▼ Carbonaceous deposits in vehicle engines are high
molecular weight compounds, which adhere to different engine
components resulting in loss of fuel economy, engine performance
and increased emissions of pollutants. The exact mechanisms of
their formation are unknown, even though it has been suggested that
deposits are formed when fuels and
combustion gases interact with
the hot engine surface.The work presents an
analysis of the
molecular level interactions between
combustion gases (such as
oxygen, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapor, formaldehyde,
methane) and the engine surface (which was modeled as
cementite-Fe3C), using the ReaxFF simulation approach. A ReaxFF
force field was selected for modeling cementite (Fe3C), by
validating against energy-volume data from DFT and experimental
data. This was followed by analyzing the relative stability of
eight cementite surfaces with different Miller’s indices. It was
observed that the (111) and (010)-non-stoichiometric cementite
surfaces are stable, whereas (100) surface is the most reactive.
The ReaxFF force field was then used to study interactions between
combustion gases on the (010)-non-stoichiometric cementite surface.
Adsorption energies were calculated for six gas molecules (oxygen,
hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapor, formaldehyde, methane). Our
results indicate that most of the selected molecules interact
strongly with the cementite surface (chemisorption), except for
methane (physisorption). This work shows that it is suitable to use
the ReaxFF approach to study fouling in engines.

▼ A comprehensive second law
analysis of
combustion for a range of conditions and fuels
was completed. Constant pressure, constant volume and constant temperature
combustion
processes were examined. The parameters studied were reactant temperature, reactant
pressure, equivalence ratio and the fuels themselves. In addition, the contribution and relative
significance of the various components (thermo-mechanical, reactive and diffusion) to the
mixture availability was examined. Also, the effect of reactant mixture dissociation was
incorporated into the
combustion analysis.
It was found that for similar initial conditions, constant pressure
combustion and constant
volume
combustion exhibited similar trends. For constant temperature
combustion, the trend is
significantly different from the constant pressure and constant volume
combustion, with almost
the entire reactant availability being destroyed due to
combustion at lower temperatures.
Amongst the parameters examined, reactant mixture temperature had the most
significant effect on the fraction of availability destroyed during
combustion. The percentage
availability destroyed reduced from 25 to 30% at 300 K to about 5% at 6000 K for constant
pressure and constant volume
combustion processes.
The effect of the reactant mixture pressure on the fraction of availability destroyed was
more modest. The values for the percentage availability destroyed for pressures ranging from 50
kPa to 5000 kPa were found to lie within a range of 5%.
The effect of equivalence ratio on the fraction of reactant mixture availability destroyed
was also documented. In general, it was found that the destruction of availability decreased with
increasing equivalence ratios. This value, however, accounts for the availability due to fuel like
species in the product mixture. Therefore, for practical applications,
combustion of the
stoichiometric mixture would be preferred over the rich equivalence ratios.
It was found that the fraction of reactant availability destroyed increased with increasing
complexity of the fuel??s molecular structure.
In addition, it was shown that the diffusion availability terms is small and may be
neglected, while the reactive availability and thermo-mechanical availability are more significant.

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Mechanical Engineering 2012.
In order to improve engine-out emissions and performance of Diesel combustion systems, continued insight into the complex combustion and fuel spray processes must be gained. An optically accessible Diesel engine and modern diagnostic imaging methods can contribute to the understanding of the fuel spray, combustion, and soot formation phenomena that occur during the four-stroke engine cycle. This work will discuss non-intrusive methods of data acquisition used to gather in-cylinder information using an International VT275-based, optical DI Diesel engine with an electro-mechanical engine control system implemented for consistency of engine boundary conditions. Infrared, visible, and intensified OH imaging techniques are used to characterize fuel spray, combustion, and soot formation processes over a range of different operating conditions, including conventional and low-temperature combustion schemes. Probability maps of the in-cylinder occurrence of fuel, combustion, and soot volumes under low temperature combustion conditions are presented to analyze the effects that changes in engine load have on the process of combustion. The influence of the injector nozzle geometry on fuel spray characteristics and how these characteristics affect combustion is discussed. Comparisons between the combustion and soot production processes of oxygenated, bio-derived fuels and pump Diesel fuel are evaluated. General trends of in-cylinder soot formation are shown to compare well with engine-out filter smoke number emissions data across a range of loads, nozzle geometries, and fueling conditions.

