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 Jan 2024

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 …
