Hybrid catalytic combustion technology, which is a staged process comprising a preliminary catalytic partial oxidation (CPO) step followed by a homogeneous flame combustion with interstage heat removal, was tested for the first time with mixtures of methane and hydrogen. Short contact time CPO experiments were run to elucidate the effect of the progressive substitution of methane with H-2 in the fuel feed to the structured catalytic reactor, which was operated under self-sustained conditions at high temperature. Furthermore, a prototype radiant hybrid burner was realized and safely operated at atmospheric pressure with up to 80% vol. of H-2 in the fuel and a primary equivalence ratio in the range 2.4-4.0. Outstanding NOx emission levels were attained with pure methane feed, which were also confirmed with H-2-rich fuels, due to the effective reduction of both thermal and prompt NOx formation.

Thermal stability and SO2 resistance of Pd/Rh-perovskite based three-way catalyst wash-coated on cordierite monoliths Bayram, Bilal; Önal, Işık; Külah, Görkem (2022-01-01) The effect of hydrothermal aging and SO2 poisoning on the three-way catalytic performance of dispersed Pd/Rh-based and Pd/Rh perovskite-based catalysts were studied by using a dynamic activity test system that simulates redox fluctuations of gasoline engine exhaust conditions. Both catalysts were supported on ceria-zirconia-alumina and wash-coated on cordierite monoliths and were characterized by ICP-OES, BET, XRD, TEM-EDX, DRIFTS, and CO chemisorption. Their performance was very close when the catalysts we...
Soot and PAH formation in rapeseed oil spray combustion Allouis, Christophe Gerard; Apicella, B.; Barbella, R.; Beretta, F.; Tregrossi, A.; Ciajolo, A. (2002-01-01) The performance of rapeseed oil combustion in regard to organic pollutant production (solid particulate, light hydrocarbons, aldehydes and PAH) was investigated and compared to the performance of a typical heavy fuel oil burned in the same experimental conditions. C1-C6 hydrocarbons were formed in lower amounts in the rapeseed oil flame, but the composition and distribution was found to be very similar for both fuels. Due to the very high-temperature environment typical of stationary combustion a very low p...
Sooting behavior of ethanol droplet combustion at elevated pressures under microgravity conditions URBAN, BRADLEY D; KROENLEİN, KENNETH; KAZAKOV, ANDREİ; DRYER, FREDERİCK L; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet; CHOI, MUN YOUNG; MANZELLO, SAMUEL L; LEE, KYEONG OOK; DOBASHİ, RİTSU (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-01-01) Liquid ethanol is widely used in practical fuels as a means to extend petroleum-derived resources or as a fuel additive to reduce emissions of carbon monoxide from spark ignition engines. Recent research has also suggested that ethanol and other oxygenates could be added to diesel fuel to reduce particulate emissions. In this cursory study, the combustion of small ethanol droplets in microgravity environments was observed to investigate diffusion flame characteristics at higher ambient pressures and at vari...
Kinetic investigation of chemical vapor deposition of B4C on tungsten substrate Karaman, Mustafa; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur; Ozbelge, H. Onder (2006-12-01) Production of beta-rhombohedral boron carbide (B4C) on a tungsten substrate by the chemical vapor deposition from a BCl3-H-2-CH4 gas mixture was achieved. An impinging-jet reactor was used to minimize the mass-transfer limitations on the reaction kinetics, which made a detailed kinetic investigation possible. Results of the XRD and XPS analyses showed that the solid product formed on the substrate is a rhombohedral B4C phase. Both dichloroborane and boron carbide formation rates were found to increase with ...
Catalytic combustion of ethyl acetate GÜRMEN ÖZÇELİK, TUĞBA; Atalay, Sueheyda; Alpay, Erden (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) The catalytic combustion of ethyl acetate over prepared metal oxide catalysts was investigated. CeO, Co2O3, Mn2O3, Cr2O3, and CeO-Co2O3 catalysts were prepared on monolith supports and they were tested. Before conducting the catalyst experiments, we searched for the homogeneous gas phase combustion reaction of ethylacetate. According to the homogeneous phase experimental results, 45% of ethylacetate was converted at the maximum reactor temperature tested (350 degrees C). All the prepared catalysts were test...
