In this study, the annual generation of Landfill Gas (LFG) and methane using the Scholl-Canyon model have been predicted for 1998-2030 for five scenarios of landfill management at the Mare Chicose landfill in Mauritius. Using the Approved Large-Scale Methodology AM003 and Approved Baseline...

One of the major problems associated with HCCI combustion engine application is lack of direct control for combustion timing. A proposed solution for combustion timing control is using a binary fuel blend in which two fuels with different auto-ignition characteristics are blended at various...

The oxygen-enriched combustion of biomass micro fuel (BMF) was carried out respectively in the thermogravimetric analyzer and cyclone furnace to evaluate the effects of oxygen concentration on combustion performance. The experimental results show that with the increasing oxygen concentration,...

This study presents the effects of O2 enrichment and CO2 (carbon dioxide) dilution on laminar methane flames. For that purpose, the following procedure was followed: i) measurements of laminar methane flame velocities carried out in a stainless steel combustion chamber at atmospheric pressure...

Results are presented on the effects of oxygen enrichment on the performance of a flameless combustion furnace equipped with a regenerative burner. Natural gas was used as fuel (∼97% CH4) and the oxygen concentration in the combustion air was varied from 21% to 35% (volumetric percent). The...

The energy efficiency of the separation of air into an oxygen-enriched permeate and an oxygen-depleted residue stream in a polymeric hollow fiber membrane module is studied. On the basis of the modeled performance of the module, three different counter-current lumen-feed flow system...

The combustion characteristics of a swirling inverse diffusion flame (IDF) upon variation of the oxygen content in the oxidizer were experimentally studied. The oxidizer jet was a mixture mainly composed of oxygen and nitrogen gases, with a volumetric oxygen fraction of 20%, 21% and 26%, and...

Dr. Mock began the session by paying tribute to Dr. Myron Dorfman, Professor of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Texas, who had just passed away after a protracted illness. Dr. Dorfman, more than other any individual, was responsible for bringing the geopressured-geothermal...
