recirculation system and various diesel to DME substitution ratios from 0% to approximately 25% (on an energy basis), on the combustion process in a dual-fuel diesel engine. The engine has been modified so that DME fuel is introduced into the intake manifold just before the intake valves. The diesel fuel supply system, operation algorithms of the engine electronic control unit and other engine elements were left unchanged as it was built by the manufacturer

Obecnie ze względu na narastające potrzeby energetyczne świata oraz świadomość zagrożeń związanych z emisją gazów cieplarnianych, wykorzystanie energii z odpadów staje się coraz bardziej pożądane. Fluidalna technologia spalania to czysta i wydajna technologia ze względu na doskonałe właściwości mieszania i wymiany ciepła. Pozwala ona na wykorzystanie paliw nie tylko takich jak węgiel, czy biomasa, ale również komunalne odpady stałe. Coraz powszechniejszą tendencją jest częściowe lub całkowite zastąpienie paliw kopalnych przez paliwa alternatywne m.in. biomasę i RDF/SRF. Wartość opałowa tych paliw jest wysoka, zbliżona do węgla brunatnego. Największym wyzwaniem w stosowaniu paliw alternatywnych jest ogromne zróżnicowanie właściwości chemicznych i fizycznych tych paliw. W pracy przedstawiono analizę procesu spalania wytworzonych z odpadów komunalnych peletów RDF w zmiennej temperaturze prowadzonego procesu spalania. Badania przeprowadzono na reaktorze laboratoryjnym z cyrkulacyjnym złożem fluidalnym. Badania Zostały przeprowadzone w trzech różnych temperaturach komory spalania: 850°C, 750°C i 650°C i w strumieniu materiału inertnego Gs=2,5kg/m2s i Gs=5kg/m2s modelującym warunki w rzeczywistym palenisku. Z badań wynika, że technologia fluidalna może być uważana za jedną z bardziej efektywnych metod unieszkodliwiania odpadów komunalnych przy jednoczesnym wykorzystaniu ich potencjału energetycznego. Mogą one być z powodzeniem wykorzystywane zarówno w procesie spalania oraz zgazowania, czy pirolizy.

Nowadays, due to the growing energy needs of the world and awareness of the threats associated with greenhouse gas emissions, the use of energy from waste is becoming more and more desirable. Fluidized bed combustion technology is a clean and efﬁcient technology in view of its excellent mixing and heat transfer characteristics. It allows the use of fuels not only such as coal or biomass, but also municipal solid waste. The current trend is to partially or fully replace fossil fuels by alternative fuels such as biomass and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF )/ Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF). The caloriﬁc value of these fuels is high, while also competitive in comparison with lignite. The biggest challenge in the use of alternative is that these fuels have different physical and chemical properties. The paper presents an analysis of the combustion process of RDF pellets produced from municipal waste at a variable temperature of the combustion process. Tests were carried out in a laboratory reactor with a circulating ﬂuidized bed. The research was carried out at three different temperatures of the combustion chamber: 850°C, 750°C and 650°C and in the stream of material Gs=2.5kg/mzs and Gs=5kg/mzs modeling the conditions in a real boiler. The study shows that ﬂuidized bed combustion can be considered to be one of the most efﬁcient methods of neutralizing municipal waste while using its energy potential. They can be successfully used both in the process of combustion and gasiﬁcation or pyrolysis

The work completed and discussed in this paper was to determine the level of smoke generation intensity in a selection of solid rocket propellants developed to minimise the level of generated smoke. This is an important issue for the application of the developed low-smoke propellant in, for example, the sustainer motor of a rocket missile. Reduced smoke generation levels can help to significantly reduce the feasibility of enemy detecting rocket munition launch sites. The authors of this paper developed a test stand that quantified the smoke generation intensity in rocket propellants. The test stand setup, based on the scatter of a laser beam by smoke, measured the smoke generation intensity, including during the operation of a rocket motor. A rocket micromotor was used along with a test chamber to measure the intensity of the smoke generated. It was located directly behind the motor exhaust and provided three laser- photodiode measurement channels. Tests of the smoke generated during the combustion of black powder and a standard mixture of HTPB and AP at a ratio of 20:80 provided reference baselines for the smoke generation intensity tests on the developed rocket propellants. The authors determined the smoke generation intensity of the propellants based on ADN, HTPB, and GAP with various additives. The results produced made it possible to compare the tested materials and select the most preferable materials as measured by their low smoke generation intensity.

