  1. 1. Evaluation of ignition and self-heating risks in bio-char storage by numerical simulation

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Energivetenskap

    Author : Nils Johnson; [2020]
    Keywords : Bio-char; Ignition; Heating; Numerical model;

    Abstract : The move from fossil fuels is getting more relevant throughout the globe, mainly for it getting more costly to emit CO$_2$. The steel industry is one of the biggest contributor of the CO$_2$ emissions, and is therefore very motivated to reduce their emissions. One way to reduce the emissions is to go from coal to bio-char as a reducing agent. READ MORE

  2. 2. Parametric Study to understand Ethanol Partially Premixed Combustion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Marcus Lundgren; [2012]
    Keywords : Ethanol premixed combustion; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As global concern increases regarding pollution does the demand to develop more ecient and environmental friendlier propulsion system come in high focus. The main systems for transportation have been dominated by the Otto and Diesel engine for a long time, but both are trade-o in local and global emissions, i.e. NOX, soot, HC and CO versus CO2.

  3. 3. Energy efficient storage of biomass at Vattenfall heat and power plant

    University essay from

    Author : Anders Eriksson; [2011]
    Keywords : wood chip; storage; drying; dry matter losses; fuel quality; self-ignition;

    Abstract : Storage of biomass is often associated with problems such as heat development, drymatter losses and reduction of fuel quality. The rise in temperature can potentiallycause a risk of self-ignition in the fuel storage. Moreover, emissions from storage pilescan cause health problems in the surrounding. READ MORE

  5. 5. Evaluation of the released thermal power in wood pellets

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik och design

    Author : Carin Zander; [2006]
    Keywords : Pellets; calorimeter; thermal power; copper; microbial activity; self ignition; biofuels;

    Abstract : This Degree Project has been done at Växjö University, department of bioenergy technology and discusses the released thermal power in wood pellets. The purpose of the project is to investigate if two new types of wood biofuels (pellets) are more or less reactive than the pellets previously investigated at Växjö University. READ MORE
