By employing the Eulerian-Eulerian Two Fluid Model, the effect of different particle size, supercritical CO_(2) (scCO_(2)) velocity at slit jet (U_(jet)) and initial bed height on the macroscopic characteristics (i.e., fountain morphology, profiles of particle velocity, momentum transfer characteristics among particles, transient temperature evolutions of particles, interphase heat transfer coefficient and wall to bed heat transfer characteristics) in the pseudo 2D rectangular spouted bed using scCO_(2) as fluidizing agent is numerically studied in detail herein. Considering there are currently no relevant visualized experiments reported using scCO_(2) as a fluidized agent due to the extreme operating pressure of CO_(2) (25 MPa in this paper) under supercritical conditions, present numerical model was validated with experimental data by using air as the fluidizing agent, confirming simulated instantaneous volume fraction distribution of air and transient temperature evolutions of particles basically consistent with the experiments. Numerical results reveal some of the internal relations among hydrodynamics characteristics in bed, momentum transfer characteristics among particles and relevant heat transfer behaviours. Results show larger Ujet and smaller particle size will accelerate the particles' translational motion in spout, spout core and fountain core zone. Larger particle concentration will promote inter-particle collisions while suppress the kinetic motion of particles in above zones. Decrease the particle size will enhance interphase convective heat transfer coefficient, while increasing U_(jet) results insignificant impacts. Finally, we also observe the transition zone between annular and periphery zone has a certain enhancing effect on the wall to bed heat transfer coefficient.

The effects of different ambient temperatures and pressures on the combustion of hydrogen-enriched liquid ethanol spray were studied in a constant-volume vessel, using experimental and numerical methods. The inhomogeneous combustion experiment was conducted under ultra-lean conditions at an overall equivalence ratio of 0.3 (33% spray ethanol/67% premixed hydrogen). The spray and flame images and combustion pressures were obtained. The spray simulation models used were the RANS k-epsilon turbulence model, KH-RT model, and wall film interaction model. The experimental results showed that the inhomogeneous combustion of the liquid ethanol spray can be divided into two stages: a rapid-burning and a slow-burning stage. The slow-burning stage was sensitive to changes in ambient temperature and pressure. Combustion duration decreased with elevated pressure and declined temperature. Under low pressure and medium temperature conditions, the flame reached its fastest propagation speed. The simulation results showed that the fuel concentration and concentration gradient around the ignition position are the key factors that affect inhomogeneous lean combustion. When the equivalence ratio was over 0.8 around the ignition position and the gradient of the equivalence ratio increased no less than 0.1/mm, the optimal combustion characteristics were achieved.

Combustion of ammonia has recently been emerging as a promising approach for carbon mitigation. However, monitoring ignition of ammonia is a technique challenge due to its low reactivity. This work experimentally investigates the ignition and combustion behaviors of ammonia spray injected into a lean hydrogen air mixture, with emphasis on the ignition timing effect on the ignition and flame evolution behaviors as well as the pressure evolution and heat release. Results show that the ignition timing leads to profound alteration of the ammonia spray ignition and flame evolution due to the mixture status induced by different spray evolution time. Specifically, the flame is the most significantly affected by spray injection at ignition timings close to the start and end of injection and the heat loss is reduced, compared with the premixed fuel due to the lower heat release from evaporation and incomplete combustion. Additionally, for 10 ms pre-ignition timing, at the instant when the spray reaches the flame, the unburned gas assists in the evaporation and diffusion of the liquid ammonia, leading to a sudden increase in flame speed and a higher pressure of combustion. While, finally, for the 10 ms postignition timing case, the stratified fuel concentration distribution leads to accelerated heat release rate and a reduced overall combustion duration. The special spray characteristics of liquid ammonia and the high latent heat of evaporation are the main factors leading to the reduction of the combustion efficiency of liquid ammonia spray, which can be effectively solved by precombustion heating or homogeneous mixing. This study is believed to be beneficial for organizing better combustion for this zero-carbon fuel in SI engines.