Przeprowadzone prace miały na celu określenie poziomu intensywności dymienia wybranych stałych, rakietowych materiałów pędnych, opracowanych przy założeniu minimalizacji generowanego przez nie dymu. Stanowi to istotne zagadnienie w kontekście zastosowania opracowanego materiału pędnego o zmniejszonym dymieniu, np. w silniku marszowym pocisku rakietowego. Ograniczenie wytwarzania dymu może znacząco zmniejszyć możliwości wykrycia miejsca startu środków bojowych przez przeciwnika. Autorzy artykułu opracowali stanowisko badawcze umożliwiające otrzymanie wskazań intensywności dymienia rakietowych materiałów pędnych. Przygotowany system, oparty na rozpraszaniu wiązki światła laserowego w dymie, umożliwia pomiar intensywności dymienia m.in. w warunkach pracy silnika rakietowego. Zastosowano mikrosilnik rakietowy wraz z komorą badawczą układu pomiaru dymienia, umieszczoną tuż za wylotem z mikrosilnika, wyposażoną w trzy tory pomiarowe laser- fotodioda. Pomiary generowanego dymu podczas spalania prochu czarnego oraz standardowej mieszaniny HTPB z AP w stosunku 20-80 stanowiły poziomy odniesienia do porównania intensywności dymienia opracowanych materiałów pędnych. Autorzy określili intensywność dymienia materiałów pędnych opartych na zastosowaniu ADN, HTPB lub GAP oraz różnych dodatków. Otrzymane rezultaty pozwalają na porównywanie przebadanych materiałów oraz wyselekcjonowanie najlepszych pod kątem niskiej intensywności dymienia.

Future options for addressing the depletion of fossil fuels and reducing pollution from internal combustion engines may include biofuel as an alternative fuel. This study aims to experimentally and statistically assess the effect of using diesel-biofuel blends on the emissions of a single-cylinder direct-injection engine. Using recycled olive oil, a chemical Tran’s esterification process was used to create biofuel. The experimental results were contrasted with those of a one-dimensional engine model for exhaust emissions and torque, which showed high agreement between test and numerical data. In order to comprehend the factors that affect the engine’s reaction to variations in fuel composition, the thermodynamic characteristics of the engine for various blends were also supplied. According to the investigation, a mixture with 20% of the volume fraction of oleic acid methyl ester olive-based biofuel and 80% of the volume fraction of pure diesel can be an effective fuel alternative for cleaner exhaust emissions while offering almost the same performance.

This article discusses the possibilities of powering a commonly used diesel engine with renewable fuels. It analyses scientific studies that clearly indicate that the use of hydrogen is a potentially future-proof option due to its potential to reduce specific fuel consumption and improve performance and increase thermal efficiency. The research was carried out on a laboratory bench designed to test a diesel engine fueled by different fuels. A proprietary hydrogen injection system with dedicated control software was used. Hydrogen injection pressures of 0.15, 0.18, 0.20 MPa and hydrogen injector opening times of 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 ms, respectively, were set as control parameters. The rapidly varying engine operating parameters were recorded and the parameters calculated from them were analysed.

The paper presents the results of tests on a SI engine fueled with an LPG/DME blends of various composition. A number of experimental studies and calculations using a mathematical model were carried out to examine the suitability of this fuel. These tests allowed for the analysis of the changes taking place in the combustion process and the assessment of the main operating parameters of the engine. The engine was powered by an LPG/DME fuel mixture with different proportions of components. The share of DME ranged from 0% to 30% of the fuel mass. The obtained results reflect the operation of the engine in the full load range and selected rotational speeds. Measurement series were made for different settings of the ignition advance angle. Based on the obtained results, a corrected map of the ignition advance angle was developed. The obtained results confirm the usefulness of using the LPG/DME mixture to power the SI engine.

