    No full text
    At the last meeting of our society in Philadelphia a brief description was pre-sented of three interesting species of the genus Clostridium (Spray, 1947) that had apparently not been previously identified. To these were assigned names pre-sumed to be suitable to their morphologic and physiologic characters. Time did not permit their full description, and it is the intention to give here more detail, following the form used in Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology. In addition to the routine description certain reactions reported by the author (Spray, 1936, 1937) are included. These three species were isolated from the sources indicated below, by methods given in the previously mentioned publications, including various procedures of enrichment, with subsequent use of the anaerobic dish proposed by the author (Spray, 1930). CLOSTRIDIUM NAUSEUM N. SP. This species was isolated thrice from topsoil of the University campus. Soil samples were shaken in tubes of sterile tap water and heated for 10 minutes a

    Computational Modeling of Turbulent Ethanol Spray Flames in a Hot Diluted Coflow using OpenFOAM

    No full text
    Spray combustion finds a wide range of application in gas turbines, internal combustion engines, industrial furnaces, etc. In turbulent spray combustion, liquid fuel is injected into the combustion chamber in the form of droplets. In order to improve the combustion efficiency and to reduce the thermal NOx emissions released during combustion, spray combustion could be operated in flameless mode. In a flameless combustion, the oxidizer is mixed with recirculated hot combustion gases to preheat and to dilute it. The dilution of oxidizer results in lower peak combustion temperature which reduces the NOx emissions and oxidizer preheating improves the thermal efficiency of combustion. In order to fully understand the combustion mechanics for its effective implementation in various applications, numerical simulations of flameless turbulent spray combustion are potentially useful because simulations are cost effective and serve as basis for further experimental studies based on the validation of numerical models. Turbulent spray combustion is a complex phenomenon involving two phases namely the gaseous phase and liquid phase. These two phases interact with each other through mass, momentum and energy transfer between them. This is complicated further by the interaction between the turbulence in the flow field and chemistry of the reacting species. Hence simplified models are necessary to simulate and understand the phenomenon of turbulent spray combustion. In this thesis, numerical validation study of turbulent ethanol spray flame using open-source software package OpenFOAM is carried out for the experiments done in Delft Spray-in-Hot-Coflow (DSHC) burner operated in flameless mode. The modeling approach used is Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes simulations (RANS) with Eulerian-Lagrangian framework for the continuous phase and discrete phase respectively. Models like evaporation and turbulence models used in the sprayFoam solver are optimized for the spray combustion and validated with experimental data for one flame. The evaporation models studied are Gradient diffusion model and Spalding model. It is found that Gradient diffusion model gives better prediction of droplet properties at higher axial locations than Spalding model. The standard and realizable k-? model turbulence models comparative analysis showed that standard k-? model has much better gas phase temperature prediction than realizable k-? model due to the dependence of combustion model (Partially Stirred Reactor model) on the turbulence mixing frequency, ?/k. These optimized models are extended to simulation of HI and HIII flames. The peak gas phase temperature was under-predicted by the PaSR model. The results showed the importance of analyzing the different initial spray conditions.Sustainable Process and Energy TechnologyProcess and EnergyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin

    Particle morphology of CuCl2 droplets in evaporative spray drying of aqueous slurries by laser diffraction and microscopy

    No full text
    New empirical correlations that predict the evaporative spray drying behavior of slurries are developed in this paper. The analysis examines a single droplet of CuCl2 solution in a continuum drying media. The results indicate a combination of convection and spray drying modes could improve the drying process. Validation of the experimental results involves comparisons based on non-dimensional analysis. The Ohnesorge number has a greater effect on the particle diameter than the Nusselt numbers. Analytical models of heat and mass Spalding numbers are developed for the aqueous solution, subject to various drying conditions. Also, the effect of temperature on the atomization flow rate is reported. The Log-normal distribution provides the most accurate fit for the measured data. Particle size diameters are predicted and compared with experimental results using SEM and laser diffraction. The results indicate the average particle size is about 229.5 μm.Atomic Energy of Canada LimitedOntario Research Excellence Fun

    Soot production in a tubular gas turbine combustor

    No full text
    Soot production in gas turbine combustors is not desirable since it is the major source of exhaust smoke emission and its thermal radiation to the combustor liner deteriorates the liner durability. Soot formation involves comparatively slow chemistry and equilibrium can not be applied to soot modelling in the combustor flow field. . The exact sooting process in the combustor is poorly understood given both the complexity and the limited experimental data available. The work reported in this thesis seeks to first develop in-situ techniques for retrieving spatially-resolved soot properties, mainly soot particle volume fraction, from within the combustor and also to apply the measured results to comparisons with predicted soot concentrations. Two probing methods have been demonstrated which also incorporate a laser absorption technique. The sight probe proves to be more reliable in the present measurements. The evaluation of the physical probing techniques in sooty laboratory flames reveals that the flame structure will not be substantially distorted by the probe. The disturbance caused by the probe is localised, a feature which is evident in the reported water flow visualization test. The necessary inert gas purge can be minimised to reduce the local aerodynamic perturbation. The measured soot volume fraction distributions are comparable with sooting levels reported in flame studies in the literature. The peak soot volume fractions are located off-axis, characteristic of the fuel atornization. The measurementsin the primary zone are restricted by the multi-phase character of the flow, where soot absorption can not be readily discriminated from fuel droplet scattering. Measurements are reported over a range of air-fuel ratios, inlet pressures and temperatures.