▼ The selection and design of any biomass combustion system is primarily determined by the combustion characteristics of the fuel. It is the thermal energy released by the combustion reactions which drives the entire process. Thus, understanding of the combustion characteristics or oxidation behaviour of the biomass may lead to successful biomass combustion process at larger scale.
This study investigates the oxidation of rice husk, palm fibre and palm fibre char using an evolved gas analysis (EGA) technique. This EGA technique involves heating the biomass and char from 100°C to 500°C at a controlled rate with a constant flow of air. The evolved gas was continually analysed for its oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide contents. A series of EGA experiments was carried out using rice husk, palm fibre and palm fibre char. By studying how the evolved gas composition varies with temperature, the many oxidation reactions occurring may be grouped into just three simultaneous and competing reaction regimes known as low, medium and high temperature oxidation. The different reaction regimes may be decoupled and the key kinetic parameters such as activation energy for each regime were determined. These not only demonstrated the potential of the EGA technique as a tool to study the biomass oxidation but also provide insights into the effects of variations in pressure, oxygen partial pressure and heating rate for both of the biomass and biomass char.
The oxidation behaviour of both the rice husk and palm fibre was found to be substantially different to that observed for the palm fibre char. The principle difference observed was the number of peaks present in a plot of oxygen consumption versus temperature - two peaks were formed for the both of biomass but EGA experiments consistently shows only one peak for palm fibre char. It was found that the oxygen partial pressure of the oxidising gas in the combustion cell significantly influences the oxidation behaviour. Increasing the partial pressure of the oxygen typically moved the reactions to lower temperatures. The activation energies and peak oxygen consumption temperatures were all found to be linear functions of the oxygen partial pressure of the gas supplied to the reactor. Varying the total pressure of the reaction vessel while keeping the oxygen partial pressure constant did not lead to any significant variations in the reactions parameters.

▼ Electricity from biomass and biomass–derived fuels has become an attractive and viable alternative energy source. Alkali metals, mainly sodium and potassium, together with other ash forming inorganic components in biomass, increase fouling, slagging, and high temperature corrosion of heat transfer surfaces in boilers thus reduces efficiency during biomass combustion. Future biomass-to-electricity facilities will benefit from increased efficiencies, by incorporating integrated gasification combined cycle systems that use biomass syngas directly in gas turbine. These systems will have even lower tolerances for alkali vapor release, because accelerated erosion and corrosion of turbine blades results in shorter turbine life. One solution to the fouling and slagging problem is to develop methods of hot gas cleanup to reduce the amount of alkali vapor. A detailed understanding of the mechanism of alkali metals release during biomass gasification could greatly benefit the development of hot gas cleanup technology. In this study, thermodynamic equilibrium predictions were made of the distribution and mode of occurrence of gaseous chlorine and alkali metals of three types of biomass (corn stover, switch grass, and wheat straw) in combustion and gasification processes. The influence of temperature, pressure, and air-fuel ratio was also evaluated. Results show that the percent stoichiometric air has limited influence on the speciation of chlorine and potassium during combustion. However, the influence of the percent stoichiometric air is significant during gasification. Increasing percent stoichiometric air enhances the formation of vapor HCl and KOH as well as reduction in vapor KCl and K2Cl2. In biomass combustion and gasification, increasing pressure increases vapor HCl and K2Cl2 and reduces the amount of vapor KCl and KOH. At higher temperatures (>1100K), the gaseous alkali species increased greatly.