The article discusses the research results on the combustion of pyrolysis oil derived from the pyrolysis of HDPE plastics after its distillation. The tests were carried out in a constant-volume combustion chamber in conditions similar to those in a compression-ignition engine with a compression ratio of 17.5:1. The phases of premixed and diffusion combustion and the ignition lag were determined. Then, diesel fuel combustion tests were performed under similar pressure-temperature conditions. Comparative analysis was used to draw conclusions as follows: the percentage fraction of heat released from the premixed combustion phase to total heat for pyrolysis oil was nearly 22%, whereas this parameter is 15% for diesel fuel, the maximum combustion rate for the premixed combustion phase for pyrolysis oil was approximately 27% higher than the premixed combustion rate for diesel fuel, the ignition lag for pyrolysis oil was slightly longer compared to that for diesel fuel. The presented parameters have a significant impact on both the development of combustion and the thermal efficiency of the internal combustion engine. Summing up, one can conclude, that pyrolysis oil can be applied as a substitute for diesel fuel both as a single fuel or blend component with it.

Thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP), as a high energy oxidizer in composite solid rocket propellants (CSRP), greatly affects the burning rate of the propellant. This paper summarizes the results of a study of the synergistic catalytic activity of nano-CuO/Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles on thermal decomposition of AP. AP micro-particles are efficiently encapsulated with 1 and 5 wt.% of nano-CuO and/or nano-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles by the fast-crash solventantisolvent technique. The efficiency of the encapsulation method was confirmed using FT-IR spectroscopy. Morphological characterization, performed using SEM-EDS microscopy, showed that encapsulation provides recrystallization and deagglomeration of AP and uniform nano-catalyst distribution. The catalytic efficiency of nano-CuO/ nano-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles on the thermal decomposition of AP was investigated using DSC, and an increase in released heat was observed from 1453 to 1628 J/g. The catalytic activities of performed nano-catalysts were proven by decreasing the HTD and merging with the low decomposition temperature peak. The highest catalytic effect was obtained after encapsulating with 5 wt.% of nano-CuO and nano-Fe₂O₃ combined in a 50/50 mass ratio due to multiple mechanisms of catalytic activity of nano-Fe₂O₃. The effect of AP encapsulation with nano-Fe₂O₃ on the burning rate of CSRP was investigated and the obtained results showed a favorable effect on the combustion rate law.

This research article contributes to the challenge of global warming by presenting the approach of the use of green hydrogen to reduce greenhouse gases. It shows that CO2 emissions can be significantly reduced in thermal power plants by replacing natural gas with green hydrogen as a fuel. This work presents the techno-economic study of the energy transition of a 12 MW thermal power plant based on green hydrogen. The presented study is based on the energy consumption of Nigeria, 73% of which is covered by natural gas thermal power plants. The obtained results show that the cost of this transition is ca. 17 million dollars (USD) for a reduction of 114 tCO2 per plant with a return on investment between 4-5 years. In addition, through modeling and numerical simulation, this article shows that estimated return on investment can be shortened by using the thermal power resulting from the turbine, through industrial use.

Extensive research is being conducted to create and use a wide range of alternative fuels to accommodate the world's growing energy needs. The objective of this experimental investigation was to analyze the effects of Karanja biodiesel blends on the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of a compression ignition (CI) engine vis-a-vis neat diesel. Important physical parameters of Karanja oil were examined experimentally after transesterification and determined to be within acceptable limits. BTE of Karanja biodiesel blends was about 3-8% lower than diesel. For Karanja biodiesel blends, BSFC was about 2-9% higher than diesel but exhaust gas temperature and volumetric efficiency were lower. Emissions characteristics such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide were also analyzed for various tested fuels. Karanja biodiesel blends resulted in lesser CO and HC formation. Nonetheless, NOx emissions were around 10% greater than diesel. Peak cylinder pressure, heat release rate, and maximum rate of pressure rise versus crank angle were among the combustion characteristics parameters considered in this study. Combustion analysis revealed that for Karanja biodiesel blends heat release rate and peak cylinder pressure were lower than for neat diesel. Findings indicate that Karanja biodiesel can be considered a viable diesel engine fuel.

The most serious problems to overcome for a successful operation of the HCCI engine are control of the combustion phase, limited operational range, cold start of engine and high noise level during engine operation. This study aims at describing the engine power output characteristics and emission characteristics of HCCI engines under different testing conditions and the various challenges associated with these engines. Furthermore, this study holds a potential guide for overcoming these challenges and improvement of the engine power output as well as the emission characteristics. Thus, it is possible to say, concerning the performed investigation work, that HCCI combustion can be applied in existing conventional engines after their modifications. The most significant result of the HCCI process application is the reduction of NOx emissions and soot emissions, keeping almost the same engine power output as the conventional combustion process.

