In fact, the clean use of coal requires the cleaning of coal to ultra low ash contents. The goal of this paper is to develop and test an innovative coal cleaning process to reduce the ash content of coal and produce ultra-clean coal. Coal samples prepared from concentrates of Jincheng coal preparation plants were found to have initial ash contents of 13.67%. Firstly, the coal samples were preprocessed by means of screening, and then these coals were demineralized with the flotation method. According the Orthogonal experiment, the optimum conditions in Coal flotation are as follows: collector is 0.2ml, frother is 0.05ml, pulp density is 60g/L, particle size is 0.125-0.074mm, rotated speed is 2000 r/min, respectively. The experiment data indicate that the yield of ultra-clean coal is 23.64 wt% and ash in coal is 3.93 wt%, repectively.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"44 1","pages":"877-879"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78915410","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 optical loss of the parabolic trough is related with the local latitude, either for the east-west (E-W) or north-south (N-S) orienting mounted troughs. Based on the basic transform between solar coordinate and the earth surface coordinate, the cosine loss of for both the E-W and N-S parabolic troughs are calculated, according to the local latitude. The results indicate that, while the optical loss for E-W trough almost keeps as a constant of 16%, the optical loss for N-S system is highly dependent on the local latitude. Thus the critical latitude of 37.35° is obtained. For the place where its latitude is lower than 37.35°, the parabolic trough should be mounted along E-W orientation, otherwise it should be positioned in N-S orientation, to obtain the least cosine loss.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"219 1","pages":"94-97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76910615","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}

Piston bowl diameter and bowl bottom radius are found to have a more significant impact on performance than re-entrant angle. Because variations of piston bowl diameter and bowl bottom radius are found to have a bigger effect on piston bowl geometry, which mainly affect fuel-air mixing process near bowl side-wall and bottom of central convexity, resulting in marked effects on combustion process and performance.

As a secondary energy, its production would be restricted by large amount of energy consumption and low efficiency. It is advantageous if an electrolyser can be simply and efficiently coupled to a renewable source of electrical energy. In this paper, it investigated the optimal way to maximize the transference of energy from a photovoltaic (PV) array directly coupled to a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyser in a photovoltaic-electrolyte hydrogen generation system (PV-hydrogen system). The pivotal strategy is to find the series-parallel combination of the PV cells and electrolyser stacks, which produces the highest energy transfer efficiency. The optimal configuration is a PV array consisted of three parallel-connected PV cells directly coupled to a PEM electrolyser consisted of twelve series-connected electrolyser stacks with a day energy transfer efficiency of 99.52%. Comparisons between direct coupling systems and conventional ones have been presented. The result shows that direct coupling technology is feasible to improve the energy transfer efficiency in a PV-hydrogen system.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"208 2","pages":"52-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91421741","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}

An offline, non-linear constrained optimization is set-up to individuate the ICE power trajectory that simultaneously minimizes fuel consumption, suitably operates the battery and fully exploits daily solar contribution. The results highlight the importance of including thermal transients in HPV energy management.
