In the present era of environment-friendly and clean combustion systems, there is an increasing demand for fast and accurate tools for emission predictions. The best choice is the CFD-CRN method which is a combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and chemical reactor network (CRN) for decoupled simulation of fluid flow and detailed...

In this thesis work, we strive to describe and apply the modelling methodology for simulating a turbulent jet diffusion flame stabilized behind a bluff body by applying flamelet generated manifold (FGM) model and steady diffusion flamelet model for predicting the pollutant emissions from the flame. The flame under consideration is a CH4/H2 (1:1)...

In reacting flows, detailed chemistry computations are usually avoided precomputing the thermochemical quantities as functions of a reduced set of variables such as the Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) approach[34]. Although it mitigates the calculations of detailed chemical mechanism, the memory requirement associated to store the lookup table...

This thesis report discusses the design of a cost-effective and compact electric combustion air preheating for the LSV® burner. The industry has a complex problem to solve and an important role to play during the energy transition, that is needed because of global warming. Many industrial processes use heat generated by the combustion of fossil...

The lifespan of internal reforming solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is not yet sufficient. Among other design challenges, this is due to detrimental carbon deposition formations. This must be mitigated, without compromising the power output and efficiency of the fuel cell for it to become a commercial viable product. The carbon that is deposited...

In the future, fossil fuels will be replaced by renewable sources. Hydrogen seems to be a promising energy carrier (fuel). A lot of research has been conducted on the combustion of hydrogen, but the effect of the high diffusivity of hydrogen compared to other species (differential diffusion) was often not included in simulations of turbulent...

The idea of using hydrogen as a medium for storing excess renewable energy is gathering momentum but to deliver, several technological advances are required. One of the main challenges is boundary layer flame flashback (BLF) as a key operability issue for low NO<sub>x</sub> premixed combustion of hydrogen-enriched fuels; thus design of tools to...

Flameless combustion, or MILD combustion is a technology that enables stable combustion with high efficiency while maintaining very low NOx and soot emissions. It is characterized by uniform heat flux and can be achieved when fuel and preheated oxidant jets are mixed into a strong recirculating flow. It is a complex process which combines...

The current economic-development system based on fossil fuels can no longer sustain itself and is incapable of satisfying the needs of the global population. Nearly one third are unable to meet even their most basic needs that involve harnessing energy for everyday essential tasks such as maintaining livable shelter and food preparation. Models...

The work presented in this report investigates the effect of replacing natural gas fuel in a radiant tube burner in an industrial furnace with hydrogen fuel. The flue gas is fully contained inside the radiant tube burner and does not come into contact with the iron products inside the furnace. The burner interacts with the process side of the...

The maritime sector faces major challenges with increasing regulations from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and national regulations for CO2, SOx and NOx. Innovative fuel types for maritime use are now under development by various stakeholders. Methanol shows considerable potential as one of the most promising for implementation in...

The CFD modeling based on the two-fluid model (TFM) was used on studying the novel indirectly heated bubbling fluidized bed steam reformer (IHBFB-SR). This is a collaborative project between Petrogas and TU Delft for testing the advance’s reactor configuration, which indirectly supplies the heat via radiant burner on the center toward the...

In the context of this thesis, the effect of various diesel-methanol blends in a diesel engine compared to conventional marine diesel oil is investigated by experiments and in-cylinder simulations. The main differences obtained between diesel and methanol are the lower heating value, heat of vaporization and cetane number. During the experiments...

Waterborn transport currently runs on diesel driven Internal Combustion Engines<br/>(ICE). To reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions an option is to shift towards<br/>alternative fuels, like alcohols. This thesis focusses on methanol in ICEs. The<br/>combustion of methanol in ICEs can be done in numerous manners, where fuel<br/>altering,...

The concept of optical refrigeration dates back to 1929, when Pringsheim recognized that thermal energy associated with the translational degrees of freedom of isolated atoms could be reduced by the process of anti-Stokes fluorescence. Optical refrigeration of a solid was first experimentally demonstrated in 1995 with the Ytterbium-doped...

The efficient and clean combustion of liquid fuels is a fundamental requirement in the design of future energy systems. Simulation plays a more and more important role in the design of such burners. In this work the spray combustion simulation approach introduced by Ma (2016) is improved, and validated against the CORIA Jet Spray Flame database ...

Recently an oxidation and reduction cycle of metals has been proposed as alternative for liquid fuel combustion. Out of several possible metals iron is an interesting candidate because the oxide does not form making it more easy to develop a cyclic process. As a first building block towards a computation or particle dust clouds here a...

Moderate and Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion is established to achieve high thermal efficiency and low pollutant emissions, including both NOx and soot. The Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) is the most widely used combustion model in the existing numerical studies of turbulent MILD combustion. It is easy to implement and has...
