The fuels focussed in this study are a blend of palm oil biodiesel and regular diesel dispersed with 50 ppm magnesia nanoflakes, and a pure diesel dispersed with 50 ppm magnesia nanoflakes. These fuels are compared with regular diesel which is considered as the base reference fuel, as well as with the biodiesel-diesel blend. From the experimental measurements, we inferred that the fuel density, viscous nature, and calorific value enhanced with the addition of nanoflakes. As for the engine performance attributes, the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) is lessened by 3.08% and 2.88% for particle dispersed biodiesel-diesel blend and particle dispersed diesel, respectively, whereas the brake thermal efficiency (BTE) enhances by 5.04% for particle dispersed biodiesel-diesel blend and 2.74% for particle dispersed diesel. With reference to emission, the unburnt hydrocarbon (UHC), white damp (CO), particulate exhaust or smoke, and the nitrogen oxides (NOx) are reduced by 9.51%, 18.71%, 13.64%, and 5.63%, respectively for particle dispersed biodiesel-diesel blend and 10.35%, 16.54%, 13.64%, 19.47%, and 4.70%, respectively for particle dispersed diesel.

A cogeneration system can recover an engine’s waste heat and provide both heat and electrical energy at the same time, resulting in a high total efficiency of 80%. In Japan, since 65% of the installed cogeneration systems are gas engines and about 49% of the total power generation capacity is fueled by natural gas, increasing the efficiency of natural gas engines, whose efficiency is currently about 40%, enhances the utilization of both heat and electrical energy, thus corresponding to various environmental and customer demands. One of the most effective ways for improving the thermal efficiency of combustion engines and reducing the harmful emissions of undesirable combustion products, such as nitrogen oxides, is the use of lean-burn techniques and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) (Heywood, 2018). Although such methods have already been in practical use, they still face many technical problems, such as the substantial decrease in the burning velocity and the unstable combustion in the lean or diluted mixture region. To solve these problems, prechamber ignition systems are commonly used in gas engines to improve their inflammability and enhance the combustion characteristics in the lean or diluted mixture region. A prechamber ignition system has a small “prechamber” whose volume is less than 5% of the main chamber’s volume. The combustible mixture is first ignited in the prechamber, resulting in a torch flame that can burn a leaner mixture in the main chamber, where the torch flame is injected from the prechamber into the main chamber. Since the combustion characteristics in gas engines depend on the injected torch Riku YAMASHITA*, Satoshi WAKU*, Daisuke MORI*, Seiya UENO*, Kimitoshi TANOUE* and Yasuo MORIYOSHI** * Oita Univ.

The airflow behavior in the flow channel and heat sink performance are investigated at the Reynolds numbers between 2000 and 5000. The twisted tape and perforated twisted tape with twist ratio between 2.5 and 3.5 are equipped between the fins of the PFHS. For perforated twisted tape, the holes are drilled along the twisted tape length with the ratio of perforation diameter to twisted taped width (d/W) between 0.2 and 0.6. The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop are enhanced by decreasing the twist ratio and increasing the Reynolds number and the d/W ratio between 0.2 and 0.4. However, they are dropped when the d/W ratio higher than 0.4. The highest thermal performance factors of the plate fin heat sink equipped with twisted tape (PFHSTT) and the plate fin heat sink equipped with perforated twisted tape (PFHSPTT) are 1.28 and 1.33, respectively. The correlations of the Nusselt number and friction factor related to twist ratio and d/W ratio are generated and proposed for designing and selecting in the future. between perforation thermal performance. the impact of the plate the performance of a PFHS. the air bypass the of a good a of the performance of PFHS with different fin forms of sinks.

The rectangular flow channel had a width of 27 mm, a height of 25 mm, and a length of 1.0 m. A 4.5-inch axial fan, which was controlled with an inverter, was installed at the tunnel entrance. The honeycomb (straightener) was used to eliminate the twisted airflow from the entrance before entering the PFHS. The hot wire anemometer monitored the airflow velocity inside the wind tunnel. To simulate the actual working conditions, the heat sink base was placed on the plate heater surface, which was used as a heat source. Silicone thermal grease was coated on the heater surface to reduce thermal contact resistance. The variable voltage transformer adjusted the supplied heat flux from a 100 W plate heater. The heater was embedded in a Bakelite rectangular rod with a 65-mm width, 65-mm height, and 120-mm length, and the wind tunnel was covered by 10 mm of insulation. To read the temperature of airflow at the PFHS’s entrance and exit, five T-type thermocouples were installed at the center of the flow channel. Two thermocouples were placed before the heat sink at distances of 20 and 40 mm. Similarly, three thermocouples were located after the heat sink at distances of 20, 40, and 60 mm. Four thermocouples were positioned at 1 mm below the base surface to measure the average surface temperature. The distance between thermocouples along the heat sink length was 15 mm. The data logger connected to the computer recorded all temperatures obtained from the thermocouples. A digital manometer logged the pressure difference across the heat sink.

The considered roughness elements were porous transverse square ribs and rectangular sectioned short flat plates which were mounted on porous walls with constant spacings. The spacings were controlled to reproduce the so-called k- and d-type roughness geometries. The values of the pore-per-inch of the materials of the roughness elements and the porous wall were the same in each case. Three di ff erent foamed porous materials were considered while their porosities were approximately 0.8. By the assessment of the logarithmic mean velocity profiles of the two roughness cases, it is confirmed that a linear relationship between the zero-plane displacement and the roughness scale exists. The data of the flat porous walls without roughness elements (Suga et al., 2010; 2017) are also confirmed to have the same trend regardless of the porous media. We found an e ff ective displacement parameter which linearly increases as the pore diameter.

The structure of the porous electrodes that affects cell performance is formed during drying of the electrode slurries. However, directly observing the state of the opaque electrode slurries is difficult, and thus their drying behavior has not been well understood. This study focuses on the variation in coated film thickness and the variation of electrical resistance of the electrode slurries during drying due to solvent evaporation and solid-phase agglomeration. A novel measurement technique of the electrode slurries’ electrical resistance is developed using a microelectrodeterminal chip. Time-dependent variations of electrical resistance and film thickness during drying are simultaneously measured. The results are analyzed and compared with the numerical simulations results.

Many researches about MILD combustion have been recently performed, but studies on MILD combustion of renewable fuel such as ethanol has been very scarce and particularly, specific information on the NOX production in ethanol-air MILD combustion has not been reported yet. In order to satisfy the condition for MILD combustion, internal recirculation is known to be essential in order to entrain the combustion products gas into air and fuel jets of combustion system. In this work, a series of numerical analysis with simplified opposed jet geometry have been done using the OPPDIF in Ansys program. Numerical analysis on how the recirculation ratio (KV) affects NOX emission in the ethanol-air combustion for MILD formation were carried out under the condition of various burnt gas dilution in reactant flow. The results show that the temperature was decreased by the increase of the recirculation ratio and the maximum heat release value became also low by the increase of the recirculation ratio. It was also found that the pyrolysis zone of the heat release was disappeared and the two heat release peaks are merged into one as combustion pattern is changed to MILD combustion mode.","PeriodicalId":17405,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Thermal Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66343017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