    Computational study on the influence of nozzle eccentricity in spray formation by means of Eulerian Sigma-Y coupled simulations in diesel injection nozzles

    No full text
    [EN] The present work analyses the effect of the eccentricity of diesel nozzle orifices over the spray behaviour by means of CFD simulations. Several orifice geometries with varying horizontal eccentricity (from 0.50 to 0.94) are selected. Their performance is assessed at a high injection pressure of 200 MPa, a 3 MPa back-pressure and non-evaporative conditions. The nozzle flow characteristics, including cavitation modelled by a Homogeneous Relaxation Model (HRM), are accounted for in the spray performance by means of a Sigma - Y model. The code is validated via two reference nozzles, the so called "Spray A" of the Engine Combustion Network plus a second nozzle from a production injector, and then extended to the eccentric geometries. The results and discussions include spray angle and penetration, air entrainment and flow parameters of the nozzle inner conditions versus the eccentricity value.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades of the Spanish Government.

    The performance of geometric conservation-based algorithms for incompressible multifluid flow

    No full text
    This article deals with the implementation and testing of seven segregated pressure-based algorithms for the prediction of incompressible multifluid flow. These algorithms belong to the geometric conservation-based algorithm (GCBA) group, in which the pressure-correction equation is derived from the constraint on volume fractions (i.e., the sum of volume fractions equals 1). The pressure-correction schemes in these algorithms are based on SIMPLE, SIMPLEC, SIMPLEX, SIMPLEM, SIMPLEST, PISO, and PRIME. The performance and accuracy of these algorithms are assessed by solving eight one-dimensional two-phase flow problems and comparing results with published data. The effects of grid size on convergence characteristics are analyzed by solving each problem over different grid sizes. Results clearly demonstrate the capability of all GCBA algorithms to predict a wide range of multifluid flow situations. Based on the convergence history plots and CPU times obtained for the problems solved, the GCBA can be divided into two groups, with the one composed of SIMPLEST and PRIME being generally less efficient than the second group, to which the remaining algorithms belong.ACHARYA S, 1989, NUMER HEAT TR B-FUND, V15, P131, DOI 10.1080-10407798908944897; AlTaweel AM, 1996, CHEM ENG RES DES, V74, P445; AMSDEN AA, 1975, LANUREG5680 LANL; AMSDEN AA, 1977, LANUREG6994 LANL; BAGHDADI AHA, 1979, THESIS U LONDON IMPE; Beckermann C., 1993, APPL MECH REV, V46, P1; BEHROUZI P, 1993, P 6 WORLD FILTR C NA, P474; Boisson N, 1996, INT J NUMER METH FL, V23, P1289, DOI 10.1002-(SICI)1097-0363(19961230)23:121289::AID-FLD4733.0.CO;2-Q; BOUILLARD JX, 1989, AICHE J, V35, P908, DOI 10.1002-aic.690350604; CARVER MB, 1986, NUMER HEAT TRANSFER, V10, P229, DOI 10.1080-10407788608913518; CARVER MB, 1984, J FLUID ENG-T ASME, V106, P147; CELIK I, 1990, FED ASME, V91, P19; Darwish M, 2001, NUMER HEAT TR B-FUND, V40, P99; DARWISH MS, 1994, NUMER HEAT TR B-FUND, V26, P79, DOI 10.1080-10407799408914918; Darwish MS, 1998, NUMER HEAT TR B-FUND, V34, P191, DOI 10.1080-10407799808915054; DEMIRDZIC I, 1993, INT J NUMER METH FL, V16, P1029, DOI 10.1002-fld.1650161202; Dohi N, 1999, CHEM ENG COMMUN, V171, P211, DOI 10.1080-00986449908912758; DREW DA, 1983, ANNU REV FLUID MECH, V15, P261, DOI 10.1146-annurev.fl.15.010183.001401; ERDAL FM, 1998, P SPE ANN TECHN C EX; Ferziger J, 1996, COMPUTATIONAL METHOD; Forrester SE, 1998, CHEM ENG SCI, V53, P603, DOI 10.1016-S0009-2509(97)00352-7; GASKELL PH, 1988, INT J NUMER METH FL, V8, P617, DOI 10.1002-fld.1650080602; GHANI AG, 1999, 10 WORLD C FOOD SCI; Gidaspow D., 1994, MULTIPHASE FLOW FLUI; GOMEZ LE, 1998, SPE ANN TECHN C EXH; GOSMAN AD, 1992, AICHE J, V38, P1853; GRAY WG, 1989, INT J MULTIPHAS FLOW, V15, P81, DOI 10.1016-0301-9322(89)90087-6; HUANG B, 1989, THESIS U C BERNARD L; Ishii M., 1975, THERMOFLUID DYNAMIC; ISSA RI, 1982, FS8215 IMP COLL; KELLY JM, 1993, PNLSA18878 BAT PAC N; LEONARD BP, 1987, NUMERICAL METHODS LA, V15, P35; Lines PC, 2000, CHEM ENG RES DES, V78, P342, DOI 10.1205-026387600527455; LO SM, 1990, 13432 ARER HARW LAB; MALISKA CR, 1983, P 3 INT C NUM METH L, P656; Mitchell CR, 1994, 940642 AIAA; MORSI SA, 1972, J FLUID MECH, V55, P193, DOI 10.1017-S0022112072001806; Moukalled F, 2002, NUMER HEAT TR B-FUND, V42, P259, DOI 10.1080-10407790190053941; Moukalled F, 2001, J COMPUT PHYS, V168, P101, DOI 10.1006-jcph.2000.6683; Mundo C, 1998, ATOMIZATION SPRAY, V8, P625; PATANKAR SV, 1972, INT J HEAT MASS TRAN, V15, P1787, DOI 10.1016-0017-9310(72)90054-3; Rhie C.M., 1986, 860207 AIAA; RIVARD WW, 1978, LANUREG6623; Ruger M, 2000, ATOMIZATION SPRAY, V10, P47; Soo S.
