Investigation of Fuel Geometry and Solid Fuel Combustion for Solid Fuel Ramjets
Solid fuel ramjets (SFRJs) are a simple means of sustaining supersonic flight. The utilization of solid fuels eliminates the need for moving parts or liquid delivery systems, and the solid fuels are typically inert, resulting in minimal handling requirements compared to solid propellants. …

Fuel cycle options for optimized recycling of nuclear fuel
… of transuranic inventories in spent nuclear fuel depends on both deployment of advanced reactors that can be loaded with recycled transuranics (TRU), and on availability of the facilities that separate and reprocess spent fuel. Three recycling strategies are explored in this study: (1) …

FUEL NITROGEN CONVERSION DURING FUEL RICH COMBUSTION OF PULVERIZED COAL AND CHAR
… and char nitrogen has been investigated during fuel rich combustion. The experiments were done with the objective of clarifying the roles of NO, HCN, and NH₃, and char nitrogen in the post-combustion gases in the first, fuel rich stage of a staged combustor. The experimental apparatus includes a …

Thin fuel film reactor testing for characterization of diesel fuel deposit formation
The need for specialized diesel fuel injectors is growing with increased efficiency and emissions regulation. These specialized fuel injectors have nozzle diameters of 150-200[mu]m which are susceptible to clogging from deposit formation. This thesis studies the deposit formation mechanisms with a …
