Biodiesels as renewable fuels are important in approaching low-carbon transportation. One
critical challenge associated with biodiesel production is the utilization of crude glycerol, an …

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 …

Combustion characteristics of palm biodiesel/methyl esters (PME) and natural gas (NG)
blend were examined using a model gas turbine swirl burner at vane angle (θ) 30°, 45° and …

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 …

Jet fuels with various properties are desirable for different operational or environmental
advantages, necessitating fuel-flexible technology. For example, JP-5 (A-3) and alternative …

Clean and efficient combustion of liquid fuels depends on spray fineness that aids fast fuel
vaporization and better fuel–air mixing. Swirl-burst (SB) atomizers generate fine droplets at …

Production of liquid biofuels derived from vegetable oils in recent years significantly
increased which causes surplus of by-product (waste glycerol) from this process. Therefore it …