This paper analyzes A.K. Oppenheim’s original works on the transition of deflagration to detonation and reviews them from the perspective of new numerical and experimental results recently obtained on such phenomena. Particular attention is focused on processes happening in the boundary layer of the tube walls ahead of the accelerating flame. The results of the theoretical analyses of temperature variations inside developing boundary layer are presented and compared to the temperature variation in a free stream away from the boundary layer. Analyses of temperature increase in such layers clearly indicate that the self-ignition of the mixture happens in the boundary layer ahead of the propagating flame front. New experimental results obtained recently by a research group from the A. V. Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute in Minsk, Belarus, combined with previously conducted theoretical analyses and numerical simulations, show clearly and unambiguously that the origin of the “explosion in the explosion”, postulated by A. K. Oppenheim in 1966, is always responsible for the Deflagration-Detonation Transition (DDT) in gases and is located in the boundary layer ahead of the accelerating flame front.

Problem spalania koksików powstających np. z niezupełnego spalania pyłu węglowego i/lub biomasy wymaga specjalnych warunków z powodu niskiej reaktywności koksików. Koksiki te charakteryzują się dużą zawartością substancji mineralnych i brakiem części lotnych, co między innymi powoduje, że mają wysoką temperaturę zapłonu i względnie stałą szybkość spalania w szerokim zakresie temperatur cząstek. Analiza termograwimetryczna dla różnych szybkości nagrzewu pokazała, że ze wzrostem szybkości nagrzewania do temperatury zapłonu jest możliwe uzyskanie zupełnego spalania. Takie warunki nagrzewu koksików gwarantuje zarówno plazma mikrofalowa jak i łukowa. Wstępne badania w reaktorze przepływowym potwierdziły oczekiwania co do stopnia wypalenia. Kolejno w pracy przedstawiono badania nad zastosowaniem palnika plazmowego do spalania koksików.

The problem of minimizing high content of char in fly ash obtained under incomplete combustion of coal or biomass requires special conditions due to the low reactivity of coke. These coke are characterized by a high content of mineral substances and the low concentration of volatile matter, which means high ignition temperature and relatively constant combustion rate in a wide range of particle temperatures. Thermogravimetric analysis for different heating rates shows that with the increase of the heating rate to the ignition temperature, it is possible to obtain complete combustion of analysed fuel. Such conditions for heating the char are guaranteed by both microwave and arc plasma. Initial experimental tests in the flow reactor confirmed the expectations regarding the degree of burnout. In the paper research on the use of a plasma burner for coke is presented.

The economical combustion of gas fuel implies that it takes place with a minimum coefficient of excess air and minimal losses. Constructive, aerodynamic and physical factors have a determining influence on the completeness of combustion and the conditions of ignition. Using the ANSYS software program, the main characteristics of the combustion process in the cylindrical mixing section of a flat flame injection burner are investigated through computer simulation. A geometric model was created on which it is possible to study both straight and rotating jets. The possibility of numerically investigating the combustion of gaseous fuel (C3H8) in a confined air flow produced by injection is considered. A k-ε model of turbulence was used, which is based on the equation for turbulent kinetic energy and its dissipation rate. The purpose of the work is to study and analyze the changes and distribution of temperature and speed as well as the concentration of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide along the axis of the combustion chamber. The results are presented for the angles of inclination of the nozzles of 45° and 0°. Based on these, an analysis was made, where it was found that with the increase in the degree of rotation, the absolute values of the temperature increase and the change in the mass concentration of the fuel along the length of the mixing section can be used to regulate the combustion process. The created numerical model can be successfully used to determine the main parameters of the burner under the same initial conditions, changing the angle of inclination of the nozzles. The obtained results can be considered as a basis for further research related to increasing the efficiency of the combustion process and lowering the harmful emissions produced by it.