▼ The design of reliable combustors is a crucial aspect of propulsion and energy production applications: a faulty engine could cost human lives and millions (if not billions) of dollars. In practice, it is unreasonable to expect all devices to be extensively tested for all operating conditions that they will experience. The set of possible conditions is large, and the state of the device itself can evolve during its lifetime. Yet, deviations from normal behavior, or extreme events, should be appropriately accounted for during the design and the operation of the combustor.
In this work, a theoretical approach for the prediction of extreme events is presented. A classification of failures is proposed, and predictive questions that pertain to the failures are identified. This framework guides the work done in this thesis and is tailored to pave the way of future developments that are not addressed here. Two different routes for the prediction of extreme events are explored: one which attempts to characterize the dynamics of a system, and one which attempts to quantify the statistics of a failure.
The target of the first route (dynamical system approach) is to provide an understanding of the process through which a failure occurs so that the design can be adjusted to inhibit a failure. To this end, the Lyapunov
analysis is examined in the context of turbulent reacting and inert flows from different angles. The convergence of the Lyapunov exponents with respect to the numerical discretization is examined. Lyapunov exponents are used to quantify the complexity of the attractor and the Lyapunov vectors are used to characterize the response of the flow to perturbations.
The objective of the second route (statistical approach) is to quantify the statistics of the failure. In particular, the main focus is on obtaining the probability of a rare extreme event. This is achieved by estimating the trajectory leading to a rare event. The uniqueness of this work lies in the comprehensive approach to extreme event prediction that is developed. While the work is mostly illustrated with target problems relevant for turbulent
combustion, it has applications in other complex and high-dimensional problems.

▼ Dispatchable low carbon electricity has been identified as a key requirement for low carbon electricity systems because these systems must provide reliable electricity services to an increasing portion of the world’s population while utilising an increasing share of nondispatchable assets such as renewable and nuclear generators. Fossil fuel generators can provide dispatchable low carbon electricity by leveraging post-combustion carbon capture technologies assuming post-combustion capture (PCC) plants can operate in a flexible and efficient manner. This thesis explores the connection between solvent analysis techniques and the optimal operation of PCC plants with a particular focus on process optimisation and control under flexible and transient conditions. The connection between solvent analysis measurements and PCC plant process control and optimisation strategies is established. An ideal set of analysis technique criteria is established for flexible post-combustion capture plants. Currently available solvent analysis techniques are surveyed and evaluated against the ideal set of criteria. Specific weaknesses of current techniques are highlighted and two novel solvent analysis techniques are introduced to address these weaknesses. The first provides continuous amine concentration and CO2 loading measurements at process flow conditions by inferring solvent chemical composition from physical properties. This method was evaluated by deploying an instrument prototype to a post-combustion pilot plant to continuously analyse solvent during a test campaign which simulated flexible plant operation. The measurement results were compared against industry standard solvent analysis techniques and the inferential technique was found to produce sufficient measurement accuracy and sensitivity while providing a faster, lower cost and more robust measurement technique. The second technique combines the strengths of several currently available CO2 loading techniques to measure CO2 gas evolved from an acidified solvent under vacuum conditions. The technique was found to provide superior measurement accuracy and sensitivity compared to currently available methods when measuring lab standard solutions. The integration of these novel analysis techniques into advanced process control systems is proposed and future method improvements are suggested.

▼ In this work CFD was used to simulate the flow through a novel valve design for internal combustion engines. CFD is numerical method for simulating the behaviour of systems involving flow processes. A FEM was used for solving the equations.
Literature on the topic was studied to gain an understanding of the performance limiters on the Internal combustion engine. This understanding was used to set up models that better would mimic physical phenomena compared to previous studies. The models gave plausible results as to fluid velocities and in-cylinder flow patterns.
Comsol Multiphysics 4.1 was used for the computations.

▼ This dissertation concerns the
analysis and modeling of turbulence dynamics in turbulent
combustion. In certain regimes of turbulent
combustion, dilatation (volumetric expansion) induced by chemical heat release can result in significant modification of turbulence dynamics, leading to the failure of most common turbulence models used in predictive simulations. In this dissertation, the physical mechanisms of interaction between chemical heat release and turbulence are analyzed, scaling theories for the regime dependence of these effects are confirmed, and new turbulence models are introduced to account for these interactions.
Numerical simulation forms the foundation of the analyses in this dissertation. Using a common planar jet configuration, a range of turbulent
combustion regimes is accessed via Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). In order to conduct these simulations accurately and efficiently on large-scale parallel computers, advanced numerical algorithms are introduced. These schemes improve the accuracy of state-of-the-art schemes and reduce the computational cost by approximately a factor of two.
In nonpremixed
combustion, heat release effects on turbulence are observed at low turbulent Reynolds number (the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces), but the impact on turbulence model validity is minimal due to the greatly reduced turbulence intensity. In premixed
combustion, scaling theories for the dependence of dilatation effects on Karlovitz number (the ratio of the flame time scale to the Kolmogorov time scale) are confirmed for the first time in turbulent shear flows.
Algebraic combinations of limit-state turbulence models are proposed to account for counter-gradient transport in low Karlovitz number premixed
combustion. A variable "efficiency function" controls the regime dependence of counter-gradient effects, and these models are verified a priori using the DNS databases. The algebraic approach successfully captures counter-gradient transport in the flame-normal direction, but the linear nature of these models precludes them from capturing other effects of heat release including effects of instantaneous flame motion.
Finally, a new statistical description of turbulence is introduced by conditioning on an independent flame coordinate. Turbulence statistics obtained in this framework explicitly account for effects of flame motion and chemical heat release. Budgets of conditional mean velocity and turbulent kinetic energy are computed, and modeling implications are discussed.

