Abstract This article discussed the radiation and pollutant emissions characteristics of the catalytic combustion furnace based the combustion of lean natural gas-air mixtures in catalytic honeycomb monoliths and the influence of its exhaust gas on schefflera plants growth by means of theory and experiments. The radiation efficiency of the monolith alone varied from approximately 20% to 40%. The glazed tiles heated by the catalytic combustion furnace are more fine and glossy than that of conventional ones. Schefflera plants in experimental group in a greenhouse filling with catalytic combustion exhaust gas. On contrary, schefflera plants in control More >

Abstract Combines theories of gas dynamics, fluid dynamics and numerical heat transfer theory, the condensing flow characteristics of water vapor in wet natural gas within the Laval nozzle were studied. A mathematical model was developed to predict the spontaneous condensing phenomenon in the supersonic flows using the classical nucleation and droplet growth theories. The numerical approach is validated with the experimental data by using UDF and UDS modules in FLUENT software, which shows a good agreement between them, and showed that the mathematical model can better predict the parameter changes in the condensation process. The condensation… More >

Abstract This article discussed exhaust gas temperature and pollutant emissions characteristics of the combustion of rich natural gas-air mixtures in Pd metal based honeycomb monoliths burner during the period of start-up process. The burner needs to be ignited by gas phase combustion with the excessive air coefficient (a) at 1.3. The chemistry at work in the monoliths was then investigated using the stagnation point flow reactor or SPFR. The experimental results in catalytic monolith can be explained from SPFR. The exhaust gas temperature and pollutant emissions were measured by thermocouple K of diameter 0.5 and the More >

Abstract This article discussed the thermal efficiency, stability and pollutant emissions characteristics of the combustion of lean natural gas-air mixtures in Pd metal based honeycomb monoliths by means of experiments on a practical burner V. The chemistry at work in the monoliths was then investigated by the stagnation point flow reactor( SPFR), a fundamental experimental reactor. It was found that catalytic combustion inhibited the extent of gas-phase oxidation and increased the surface temperature of homogeneous ignition. According to the applications of catalytic combustion in the condenser boiler, the data of catalytic combustion condenser boiler V were More >
