Practical diesel fuel sprays under high-pressure conditions were investigated by using multidimensional modeling combined with continuous thermodynamics and high-pressure multicomponent fuel ...

This paper deals with mathematical equations for compressibility factor, enthalpy, and entropy of real combustion gases. These equations are approximated representations of the thermodynamic ...

Recently, a research group led by Prof. GAO Xiaoming and Prof. LIU Kun from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed a concentration-independent ...

If the reaction takes place at constant volume, no work is done and application of the first law indicates that the energy release, Q v, is the change in the internal energy of the system: Q v = (DU) ...

With the latest advancement of F, G, H, and JClass combustion turbines, combined-cycle designs are affected when compared to the previous generation of FClass and smaller machines. This article ...

The X-Engine technology used in the XTS-210 is a direct drive rotary approach that can be viewed as an "inverted" Wankel engine. It has a trochoidal rotor with a three-lobed housing, but it utilizes a ...

When I began my power industry career years ago (initially in the chemistry lab of a coal-fired power plant), the criticality of proper chemistry control of steam boilers, cooling water systems, and ...
