Co-Firing Of Lpg And Diesel Fuels Through An Innovative Double Swirl Burner: Combustion Characteristics And Exhaust Emissions, Eslam O. Mater, Karim M. Soliman, A. Abdulnaim, Ahmed Abdelrazik Emara, Ahmed Salah Elsahy, Hany A. Moneib

Trends in advanced sciences and technology

The current stringent environmental regulations, the depletion of fossil fuels and the emergence of oil biofuels and synthetic gases had motivated combustion scientists to search for alternative technologies that meet efficient burning, flexible use of multiple fuels and conform to a clean environment. In that respect, several developments had emerged including, low swirl combustion for partially premixed mixtures, “Mild” combustion for diffusion flames. The present experimental study introduces a new concept that combines separate admissions of fuel and air with a central recirculation zone following the diffusion combustion mode, partial premixing within a premix chamber resulting in the creation of …


Air Jet Assisted Combustion Of Oil Diffusion Flames: Effects Of Injection Location And Excess Air Factor, Moustafa Ahmed Gamaleldin, Neama Youssef Ramadan, Ahmed Mohamed Abdulnaim, Ahmed Abdelnasser Adam, Ahmed Abdulrazik Emara, Hany Ahmed Moneib Jan 2024

Air Jet Assisted Combustion Of Oil Diffusion Flames: Effects Of Injection Location And Excess Air Factor, Moustafa Ahmed Gamaleldin, Neama Youssef Ramadan, Ahmed Mohamed Abdulnaim, Ahmed Abdelnasser Adam, Ahmed Abdulrazik Emara, Hany Ahmed Moneib

Trends in advanced sciences and technology

This study investigates a novel methodology for a coaxial disc stabilized burner with a central jet oil spray. It introduces multiple air injection jets within the burner gun's exit section, promoting earlier fuel vaporization and rapid fuel-air mixture formation in the premixing zone. This directly contributes to improved overall combustion efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions. The focus lies on identifying the optimal location for the air injection jets (fixed load, constant jet momentum, and angle) within the exiting premixing zone of the burner gun. In-flame measurements are conducted inside a cylindrical combustor at different air injection locations and varying excess …

Impact Of Glottis Area On Airflow Dynamics In The Human Trachea Using A Simplified Stenosis Pipe Model, Amany M. Kamal, Momtaz Sedrak, Abouelmagd Abdelsamie

Trends in advanced sciences and technology

A complex transitional flow is produced in the larynx during air inhalation process, pivotal for fundamental comprehension and medical advancements in treatment methodologies. This study delves into the influence of the glottis region utilizing a simplified stenosis pipe geometry, examining two distinct cases: (1) the axisymmetric case and (2) the eccentric case. Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations with shear stress transport (SST) 𝑘 − 𝜔 turbulence model with intermittency transition activated with steady, Newtonian, and incompressible airflow have been used. The analysis underscores the significant impact of the eccentricity on the velocity by increasing 0.6% comparing with axisymmetric case, also particularly affecting …

Dynamic Analysis And Experimental Verification Of Flexible Unbalance Rotor Supported By Two Identical Journal Bearings, Omar Ahmed, Hussein Sayed, T.A. El-Sayed

Trends in advanced sciences and technology

Abstract BACKGROUND: Analyzing the vibrations for rotor-bearing systems is a critical issue in the field of rotor dynamics. It is crucial to identify rotary machine vibrations, behaviors, and stability conditions. The main causes of vibration in rotating machinery are unbalanced masses, misalignment, mechanical looseness, shaft cracks, and other defects. METHODS: This paper investigates the experimental verification of a theoretical model, using a steel shaft with a disc set at the midpoint, supported by two symmetric fluid film bearings. The study examines the effect of unbalance on the dynamic behavior of the rotor and its vibration characteristics. The experimental investigation involved …
