The test runs of this system had confirmed the effectiveness of this method of reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere (up to 50%).Unfortunately, due to the high price of natural gas and the introduction of limits on its use, currently the use of natural gas as a fuel for reburning is impossible.

Using the life cycle assessment methodology, the cases of using bales, pellets and briquettes from plant biomass as fuel in a boiler with a capacity of 500 kW were considered. The calculation of the energy conversion factor and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has been performed. It is shown that at distances of transportation of finished biofuel not exceeding 150 km, energy indicators (energy yield coefficient, specific cumulative energy demand) are within the recommended values corresponding to sustainable development. The distribution of primary energy consumption of fossil fuels by stages of the life cycle of thermal energy production from maize crop residues is shown. Reductions of greenhouse gas emissions from the introduction of heat production technologies from maize crop residues meet the new requirements of the European Parliament and of the Council Directive on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources on the use of renewable energy sources.

Thus, during the interaction of alcohols, acids, and aldehydes, the breakdown products of amino acids, sulfur compounds, and other components of the brew in the fermentation column are the formation of esters, aldehydes, and acetals of organic acids. \u0000The aim of the work was to determine the optimal technological modes of distillation of alcohol-containing intermediate products and by-products of the distillation/rectification process in the accelerating column, epuration of wash distillate in the epuration column, the concentration of rectified alcohol in the alcohol column, and its repeated epuration in the column of final clearance, under which the content of organic impurities in rectified ethyl alcohol would be the lowest. \u0000Materials and methods. Research methods were analytical, chemical, physico-chemical with the use of instruments and research methods used in the production of rectified ethyl alcohol. The concentration of volatile alcohol impurities was determined on a gas chromatograph with a column of HP FFAP 50 m × 0.32 m. It is determined that to increase the degree of extraction of organic impurities it is necessary to ensure the concentration of ethyl alcohol in the column bottom of the accelerating column, which does not exceed 4% vol.; pasteurization zone in the rectification column increase to 10 plates, reduce the concentration of ethanol in the epurate to 22-29% by hydroselection of impurities; for hydroselection in the epuration column use free of impurities bottom products of the accelerating column. To improve the quality of rectified alcohol and reduce energy consumption by extending the contact time on the plates of steam and liquid, a promising direction is the use of mass transfer equipment of cyclic mode.

The adoption of this Deal was preceded by several stages of a coherent EU policy in the relevant sectors. Possibilities for renewable energy development within the framework of the European Green Deal are considered. It is determined that preference is given to the production of green electricity, mobilization of the potential of offshore renewable energy, production of biogas and biofuels from biomass of agricultural origin, sustainable use of low-carbon and renewable fuels, including biomass and hydrogen, in hard-to-electricity sectors.

Drop breakup is important for a wide range of engineering and biomedical applications including production and processing of emulsions, aerosols, etc. Although drop breakup operations are widely used in various industries, however, till quite presently there is no unequivocal treatment of the physical mechanism, which causes the fragmentation of dispersions in shear flows. In this paper the principles of constructing a mathematical model, which predicts the evolution of initially spherical droplet in shear flows of viscous liquid over a wide range of flow regimes as well physical parameters of both liquid phases, are considered. A mathematical model is presented that describes the deformation of a single drop suspended in another immiscible liquid under the combined action of three forces, namely, hydrodynamic force, capillary force and dissipative viscous force. The influence of each of these forces on the process of droplet deformation is discussed in the paper. \u0000The focus of the study is to more deeply analyze the dynamics of droplet deformation in shear flows and the transitional effects associated with current droplet shapes. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of critical conditions for the onset of irreversible deformation of droplets, which leads to their destruction. The deformed droplet is assumed to be in the form of prolate ellipsoid of revolution. The drop deformation is regarded as motion of the centers mass of the half-drops, symmetrical with respect to the drop center. \u0000The results of numerical calculations for droplet deformation in shear flows in comparison with experimental data of other authors are presented. A simple criterion for destruction of droplets in shear flows has been obtained. The results of the analysis confirm the reliability of the model and the competency of the assumption made. The model is able to predict the nature of droplet deformation and the conditions for their destruction in shear flows with known operating parameters with a greater degree of accuracy than the existing empirical relationships.","PeriodicalId":23079,"journal":{"name":"Thermophysics and Thermal Power Engineering","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82541574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
