A Comparison Between the Combustion of Natural Gas and Partially Reformed Natural Gas in an Atmospheric Lean Premixed Turbine-Type Combustor Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A small-scale combustor was set up to analyze the combustion of natural gas and two mixtures of partially reformed natural gas. The partially reformed mixtures can be formed using biomass to feed the endothermic reforming reactions. Before combusting these mixtures in a gas turbine, experimental work was done on a primary zone combustion chamber to examine the combustor behavior when switching from natural gas to the wet and dry hydrogen-rich ...
Characterisation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in flue gas and residues of a full scale fluidized bed combustor combusting non-hazardous industrial waste KU Leuven
This paper studies the fate of PAHs in full scale incinerators by analysing the concentration of the 16 EPA-PAHs in both the input waste and all the outputs of a full scale Fluidized Bed Combustor (FBC). Of the analysed waste inputs i.e. Waste Water Treatment (WWT) sludge, Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR), RDF and ASR were the main PAH sources, with phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene being the most important ...
A novel technique for detailed and time-efficient combustion modeling of fumigated dual-fuel internal combustion engines Ghent University
The present work details a study of the 3D-modeling of dual-fuel engines, with a specific focus on medium speed marine engines. These operate under the fumigated approach, which means that the second fuel, which replaces most of the diesel fuel, is added in the intake duct. This type of engine requires the least amount of modifications to the current medium speed diesel engine and is therefore an ideal retrofit solution to tackle global warming ...

Combustion of syngas in a pressurized microturbine-like combustor: experimental results Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The different routes for power production from biomass often lead to an intermediary product such as a synthesis gas or syngas, which is typically rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The simple design, fuel flexibility and size, which often matches the amount of waste energy available in industrial sites, makes microturbines an attractive solution for on-site, decentralized power generation using a limited range of alternative fuels such as ...
On the application of tabulated dynamic adaptive chemistry in ethylene-fueled supersonic combustion Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The demands for extending the limiting operation conditions and enhancing the combustion efficiency of scramjets raise new challenges to the research of reliable robust and controllable flame stabilization in supersonic flows. In the present study, Large Eddy Simulation of flame stabilization in a realistic supersonic combustor, employing the tabulation of dynamic adaptive chemistry (TDAC) method were conducted, in comparisons with other ...
