This study investigates the Rankine vapor power thermodynamic cycle using steam/water as working fluid, which is common in commercial plants for generation source of rotary shaft needed to drive electric generators. The four-process version, comprises a water pump section, boiler/superheater steam turbine and condenser was considered. performance this depends on several design parameters. varied single independent variable, absolute pressure condenser, by factor 256, from 0.78125 200 kPa. peak temperature were fixed at 50 bar (5,000 kPa) 600°C, respectively, corresponding base case with value condenser's 12.5 kPa (0.125 bar). analysis performed thermodynamics software package Cantera an extension Python programming language. results suggest that over range pressures examined, logarithmic function can be deployed describe dependence input heat, net output work, efficiency condenser. Each these three metrics decreases increases. However, better choice how dryness (steam quality) end section increases rises.

Published: March 4, 2025

This study comprehensively reviewed the engineering theories and technologies required for using ammonia as a fuel. The slow reaction rate high NOx emissions of remain challenging issues with existing combustion technologies. Accordingly, causes these problems were analyzed results research aimed at solving commercializing examined to explore future directions development technology. equivalence ratio (ER) emerged most important factor, closely related operational stability emissions. Various technologies, such staged flameless combustion, have been attempted, but overall ER < 1, necessitating post-treatment processes. internal recirculation gases is key technology that enhances its extreme case, technology, predicted form stable combustion. supplying radicals are lacking in pure process through gases. By utilizing this, if secured control established, it believed commercialization will be possible future.

Reduced-Order Modeling (ROM) of a Segmented Plug-Flow Reactor (PFR) for Hydrogen Separation in Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles (IGCC)

Processes, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13(5), P. 1455 - 1455

In an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), a process produces gas stream from solid fuel, such as coal or biomass. This (syngas synthesis gas) resulting the contains carbon monoxide, molecular hydrogen, and dioxide (other gaseous components may also be present depending on gasified fuel gasifying agent). Separating hydrogen this syngas has advantages. One of methods to separate is selective permeation through palladium-based metal membrane. separation complicated it depends nonlinearly various variables. Thus, desirable develop simplified reduced-order model (ROM) that can rapidly estimate performance under operational conditions, preliminary stage computer-aided engineering (CAE) in chemical processes sustainable industrial operations. To fill gap, we here proposed procedure for one-dimensional steady plug-flow reactor (PFR) use investigate membrane (MR), produced (IGCC). model, (a feed stream) enters one side into retentate zone, while nitrogen sweep opposite neighbor permeate zone. The two zones are separated by permeable palladium surfaces selectively hydrogen. After analyzing profile base case (300 °C uniform temperature, 40 atm absolute pressure, 20 pressure), temperature module, retentate-side permeate-side pressure varied individually their influence investigated. all simulation cases, fixed targets 95% recovery 40% mole-fraction at exit demanded. module length allowed change order satisfy these targets. Other dependent permeation-performance variables investigated include logarithmic mean pressure-square-root difference, apparent permeance, efficiency factor permeation. contributions our study linked fields applications, production, gasification, analytical modeling, numerical analysis. addition separation, linear nonlinear regression models derived obtained results. work gives general insights via membranes (MR). For example, most effective improve performance. Increasing value 120 results proportional gain permeated mass flux, with about 0.05 kg/m2.h gained per 1 increase decreasing bar 0.2 causes flux exponentially 1.15 kg/m2.h. 5.11 United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) numbers 7, 9, 11, 13.

The mechanism of flame front propagation in NH3/air and NH3/H2/air steady, laminar premixed flames is examined. Since the process characterised by a state chemical non-equilibrium, analysis focuses on explosive mode that introduced kinetics. chemistry expressed this one tends to lead system away from equilibrium sustains non-equilibrium state. algorithmic tools Computational Singular Perturbation method are employed, so not hindered size detailed kinetics employed. Under engine-relevant conditions stoichiometric mixture, it shown case driven reaction far closer front; latter assisted . These reactions mainly responsible for heat released, effectively feeding most exothermic reactions, which OH-consuming. ensuing activity neighbourhood maximum release rate generates upstream diffusion heat, NH2, NO, H H2, initiate ahead front.