▼ Edge flames are fundamental flame structures essential to the description of flame hole dynamics in turbulent
combustion and the stabilization of lifted jet flames. In this thesis we concentrate on the role of boundary conditions and how they, in turn, can induce an undesirable streamwise pressure gradient in the trailing diffusion flame that affects the edge flame speed. A novel numerical scheme is designed to solve the nonlinear eigenvalue problem based on the variable-density zero Mach number reactive Navier-Stokes equations. It employs a homotopy method to gradually map the solutions from the constant-density edge flame to the more challenging variable-density edge flame. The flow and the
combustion fields are segregated within an outer Picard iteration embedded in a Newton method, which is solved sequentially using GMRES with proper multigrid preconditioners. This efficient algorithm enables the parametric study of the effects of differential diffusion and strain rate on edge flame structure and propagation velocity for variable-density flows. Previous studies observe that the ratio of the edge flame speed to the premixed stoichiometric laminar flame velocity scales approximately as the square root of the ratio of the cold stream density to the stoichiometric density. In our simulations, where no pressure gradient is present, it is found that the speedup of the normalized edge flame velocity might be superlinear on the density ratio. This result is new and complements previous results, for different boundary conditions, which suggests that the edge flame speed is a strong function of the particular hydrodynamic boundary conditions employed in the simulations.

▼ The characteristics of ignition and extinction in thermites and intermetallics are a
subject of interest in developing the latest generation of energetic materials. An experimental “striker confinement” shock compression experiment was developed in the Prof. Glumac’s research group at the University of Illinois to study ignition and reaction in composite reactive materials. These include thermitic and intermetallic reactive powders. We discuss our model for the ignition of copper oxide-aluminum thermite in the context of the striker experiment and how a Gibbs formulation model, that includes multi-components for liquid and solid phases of aluminum, copper oxide, copper and aluminum oxide, can predict the events observed at the particle scale in the experiments. Furthermore, the characteristics of a steady diffusion flame that arises at the interfaces of two condensed phase reactant (titanium-boron) and gas reactant (methane-air) streams that form an opposed counterflow are discussed. In the the gas flow scenario, the asymptotic
analysis is carried on both constant and variable density formulations and compared the solutions to those obtained numerically. In the case of condensed phase reactants, several types of analyses are carried out at increasing levels of complexities: an asymptotic
analysis valid in the limit of low strain rates (high residence time in the reaction zone), a constant mixture density assumption that simplifies the flow description, diffusion models with equal and unequal molecular weights for the various species, and a full numerical study for finite rate chemistry, composition-dependent density and strain rates extending from low to moderate values.

▼ In the medium to heavy duty truck market there is an increased interest to
convert diesel engines currently in use to operate on compressed natural gas (CNG).
For CNG to be a viable fuel for this application, it must also provide similar or
improved performance characteristics compared to diesel. One such parameter is
the noise and vibration output of the engine. This study investigated the relationship
between the
combustion pressure of a CNG engine and vibration at the engine mount
locations. Multiple
analysis methods for quantifying the vibration and
combustion
pressure were investigated to determine which provided the best data correlation.
Although similar correlation trends were found with all of the
analysis methods, the
overall displacement provided a linear relationship with the average maximum
pressure of
combustion for conditions where the vibration resulting from
combustion exceeded the inherent mechanical vibration. Recommendations for
improvements to the test methodology are also provided.