Ekonomiczne spalanie paliwa gazowego oznacza, że odbywa się ono przy minimalnym współczynniku nadmiaru powietrza i minimalnych stratach. Czynniki konstrukcyjne, aerodynamiczne i fizyczne mają decydujący wpływ na kompletność spalania i warunki zapłonu. Za pomocą programu ANSYS, używając symulacji komputerowej, badano główne charakterystyki procesu spalania w cylindrycznej sekcji mieszania palnika wtryskowego z płaskim płomieniem. Powstał model geometryczny, na którym można badać zarówno strumienie proste, jak i wirujące. Rozważa się możliwość numerycznego badania spalania paliwa gazowego (C3H8) w zamkniętym strumieniu powietrza wytworzonym przez wtrysk. Zastosowano model turbulencji k-ε, który opiera się na równaniu energii kinetycznej turbulencji i szybkości jej rozpraszania. Celem pracy jest badanie i analiza zmian i rozkładu temperatury, a także prędkości oraz stężenia tlenków azotu i tlenku węgla wzdłuż osi komory spalania. Wyniki przedstawiono dla kątów nachylenia dysz 45° i 0°. Na ich podstawie przeprowadzono analizę, w której stwierdzono, że wraz ze wzrostem stopnia rotacji można wykorzystać wartości bezwzględne wzrostu temperatury i zmiany stężenia masowego paliwa na długości odcinka mieszania, do regulacji procesu spalania. Stworzony model numeryczny można z powodzeniem wykorzystać do wyznaczenia głównych parametrów palnika w tych samych warunkach początkowych, zmieniając kąt nachylenia dysz. Uzyskane wyniki można traktować jako podstawę do dalszych badań związanych ze zwiększeniem wydajności procesu spalania i obniżeniem wytwarzanych przez niego szkodliwych emisji.

Streszczenie: Ochrona środowiska naturalnego związana ze spalaniem paliw stałych jest jednym z istotniejszych czynników transformacji energetycznej. Wprowadzone limity emisji dla poszczególnych pierwiastków, uważanych za toksyczne dla środowiska, związane są z koniecznością wykonywania pomiarów zarówno paliwa, jak i produktów spalania. Metody pomiarowe umożliwiające analizę pierwiastkową są bardzo wymagające w zakresie parametrów środowiskowych – wykonywane są w laboratoriach analitycznych, w których zainstalowana jest specjalistyczna aparatura. Zwiększenie odporności aparatury na zapylenie, drgania, zmiany temperatury i wilgotności otoczenia oraz zmniejszenie wymagań dotyczących przygotowania próbki do pomiaru pozwala na znaczące zwiększenie częstotliwości pomiarów i tym samym dokładniejsze przebadanie paliwa. Mieszanie w odpowiednich proporcjach węgli o różnej jakości jest jednym ze sposobów ograniczenia emisji.

The results of X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric and FTIR spectroscopy analyses of mineral composition indicated that the El-Lajjun oil shale is principally composed of calcite, quartz with minor amounts of kaolinite), gypsum, and apatite. The obtained oil shale ash products at 830 °C and 1030 °C are dominated by lime, quartz, anhydrite, portlandite, gehlenite, and amorphous phases. The TGA weight loss curves clearly indicate that it occurred in the temperature range from 310 to 650 °C. The decomposition of oil shale carbonates was detected above 750°C. The functional groups in the organic material of oil shale are dominated by the aliphatic hydrocarbons, the semi-ash of which had diverse structures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The most intensive of combustion occurred in the temperature range of 400–750 °C. In this temperature range, about 75 wt.% was accounted for the total mass loss.

Currently, the soot load from solid fuel combustion is not measured or counted, because it is included as part of particulate matter emitted from combustion sources. However, recent reports indicate that after carbon dioxide, soot is the most important contributor to current climate change. Therefore, an attempt was made to assess the soot load that is emitted during the winter season from individual heat sources where hard coal was burned or co-fired. Soot emission analysis and assessment were carried out in the selected settlement unit. Soot was collected monthly throughout the heating period at the chimney flue outlet, and analyzed for the PAH content. From these results and the information obtained from the users of individual heat sources, the soot load emitted from the installation in question during the entire heating period and the load of the sum of 16 PAHs and benzo(a)pyrene also during the entire heating period were calculated. It was found that the PAH content in soot largely depends on the type of boiler, the form of hard coal and wood addition burned, and the age of the boiler. The soot load, on the other hand, depends on the amount of hard coal burned, the type of boiler, how the combustion process is carried out, etc.
