The experimental bench and technical and economic analysis models are setup to simulate and evaluate the WHR performance and NOx emissions on various operation situations. The results show that when the air humidity ratio elevates from 3 g/kgdry air to 60 g/kgdry air, the dew point temperature increases by 7.9 °C. When the flue gas temperature approaches the dew point temperature, the rate of improvement of the FGTHR system's total heat efficiency notably rises. With spray water (SW) flow rate and temperature of 0.075 kg/s and 45 °C, the WHR efficiency relatively increases by up to 8.4%. The maximum sensible and latent heat can be recovered by 4468 w and 3774 w, respectively. The flue gas temperature can be reduced to 46.55 °C and the average NOx concentration is 39.6 mg/m3. Compared with the non-humidified condition, the NOx and CO2 emissions relative reduction of the FGTHR system are 61.2% and 8.7%. The payback period of FGTHR system is 2 years. Through simulation, it can be concluded that the decrease in exhaust flue gas temperature and velocity, as well as the increase in exhaust flue gas humidity, have a negative impact on the diffusion of NOx in the atmosphere.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134914058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, numerical simulation was used to investigate the effects of CO2 atmosphere on MILD combustion of propane in a 20 KW furnace. The results show that the O2/CO2 atmosphere leads to a lower average temperature in the furnace, better temperature uniformity, and more uniform distribution of OH and CH2O compared to MILD combustion in N2/O2 atmosphere. Propane MILD combustion is established well under the physical and chemical effects of CO2. An analytical approach is proposed to describe the physical and chemical effects of CO2 on MILD combustion. The physical effect of CO2 shortens the ignition delay time and advances the pyrolysis and ignition of propane, which causes a high-temperature zone in the front furnace and reduces the temperature uniformity in MILD combustion. However, the chemical effect of CO2 dominates the establishment of the MILD combustion by increasing the ignition delay time and reducing burning rates, with the help of the physical effects of CO2 by intensifying the entrainment in the furnace. Thus, the overall effects of CO2 lead to enhanced temperature uniformity by enlarging the area and evening the temperature of both the ignition zone and combustion zone. These findings provide valuable insights into the physical and chemical mechanisms of CO2 in MILD combustion and have important implications for optimizing combustion processes for improved efficiency and reduced emissions.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134913962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as the effect and mechanism of carbon micrometer tubes, which have a similar structure to carbon nanotubes, on the promotion of hydrate growth is not yet clear. Therefore, in this paper, experiments on the growth kinetics of CO2 hydrate in oil-water systems under the effect of multi-walled carbon microtubes(MWCMTs) were carried out. The effects of pressure, temperature, and oil- water ratio on the induction period and gas consumption of CO2 hydrate were investigated. It also revealed the hydrate growth promotion mechanism of MWCMTs. The conclusions were as follows: (1) MWCMTs could significantly improve the hydrate gas storage capacity in an oil-water system by up to 80.3% over the pure water system. (2) Pressure and temperature had a large effect on the storage capacity and induction time of CO2 hydrate, and the results showed that the induction time decreased significantly with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature. At the same time, the hydrate growth time was significantly shortened, but the gas storage capacity first increased and then decreased. One reason for this was that the hydrate film hindered gas-water mass transfer, and the other was that the gas dissolved by the oil droplets rapidly generated hydrates and could not continue to transfer gas molecules. (3) In the oil-water system, lipophilic MWCMTs carried adsorbed CO2 to contact water, at the same time provided a large number of hydrate nucleation sites to promote hydrate formation.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41384090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate transient fluctuating pressure calculation and dynamically managed backpressure are required to achieve precise control of wellbore pressure in managed pressure cementing. Considering the transient flow characteristics of cementing fluids in the wellbore, unsteady transient friction, and the variation of high pressure-high temperature (HTHP) cementing fluid properties, a transient flow mathematical model of instantaneous starting pump during managed pressure cementing is established, and the method of characteristics is used for solution. Based on tht established model analyzes the magnitude and variation of wellbore pressure under different model factors, temperature conditions, pump start duration, and target pump flowrate, which can achieve more accurate analysis of transient flow. The pressure and flow fluctuations generated during the instantaneous starting pump of cementing are significant, and the dynamically managed wellhead backpressure can effectively control the wellbore pressure in the safe pressure window formations. This can reduce the risk of well leakage and provide reliable technical support for safe operations of instantaneous starting pumps during managed pressure cementing.