An electrolyte jet fire setup is developed in this study to investigate the combustion characteristics of electrolyte jets with the flame-retardant additive tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) under high-temperature circumstances. Jet and ignition delay times and flammability are defined to characterize the flame-retardant effects. The fundamental parameters of self-extinguishing time and propagation rate are also measured for a comprehensive comparison. The experimental results show that the propagation of electrolyte flame at ambient temperature can be entirely stopped with 40 wt % of TCEP additives and 50 wt % can make the electrolyte nonflammable. Owing to the high boiling temperature and vaporization enthalpy of TCEP, more heat is required for the decomposition of electrolytes and TCEP mixtures, resulting in lower decomposition reaction rates and heat release rates. Thus, both the jet delay times and the ignition delay times significantly increase with the TCEP additives. Moreover, analyses on the spectrum of electrolyte jet flame reveal that the suppressing effects of TCEP on the combustion of electrolyte jets are operated by scavenging the OH radical and heat release.","PeriodicalId":509700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology","volume":"7 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141099204","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}

Both separate-layer and general injection information are crucial parameters in multi-layer oilfield injection systems. However, the significance of general injection information is usually overlooked during the optimization process of separate-layer injection. Moreover, conventional optimization schemes for separate-layer injection fails to meet the immediate and dynamic demands of well production. Consequently, a separate-layer injection optimization method based on ANN-Res model was proposed. Firstly, the primary controlling factors for production were identified through grey correlation analysis and ablation experiments. Then, a data-driven model was established with artificial neural network (ANN), in which the residual block was utilized to incorporate general injection information, eventually formed an ANN-Res model that integrates separate-layer and general injection information. Finally, a workflow for separate-layer injection optimization was designed in association with the ANN-Res model. Analysis of primary controlling factor for production shows that the combination of separate-layer and general injection information for production prediction leads to redundancy. The results of injection-production prediction demonstrate that the ANN-Res model is significantly better than that of the ANN model which only inputs separate-layer or general injection information. Furthermore, the result of optimization proves the proposed method can be successfully applied to injection optimization, realizing the purpose of increasing oil production and decreasing water cut, thereby improving oilfield development.","PeriodicalId":509700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology","volume":"5 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141121004","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}

Four wind speed predictors based on deep learning networks and optimization algorithms, were developed. The designed topologies are the multilayer perceptron neural network, the long short-term memory network, the convolutional short-term memory network and the bidirectional short-term neural network coupled with the Bayesian optimization. The models performance was evaluated through evaluation indicators mainly, the root mean squared error, the mean absolute error and the mean absolute percentage. Based on the simulation results, all of them show a considerable prediction results. Moreover, the combination of the the long short-term memory network and the optimization algorithm is more robust on wind speed forecasting with a mean absolute error equal to 0.23 m/s. The estimated wind power was investigated for an optimal Wind/PV/Battery/Diesel energy management. The handling approach lies on the continuity of the load supply through the renewable sources as priority, the batteries on second order and finally the diesels.

The IT was advanced (250 bTDC) as well as retarded (210 bTDC) for EPO run engine, and the obtained results were compared with EPO and neat diesel run engine at standard IT (230 bTDC). At full load, the peak cylinder pressure increased to 64.7 bar when the IT was advanced to 250 bTDC. The corresponding peak heat release rate also increased to 40.29 J/CA due to the advancement of IT in comparison with the standard IT. The brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) also improved at all loading conditions. However, the advancement of IT increased the nitrogen oxides (NOx), and temperature of exhaust gas slightly. In addition, 250 bTDC for EPO also reduced the unburnt hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and smoke emissions w.r.t the standard IT. Largely, the advanced IT improved the majority of the engine characteristics for EPO except for the NOx, but that is also lower than diesel-run operation. Thus, 250 bTDC (for EPO) exhibits promising potential to be implemented in CI engines.","PeriodicalId":509700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology","volume":"57 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141121687","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}

This fuel is obtained as byproducts of a chemical looping based oxidative dehydrogenation (Cl-ODH) process ethylene production. The byproduct gas mixture has 40.79% CO2, 39.49% ethane, and 4.88% methane by weight with other minor compounds. After initial combustion modelling, the gas fuel mixture was reduced to just the major species: CO2, ethane, and methane. The mixture was then tested for flammability limits and combustion performance under spark-ignition conditions. Effects of ambient conditions and stoichiometry like temperatures between 300 to 400 K with initial pressures from 1 to 10 bar were tested. The fuel mixture showed an overall reduced flame velocity compared to gasoline. Instability in combustion was believed to be caused by the dissociation of ethane under elevated conditions. At higher pressures, the flame produces lower cumulative heat release. Simulations were also performed using a model tuned to replicate the operations of the combustion chamber used in the experiments. Heat release and unburnt fuel mass data were calculated to identify the discrepancies in the combustion completeness at elevated pressures. The effects of CO2 quenching the flame coupled with the increased dissociation of the fuel species can lead to up to more than 75% of the fuel mixture being unburnt. Data from this study was used to modify a small-scale spark-ignition engine to use this fuel and produce usable energy.","PeriodicalId":509700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology","volume":"60 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140664225","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}

