The increased level of emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere due to burning of
fossil fuels represents one of the main barriers toward the reduction of greenhouse gases …

Bio-oils produced by biomass pyrolysis are substantially different from those produced by
petroleum-based fuels and biodiesel. However, they could serve as valuable alternatives to …

In this study, we present a fuel-flexible dual-fuel combustor to simultaneously burn methane
and/or straight glycerol without preheating either glycerol or air by utilizing a novel flow …

Glycerol has very high kinematic viscosity and high vaporization and auto-ignition
temperatures, but it has been effectively atomized at room temperature by using a novel flow …

In a flow-blurring (FB) injector, atomizing air stagnates and bifurcates at the gap upstream of
the injector orifice. A small portion of the air penetrates into the liquid supply line to create a …

Efficient and clean combustion of jet fuels highly relies on their spray characteristics. Prior
studies have shown that the flow blurring (FB) injector developed in the recent decade could …

A twin-fluid pneumatic injector system with coaxial liquid and air streams mixed slightly
upstream of the outlet, is studied in a cross-flow arrangement to understand its working …

Ternary blends of pentanol, butanol and soybean oil are investigated and compared to
binary blends of pentanol/soybean oil and butanol/soybean oil. Ternary blends are …

Previous studies have demonstrated that the two-phase swirl burst (SB) injector incurred
ultra-fast and fine atomization, rather than a breaking jet core/film of conventional air …

A novel external-mixing atomizer capable of producing a non-conical spray was proposed
and investigated in this work. The charge-coupled camera (CCD) and phase Doppler …
