Oxygen-enriched combustion of diesel engine can reduce smoke emission and improve thermal efficiency, but also lead to the increase of NO emission. In this research, experiments were conducted on a turbo-charged direct injection diesel engine under the two conditions of 2000 rpm and 180 Nm...

In the paper, combustion and emissions of a multi-cylinder CI (compression-ignition) engine fueled with DMF–diesel, n-butanol–diesel and gasoline–diesel blends were experimentally investigated, and fuel characteristics of DMF, n-butanol and gasoline were compared. Diesel was used as the...

Models of two-stage serial and parallel thermoelectric generators have been established in this paper. Low-temperature thermoelectric material bismuth telluride and medium-temperature skutterudite are employed in the models and the exhaust gas of internal combustion engine is used as heat...

This paper presents a simulation model based on an actual Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) bottoming system of a diesel engine. The ORC system is built to recover waste heat both from engine exhaust gas and jacket water using R245fa as working fluid. Simulations and thermodynamic analyses are...

For high temperature ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) used in engine waste heat recovery, it's very critical to select a high temperature working fluid. HCs (Hydrocarbons) usually have excellent cycle performance, but the flammability limits their practical application. Considering that some...

The paper analyzes the combined TEG-ORC (thermoelectric generator and organic rankine cycle) used in exhaust heat recovery of ICE (internal combustion engine) theoretically. A theoretical model is proposed to calculate the optimal parameters of the bottoming cycle based on thermodynamic theory...

An Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system used in the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) exhaust heat recovery was proposed and techno-economically analyzed based on various working fluids. It is significant to recover ICE exhaust heat (about one third of energy generated from the fuel) by ORC system....

There is a lack of the capacity to respond to peak loads in most provincial power grids of eastern China and coastal regions. A CDA (central dispatching authority), which is usually a regional power grid, is responsible to dispatch its own plants and allocate power generation to multiple...

The basic chemical composition of coal and ash is an important but insufficient characteristic for the reliable explanation of coal properties. The modes of occurrence of the elements, their origin and concentration in coal, as well as their behavior during the coalification process, are also...

Phase change material (PCM), has been widely researched in many previous works, shows a good potential for thermal energy storage. The present paper investigated the mesoscopic morphologies and evolution mechanism of microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) using dissipative particle...