Recovery from a typical shale reservoir is usually quite low as numerous factors can affect the ultimate recovery. However, recovery factors inside and outside the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV), especially the variations spatially and temporally, are not yet fully understood as numerical simulation of shale gas production is still challenging. In this study, a dual-porosity, dual-permeability model was built to investigate ultimate gas recovery and its spatial variations throughout the production period. Parametric studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of matrix permeability, fracture conductivity, fracture half length, and operating conditions on recovery factors. Systematic and comprehensive numerical experiments were carried out to generate a probability distribution of ultimate recovery factors. The results presented in this manuscript provide insight into the impact that key parameters have on these recovery factors in and outside the SRV and the range of recovery factors one can expect from shale gas reservoirs. Fracture conductivity has the most impact on recovery in the SRV while matrix permeability can affect the recovery outside the SRV significantly. The expected recovery in the SRV is 24% in shale reservoirs. The methodology in this study provides a foundation to develop more-reliable models in accurately forecasting ultimate gas recoveries spatially for shale gas reservoirs. The new understanding can be applied to optimize field development, well spacing, and infill drilling to increase economic recovery.","PeriodicalId":509700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology","volume":"13 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140666972","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}

One promising technological solution is rooftop-mounted turbines into buildings. This study presents an evaluation of the potential for wind energy utilization on the rooftop of a typical 29 m tall building. The primary objective of this research is to develop a methodology that can effectively investigate the integration of small wind turbines (SWTs) into urban buildings, intending to promote energy sufficiency in urban areas. A robust framework has been developed that consists of seven fundamental steps. These steps include site selection, evaluating urban wind energy with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and on-site measurements, selecting an appropriate SWT, estimating the annual energy production (AEP), conducting an evaluation of the environmental impact, resilience, and economic analysis, and finally, installing the system. This straightforward yet reliable framework provides a comprehensive approach to assessing the viability of wind energy utilization in urban areas. The findings revealed that the most suitable location for installation had an estimated AEP of around 1030 kWh, leading to a reduction in emissions of 0.64 tCO2/y. Additionally, it was observed that the building's geometry significantly affected the wind flow, causing a substantial decrease in wind speed downstream. A significant decline in wind speed, up to 100% from wind incidence to the opposite end, can greatly impact energy generation. With less kinetic energy available, SWTs may generate less electrical energy. Selecting optimal sites and considering wind patterns is crucial for maximizing energy generation in wind energy projects.","PeriodicalId":509700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology","volume":"72 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140670500","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}

By modeling a four-stroke engine with dimensions of 210mm bore and 310mm stroke, operating at 900 rpm under full load, this research identifies distinct combustion characteristics that differentiate medium-speed engines from their high-speed counterparts. Key findings illustrate that super turbocharging in medium-speed engines enhances the combustion of the fuel-air mixture under elevated temperatures and pressures. Moreover, an increased stroke length promotes gas velocity and turbulence, facilitating fuel atomization and mixing. Notably, rapid fuel ignition occurs near the nozzle due to the high temperature of compressed air, reducing the ignition delay. As a result, the premixed combustion stage nearly disappears, with diffusion combustion dominating, especially pronounced with long-duration injection, a characteristic of medium-speed engines. The study also reveals a more uniform but elevated distribution of nitrogen oxides emissions in medium-speed engines, attributed to prolonged high-temperature conditions that both facilitate their formation. Early stages of diffusion combustion show high concentrations of incomplete combustion products. However, as the combustion process progresses, the conditions favor complete oxidation of these products at high temperatures, resulting in decreased carbon-based pollutions. Additionally, the larger combustion chamber and enhanced turbulence characteristic of medium-speed engines support efficient fuel and air mixing without necessitating the swirl effect required by high-speed engines, diminishing the dependence on wall impingement dynamics for air utilization. Consequently, efficiency optimization strategies for medium-speed engines, emphasizing adjustable injection parameters, encounter fewer constraints than those inherent to the spatial limitations of high-speed engines.","PeriodicalId":509700,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Resources Technology","volume":"131 S212","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140731470","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}