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41570983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To offer a potential solution, we propose an Elasto-Hydrodynamic (EHD) seal that can work at elevated pressures and temperatures with low leakage and minimal wear. The EHD seal has a very simple, sleeve-like structure, wrapping on the rotor with minimal initial clearance at µm levels. In this work, a proof-of-concept study for the proposed EHD seal was presented by using the simplified Reynolds equation and Lame's formula for the fluid flow in the clearance and for seal deformation, respectively. The set of nonlinear equations was solved by using both the conventional Prediction-Correction (PC) method and modern Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN). It was shown that the physics-informed deep learning method provided good computational efficiency in resolving the steep pressure gradient in the clearance with good accuracy. The results showed that the leakage rates increased quadratically with working pressures and reached a steady state at high-pressure values of 15 ~ 20 MPa, where Q = 300 g/s at 20 MPa for an initial seal clearance of 255 µm. This indicates that the EHD seal could be tailored to become a potential solution to minimize the sCO2 discharge in power plants.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43850219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current research concentrates on an innovative strategy: integration of Paraffin wax and Jatropha biodiesel as a composite energy storage material (CESM) to amplify distilled water output during nighttime. The composite material, comprising Jatropha biodiesel and paraffin wax in a 1:1 ratio by weight, is meticulously examined for its impact on productivity, juxtaposed against a conventional solar still (CSS). Results reveal a substantial improvement in thermal conductivity with CESM, exhibiting a noteworthy 58.33% surge compared to pure paraffin wax. Furthermore, a Solar Still with Biodiesel and Phase Change Material (SSBDPCM) is pitted against a CSS, with continuous monitoring of water and absorber temperatures alongside distillate production. The findings illustrate that SSBDPCM achieves a 16% upsurge in water temperature and a 10% elevation in absorber temperature compared to CSS. Impressively, SSBDPCM achieves a staggering 63% increase in distillate production, yielding 3.6 and 3.4 liters per square meter, in sharp contrast to CSS, which only manages 2.2 and 2.1 liters per square meter over a two-day test period.Furthermore, a comprehensive cost analysis showcases the economic superiority of SSBDPCM over CSS. SSBDPCM demonstrates a compelling 29.2% reduction in cost per liter and a significant 25.9% decrease in payback period in comparison to CSS. These compelling outcomes underscore the substantial potential of the SSBDPCM approach in delivering heightened efficiency and cost-effectiveness, paving the way for a promising advancement in solar stills.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42052043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an example, sulfur is a promising fluid for use in thermal energy storage systems, with highly non-linear thermophysical properties. The viscosity of liquid-phase sulfur varies by four orders of magnitude due to polymerization of sulfur rings between 400 K and 500 K, followed by depolymerization of long rigid chains, and a decrease in viscosity, as temperature increases. These properties may compromise the accuracy of long-established empirical correlations in the design of TES systems. This work uses omputational fluid dynamics to compute steady-state free convection heat transfer coefficients of sulfur in concentric cylinders at temperatures between 400 K and 600 K. The results show that uneven distributions of high and low viscosity sulfur in the system cause variations in flow patterns and highly nonlinear heat transfer coefficients as temperature gradients increase. As a result, existing empirical correlations for describing system performance become inaccurate. Comparison of simulation results to predictions from well-established literature correlations show that errors may surpass 50%. Nusselt versus Rayleigh number correlations for heat transfer are significantly affected by the loss of self-similarity. The analysis proves that existing correlations are not able to capture the complex properties of sulfur in this temperature range, suggesting that alternative modeling techniques are needed for design and optimization of sulfur TES systems. These challenges are unlikely to be limited to sulfur as a working fluid or TES, but will appear in a range of energy systems.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44740317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the influence of methane blending on soot formation in ethylene flame combustion is studied experimentally and numerically. The visible spectrum of flame image processing technology was used to in situ measurement of laminar flame temperature and carbon smoke volume points in the experiment. The effects of different methane blending ratios on particle nucleation, coalescence, surface growth and oxidation process of soot were analyzed based on the piecewise particle dynamics soot model of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by using CoFlame Code. Results indicate that the synergistic effect promoted the increasing rate of nucleation and addition reaction of hydrogen extraction at low methane blending ratio, and the increase of the total mass of soot was mainly due to PAH condensation rate. The total amount of soot generation gradually decreases with increasing blending ratio. The overall trend of condensation, surface growth rate and soot nucleation in the flame decreases with increasing blending ratio. And the nucleation rate gradually shifts from a single peak to a double peak and increases slightly at the initial stage of the flame combustion reaction. It is worth mentioning that the change of three PAH precursor (BAPYRS, BAPYR and BGHIF) and the temperature explains the change of nucleation rate from unimodal to bimodal.","PeriodicalId":15676,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology-transactions of The Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48286158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
