The solar chimney power plant (SCPP) is dominated by the solar radiation, and therefore its discontinuous operation is an unavoidable problem. In this paper, low temperature geothermal energy is introduced into the SCPP for overcoming this problem. Based on a developed mathematical model, theoretical analyses are carried out to investigate the performance of the geothermal-solar chimney power plant (GSCPP) with main dimensions the same as the Manzanares prototype in Spain. It is found that the GSCPP can attractively run in the full geothermal mode to deliver power continuously, which could solve the problem of the SCPP's running without sunlight in a long time, including at night. In addition, the introducing of geothermal energy into the SCPP can highly improve its power capacity.

A set of solar photovoltaic and thermal combined (PV/T) system is installed and tested in the present study. The PV/T system is designed and constructed by integrating coiled-channel flat-plate collectors with polycrystalline silicon PV modules. The linear Fresnel lens acts as the concentrator. Three systems, i.e. the non-cooling PV system, the non-concentrating PV/T system and the concentrating PV/T system, are tested and analyzed. Experimental results show that a high thermal and electrical combined efficiency, over 65%, is achieved by the PV/T system. Water in the flat plate can significantly decrease the PV module temperature and improve the electricity-conversion efficiency. Comparing with the non-concentrating PV/T system, the concentrating PV/T system can increase the total utilization of solar energy.

Oxy-fuel combustion is one of the near-zero emission clean coal technologies, which can realize large-scale CO2 capture. In this paper, catalyzed reactivities of synthetic model coal incorporating Fe 2O3, TiO2, and MnO2 under oxy-fuel conditions have been investigated using thermal analysis method. Experimental results show that all three catalysts present a certain extent catalytic action on the combustion behaviors of synthetic model coal under oxy-fuel conditions. The catalytic activity in main combustion process of model coal could be described as follows: Fe2O3 > TiO2 > MnO2. The increase of catalyst content causes the model coal combustion process to slightly shift to lower-temperature zone. The ignition temperature Ti shows almost no variation as Fe2O 3 or TiO2 is added into the samples. The catalysts present a not very obvious catalytic activity on the pyrolysis behaviors of synthetic model coal. In addition, TiO2 shows the greatest catalytic activity on the model coal gasification performance, while MnO2 plays an unfavorable role. The catalytic activity in gasification process of model coal could be described as follows: TiO2 > Fe2O3 > MnO2.

The effects of flame stretch and hydrogen dynamic stretch on laminar Bunsen flames, especially for the mixture with high H2 fraction, were studied in this paper. OH-PLIF was used to examine the flame reaction zone by visualizing the OH radical concentrated zone. Experiments were conducted at equivalence ratios ranging from 0.5 to 1.6 in the laminar flow range with Reynold's number from 800-2200. H2 fractions in the H2/CO mixture vary from 0.25 to 4.0. Results show that with the increase of H 2 fraction in fuel mixture, the effects of both hydrodynamic stretch and flame stretch are increased. Interpretation on the effect of stretch on flame is provided.

In this work, laminar flame speed of iso-octane/n-butanol-air mixtures was studied using the outwardly expanding spherical flame method and high-speed schlieren photography technique over a wide range of equivalence ratios and blending ratios at elevated initial temperatures. To interpret the dependence of the laminar flame speed on volume fraction of n-butanol in fuel blends (f vb), mechanistic interpretation was attempted through examining thermodynamic property, diffusive property and oxidation kinetics of the mixtures. Furthermore, the measured laminar flame speeds were fitted as a function of equivalence ratio, initial temperature and n-butanol fraction so as to provide some engineering merits.

Propanol isomers are oxygenated fuels that have the potential to reduce the emission of engines. Particulate matter (PM) emissions of gasoline/propanol isomers blends have been comparatively investigated at different blending ratios of propanol isomers (0%, 10%, 20%, 40% and 100%) and EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) rates (0% and 10%). Pure propanol isomers show significantly different emission characteristics compared to the other blends. PM number concentration decreases when EGR is introduced while little variation of PM mass concentration is observed. N-propanol mixtures produce higher PM number concentration than those of iso-propanol mixtures at the same blending ratio caused by their distinctively molecular structures and properties. The present study shows iso-propanol gives better performance as a gasoline additive compared to n-propanol.
