This study examined the combustion of various agricultural pellets — wheat straw, hay, alfalfa, as well as spruce pellets — in a household underfeed 18 kW burner designed for wood pellets. The aim was to evaluate emissions and ash behavior under different air supply settings to identify the most efficient combustion conditions in terms of performance, emissions, and sintered ash formation while minimizing environmental impacts. While adjustments to the air supply could not fully prevent ash sintering, they played a crucial role in optimizing emission and performance parameters. Measurements of CO, NO<sub>x</sub>, and SO<sub>2</sub> emissions, and temperature-related parameters such as burning bed and flame temperatures, were conducted. Altering the air supply setting led to a substantial decrease in device performance, particularly for spruce pellets, where a reduction of up to 2.6 kW was observed at the measured settings. Hay pellets exhibited a significant increase in average CO production from 7944 to 12764 mg/Nm<sup>3</sup> and NO<sub>x</sub> from 307 to 851 mg/Nm<sup>3</sup> with varying fan settings. For alfalfa pellets, changes in air supply resulted in higher SO<sub>2</sub> emissions, ranging from 1479 to 1683 mg/Nm<sup>3</sup>. Upon analysis of ashes, Si, K, Ca, and Mg were identified as the predominant elements in the ash from the fuels, along with Cl, S, and P. Among the tested ashes from fuels, wheat straw had the lowest ash deformation temperature at 797.0 ± 9.9 °C, in contrast to alfalfa, which had the highest at 1115.0 ± 19.2 °C. These results highlight the operational challenges of burning agricultural pellets in underfeed pellet burners, particularly given that the average measured burning bed temperature exceeded 1000 °C in some cases.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Energy Institute","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 101936"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143176796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, 70 % ammonia blend produced compact flames than that of methane. Also, the lift-off height was shorter.

All in all, ammonia-hydrogen-nitrogen flames with less than 60 % ammonia fraction behave differently when compared to 70 % ammonia fraction fuel and methane.

In this experimental study, various strategies such as the preheating of the intake charge, augmentation of the compression ratio, and the introduction of 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (EHN) as an additive were implemented to enhance the combustion stability of pure methanol. In this study, an investigation was conducted on the combustion, fuel economy, and emission characteristics of pure methanol in a heavy-duty diesel engine. The experimental results revealed that the compression ratio of 21.5:1 had a more significant effect in reducing the ignition delay and combustion duration than the addition of 7 % EHN. Further, the compression ratio of 21.5:1 also improved brake thermal efficiency (BTE) by 4 %–11.9 %. In terms of emissions, with the addition of EHN in methanol under the lower compression ratio, NO and methanol emissions were higher. The peak particulate concentration and size of methanol gradually increased with load increasing. The incorporation of EHN resulted in an elevation in both the concentration and size, but still lower than those of diesel fuel. Based on the synergistic optimization of compression ratio and EHN addition ratio, the intake temperature required for achieving stable combustion was reduced, from 290 °C down to 70 °C, which was basically equivalent to 50 °C for diesel. The peak BTE of 30.19 % was achieved under the compression ratio of 21.5:1 and with the addition of 3 % EHN.

Results indicated that as ER increased from 0.06 to 0.14, the reaction of Shaerhu coal (SC) transitioned from pyrolysis to gasification.

Char combustion characteristics decreased gradually with increasing ER. As ER increased from 0.06 to 0.1, the content of oxygen-containing functional groups in char increased to its peak and the char structure became most disordered. When ER exceeded 0.1, these functional groups were consumed, leading to a more ordered char structure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The Energy Institute","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 102008"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143136152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
