Formation and evolution of nano-particles in a laminar co-flow methane diffusion flame were investigated under two conditions: a pure methane flame and a methane flame doped with NaCl particles. Samples of nano-particles from different heights above the burner were extracted by a probe sampling...

Hydrogen is a promising source of energy with various applications. The most common method of producing hydrogen is steam reforming of methane; however, thermal cracking of methane can be used alternatively for hydrogen production with less CO2 emissions. In this study, thermal cracking of...

A lab-scale coflow burner was used to investigate the effect of air assist on the carbon conversion efficiency (CCE) and emission indices (EIs) of industrial flare operations in the upstream and downstream energy sectors of the oil and gas industry. A 25.4 mm diameter burner was constructed of...

Advancements in water heating and control technology have improved the performance of tankless water heaters in recent years. A tankless water heater coupled with a hydronic air-handling unit functions as a novel system known as a combination (“combo”) system that is used ...

Flaring has been a routine practice in the petroleum and petrochemical industry and flaring levels have remained virtually constant over the past ten years despite the efforts to reduce or eliminate the activity. Injecting an inert fluid into the combustion area in order to induce complete...

A lab-scale flaring facility was established to study the carbon conversion efficiency (CCE) and emission indices (EIs) of total unburned hydrocarbons (THC), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and black carbon (BC) for a 25.4 mm diameter steam-assisted flare....

Competitive-Consecutive and Competitive-Parallel reactions are both mixing sensitive reactions; the yield of desired product from these reactions depends on how fast the reactants are brought together. Recent experimental results have suggested that the mixing effect may depend strongly on the...
