With the ever rising concern of global warming, carbon capture is gaining the reputation of one of the most challenging fields of research. A very promising technology to capture CO2 is oxy-combustion. Oxy-combustion offers several... more
Globally, renewable energy sees by far the fastest growth, with gasification and electrification remaining the main trends. As far as the local power utility, Eskom, are concerned they consist of a fleet of thirteen (13) coal fired power... more
Results of large-scale experiments on the thermal effect from deflagrations and detonations in rich fuel-air heterogeneous mixtures are presented. Motor fuels (gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel) were used. The fuel mass in the tests was... more
In order for saving the constrained resources and preservation of environment, the natural gas is a proven low cost and low emission alternative fuel to petroleum fuels for all types of motor vehicles. It is being widely used throughout... more
Atomization, vaporization, turbulent mixing, and the chemical kinetics of a liquid fuel impact the combustion efficiency, stability, and emissions within IC engines. When fuels with varying physical properties are used in the same fuel... more
Microwave co-pyrolysis (MCP) of waste cooking oil (WCO) and waste polyolefins (WP) was examined for its potential to convert these wastes into liquid fuel. The influence of performing the pyrolysis process under N2 atmosphere and vacuum... more
To investigate the combustion of liquid fuel spray under hot-diluted conditions, a novel type rest rig was designed and constructed at Sharif University of Technology Aerospace Advanced Combustion Laboratory (AACL). By examining flame... more
Liquid fuels have different physical and chemical properties which can affect the atomization, evaporation and mixing processes inside heat engines, including turbine and reciprocating internal combustion engines. In this work, the... more
With the aim of developing and testing the model of liquid fuel ignition by flame heat flux a simplified approach is presented to evaluate the ignition conditions on the basis only of well-known fuel characteristics. The case of a... more
Oil from the pyrolysis of biomass typically consists of two different layers defined as the aqueous and organic phases. The objective of this study was to determine the yield of liquid fuel that can be produced from the aqueous phase... more
