The purpose of this paper is to review the present knowledge on ash formation, ash particle
transport and deposition during solid fuel combustion, with emphasis on particle sticking and …

Mitigation of fouling and particulate deposition in heat exchangers is the foremost concern of
this critical review study. Formation of vindictive scale, sludge and fouling layers on heat …

Based on the self-established experiment and test platform and evaluation system, we
studied the effects of hydrocarbon condensation on mass, hydrophilicity, color, and …

Fouling has limited the evolution of compact heat exchangers (represented by EGR cooler)
to smaller and more efficient sizes, an important reason is the unclear mechanism of the …

Stringent new automobile emission standards have prompted extended the use of exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) systems in additional areas of engine maps, resulting in the …

To comply with strict emission regulations, vehicles are equipped with exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) systems that control nitrogen oxide emissions by returning part of the …

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME) with the chemical structure H 3 CO [-CH 2-O-] n
CH 3 are a promising alternative fuel for improving emissions characteristics of internal …

In recent years, open-cell metal foam has gained attention for utilization for exhaust gas
recirculation coolers due to its large surface area and porous structure. Theoretically, the …

The premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) is an advanced combustion mode aimed
to simultaneously reduce exhaust emissions of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides with …

The ongoing trend towards miniaturizing electronic devices and increasing their power
densities has created substantial challenges in managing the heat they produce. Traditional …
