In the present study, the combustion characteristics and performance of heavy oil are investigated. Further research on heavy oil is developed by adding content of Liquefaction Bio-Oil, because of its complex nature. So as to better understanding of HFBO combustion process and to improve efficiency and control emissions. The techniques used to study the heavy oil is TGA-FTIR, Single droplet, Gas analyzer and Spray combustor. All the required techniques are used to investigate heavy fuel blended oil (Mixture of heavy oil and Liquefaction Bio-Oil) combustion behavior with various HBFO of 3%, 5%, 7% and 10%. The combustion behavior of heavy fuel blended oil was performed using the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) at temperature 30 °C to 800 °C at various heating rates of 5°C/min and 10°C/min in air atmosphere. TG and DTG were used to study the mass loss characteristics due to the thermal degradation of HFBO. Single droplet and spray combustion experiments of heavy fuel oil with Liquefaction Bio-Oil are used to investigate the evaporation, atomization, combustion behavior and improve efficiency. The results show that improve in the combustion performance and characteristics of heavy fuel blended oil by using TGA. The droplet test results are good agreement with HFO and heavy fuel blended oil (HFBO) in two cases, found that ignition temperature, burnout temperature and combustion index are more satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":344653,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122425966","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}

The shorter the time of detection of faults is, the faster the recovery of the normal operation of the distribution network is. However, this task contains a challenge due to the complexity of distribution networks that are using both overhead and underground cables. Recently, many research activities are presented to detect the short-circuit fault in a distribution network and classified into three catalogs: (i) time domain reflection, (ii) traveling wave method, and (iii) impedance method. However, the first two methods have a very high investment cost, thus they are not used widely in distribution networks even their efficiency performance is confirmed. Therefore, this paper aims to study on many algorithms; e.g. Tagaki, Saha, Personal Algorithm; which are developed based on the last method, then a program is implemented in Matlab Simulink in order to test various algorithms. Moreover, these algorithms are tested with two real underground cables in the Center of Vietnam to figure out the best algorithm for the real application in Vietnam.","PeriodicalId":344653,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133657484","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}

Copper nanoparticles were generated in situ on pieces of commercial polyethylene terephthalte (PET) filter cloth by reducing [Cu(OH)4]2- ions by ascorbic acid in aqueous solution. Elemental analysis using energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrum of the modified filter fabric confirmed the presence of copper (0.15-0.35 $mu$g/mm2). Analysis of scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed that the sizes of synthesized copper particles varied from less than 100 nm to over 500 nm. Increasing ascorbic acid concentrations while fixing cuprate ion concentration resulted in higher load and lower sizes of deposited copper nanoparticles. Antibacterial activity of the modified polyester filters was assessed by passing suspensions of Escherichia coli NBRC 14237 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and in sterilized milk through these modified filters. Analyzing the effluent for viable bacteria showed that the antibacterial activity against E.coli in PBS was about 12 times more effective than that in milk. Moreover, increasing copper nanoparticles load on the filter resulted in increasing antibacterial effect toward E.coli. Leaching test showed that concentration of copper in the effluent after passing distilled water (1000 and 2000 m3/m2) through the modified filter was below the recommended limit for copper in drinking water (1 ppm).","PeriodicalId":344653,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Green Technology and Sustainable Development (GTSD)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132701280","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}
