The study compares the macrostructure and stabilization parameters of premixed oxy-propane (C3H8/O2/ CO2) and oxygen-enriched air-propane (C3H8/O2/N2) flames at fixed inlet velocity of 5.2 m/s and under similar conditions of oxygen fraction (OF = 21% - 70%) and equivalence ratio (phi = 0.1 - 1.0) in a model dry-low-emissions (DLE) gas turbine combu...

The effects of jet diameter and spacing on flame structure and stability are examined in an oxy-methane micromixer-like burner for potential implementation in zero-emission gas turbines. Three burner headend geometries (HE1, HE2, and HE3) are compared at fixed flame-base velocity of 5.2 m/s and over ranges of equivalence ratio and oxygen fraction (...

This review overviews combustion technologies for reduced emissions and better fuel economy in industrial gas turbine. Lean premixed combustion (LPM) technology is introduced as a low-temperature combustion technique to control NOx emissions. The Dry Low NOx (DLN) is one of the most promising LPM-based combustors for controlling NOx emissions. Howe...

Many efforts have been made over the years to minimize the usage of mineral oil-based MWFs. This includes the trail of its alternatives, such as vegetable oil-based MWFs, nanofluids, etc. These alternatives have shown comparable results to mineral oil-based MWFs in producing a better surface finish and machining efficiency. Apart from the conventio...

Global warming due to the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere has directed global attention toward the adaptation of renewable energies and the use of renewable energy resources, like solar energy. Solar energy utilization could contribute to clean energy production, which is continuously needed due to increased population and industrialization....

In this study, novel Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) were manufactured using Nickel Titanium (NiTi) sheets together with Carbon Fiber-Polyetherketoneketone (CF-PEKK) prepregs for different aerospace applications. We have investigated the effect of various temperatures on the flexural properties of NiTi/CF-PEKK FMLs. Prior to manufacture, NiTi sheets w...

This study investigated experimentally the effects of H2-enrichment on premixed oxy-methane flames stabilized on a micromixer-like burner for clean energy production in gas turbines. The stable combustion zone was established over ranges of fuel hydrogen fraction (HF: 25–70% by vol.) and equivalence ratio (ϕ: 0.1–1) at fixed oxidizer oxygen fractio...

This study investigates the influence of heating rate on the tribological and corrosion properties of 52100 bearing steel samples consolidated via spark plasma sintering. The consolidation was conducted at different heating rates of 50, 100, 200, 300, and 400 °C/min and the thermomechanical properties of the resulting samples were characterized. Ba...

Microbial Corrosion or more commonly known as Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is of significant interest and importance to the oil and gas industry. Microorganisms such as sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB), sulphate oxidizing bacteria (SOB), Metal oxidizing and reducing bacteria are responsible of MIC, with SRB to be considered as major...

Hydrogen has a potential to be a clean energy carrier that emits only water after combustion and can be produced from diverse feedstocks. Hydrogen has much better combustion characteristics in conventional combustion systems and higher energy efficiency when used with fuel cells. More than 75 million tons of hydrogen are currently produced primaril...

The study compares the macrostructure and stabilization parameters of premixed oxy-propane (C 3 H 8 /O 2 /CO 2) and oxygen-enriched air-propane (C 3 H 8 /O 2 /N 2) flames at fixed inlet velocity of 5.2 m/s and under similar conditions of oxygen fraction (OF = 21%-70%) and equivalence ratio (=0.1-1.0) in a model dry-low-emissions (DLE) gas turbine c...

The stable and flexible micromixer (MM) gas-turbine technology is coupled with hydrogen (H2) enrichment to present an oxy-methane combustor that can sustain highly diluted flames for application in the Allam cycle for zero-emission power production. MMs have never been tested under oxy-fuel conditions, which highlights the novelty of the present st...

This paper focuses on FuelCell-based electromobility (Commercial and Heavy-Duty Vehicles) to judge its ability to reduce GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions in the Transport sector as to fulfill Paris Agreement demands to struggle against Global warming. Current LCA studies and literature show that BEVs (Battery Powered Vehicles) offer lesser emissions...

Most burner technologies in past studies were incapable of operating at the high CO2-dilution levels required in the oxy-fuel combustors of zero-emission power cycles. The present study addresses this gap by utilizing the micromixer gas-turbine technology, coupled with hydrogen enrichment, to present an oxy-fuel burner that is capable of dustaining...

This paper presents the economic, technical, and environmental performance of a Grid Connected PV System (GCPVS) designed for a residential building consisting of 14 families for six major cities of Saudi Arabia. HOMER Pro was used in this study for the evaluation of the techno-economical & environmental performance of the GCPVS. Neom, which a newl...
