Supersonic Combustion of Solid Fuels
… literature on the supersonic combustion of solid fuels to lower temperature operating conditions and show that a higher inlet temperature is conducive to sustained combustion and higher regression rates. The regression rates of the fuel grains are measured to determine a concentration of …

Single droplet combustion of alternative fuels
… gas emissions grows, research into alternative fuels is becoming increasingly important. Biofuels, such as biodiesel and ethanol, are already used in the transportation sector. Rising biodiesel production generates byproducts like glycerol and surplus alcohols, which are also candidates for …

Ashes to Ashes: Identifying archaeological fuels
… comparison to modern analogues. Modern analogue fuels were ashed at 2000C, 4000C, and 9000C then analysed with a suite of methods, the results were then used to inform the development of an approach for the identification of archaeological fuels. These methods were tested using samples from Ness …

Combustion characteristics of alternative liquid fuels
… Esters (PME) and blends of PME with conventional fuels are determined using the jet-wall stagnation flame configuration. The same technique is also used to measure the laminar flame speed of diesel, Jet-A1, n-heptane, acetone, methane and methane/acetone. The spray atomization characteristics of a …

Oxy-combustion of High Water Content Fuels
… - direct combustion of high water content fuels. Due to the high water content in the fuels, they may not burn under air-fired conditions. Therefore, oxy-combustion is applied. Three applications of this concept in power generation are proposed - direct steam generation for the turbine …

Alcohols and other oxygenates in automotive fuels
… with those produced using pure Series F-7 fuels. From this a suggested RON of the blend was derived. RON increase was less when using a higher RON base fuel in the blend. Most individual oxygenates showed similar effects in similar concentrations when their oxygen content was comparable. …

Injection of liquid fuels in supersonic airstreams
An experimental study of the ignition of liquid fuels injected transverse to a hot supersonic (M=1.65) air stream was conducted. The liquids considered were kerosene, CS₂ and water as an inert control. The major variables were: air stagnation temperature in the range 1500 to 2300ºF, injectant flow …

Fuels from tyres by pyrolysis in molten salts
The current annual arisings of used car/van tyres in the U.K. has been found to be around 25m (188,000 tonnes). After the established reuse industries have taken their requirements this leaves 13.5m (102,000 tonnes) waste tyres; a quantity that can no longer be satisfactorily tipped. Laboratory …