▼ In this thesis, we investigate the properties and linear stability of homogeneous premixed planar propagating
combustion waves in one spatial dimension. In particular, we investigate travelling premixed
combustion waves in a diffusional-thermal model with a two-step competitive exothermic reaction mechanism in which both reactions are exothermic and the same reactive material provides the feed for both exothermic reactive steps. Such reactions have direct relevance to the
combustion of MeCH₂, where Me is either titanium or zirconium.
Combustion waves in two-step competitive exothermic-reaction schemes are investigated for various fuel types, includinggaseous, porous and solid fuels, under both adiabatic and nonadiabatic conditions. In addition, the Evans Function Method is employed to analyze the linear stability of the
combustion waves. The purpose of the study is to investigate how the properties of the
combustion waves vary as various parameter values change. Of particular interest are those parameters describing the ratios of the activation energies, pre-exponential factors and enthalpies of the two reactions, the Lewis number of the reactants, the heat-loss parameter and ambient temperature. As well as the transitions from stable to unstable planar wave solutions, various bifurcations are analyzed.The properties and linear stability of the travelling-wave solutions from two-step competitive exothermic reactions are more complicated that those from single-step exothermic reaction; in particular, regions of bi-stability exist: different solutions coexist for the same parameter values. When bi-stability does not exist, the behaviour of the
combustion waves is similar to that from the single-step reaction. When bistability does exist, two stable branches, a fast branch with fast flame speeds and a slow branch with slow flame speeds, can co-exist. The transitions between the fast and slow branches are observed by altering the fuel temperature profiles. The steady travelling waves become unstable due to the existence of Hopf bifurcations and there are three possible scenarios. The conditions of the existence of bi-stability are discussed.

Maximizing the efficiency of the combustion process requires the ability to sense oxygen levels over a broad range of concentrations with fast response times under rapidly varying conditions of pressure and temperature to maintain the correct fuel/oxygen ratio in real-time. Quenching of the luminescence from organometallic compounds by oxygen has been used to develop a number of fiber-based sensors. A major drawback of these organometallic indicators for combustion applications is that the chromophores degrade with time, have a limited operational temperature range, typically room temperature ±25°C, and lack long-term reliability. This work investigates luminescent molybdenum clusters based on Mo6Cl12 were as replacements for organometallic indicators. A study of the high temperature stability of Mo6Cl12 in air revealed irreversible changes in the optical absorption spectrum at T >250°C and a loss of the red luminescence characteristic of the pristine clusters. Thermal aging experiments run in air and under nitrogen point to oxidation of the clusters as the cause of the change in optical properties. X-ray powder diffraction measurements on samples annealed at 300°C under controlled conditions are consistent with oxidation of Mo6Cl12 to form MoO3. Optical and thermal aging experiments show that K2Mo6Cl14*1H2O, the alkali metal salt of Mo6Cl12, has higher thermal stability and remains luminescent after long-term aging in air at 280°C. Methods were developed for depositing K2Mo6Cl14*1H2O-incorporated sol-gel films on planar and optical fiber substrates by dip coating and spray coating. The mechanical properties of the films depended on the film thickness; thin films were stable, but cracks often formed in the thicker films needed for sensors. This problem was addressed using two strategies: altering the components of the sol-gel solutions used to embed the clusters and by devising a composite approach to sensing layers where a slurry of fully cured sol-gel particles containing K2Mo6Cl14*1H2O in a sol-gel "binder" were deposited on substrates. The optical properties of a large number of fiber sensors were tested up to 102°C, with the best results obtained using the K2Mo6Cl14*1H2O/sol-gel composite sensing film. Fiber M demonstrated quenching of 4-6× between <0.001% and 21.1% (v/v) oxygen at 23, 42, 60, 81 and 102°C respectively. The sensor switches abruptly between two well defined levels with a response time of less than 10 s. Quenching of the cluster luminescence by oxygen obeys a two-site Stern-Volmer relationship based on measurements of fiber 121 at 42, 73, and 102°C, with sensitivity decreasing as temperature increases. The cycle-cycle variations for six cycles between nitrogen and oxygen at 58°C for fiber 45 corresponds to an uncertainty of ±1% to ±15% in oxygen concentration over the entire measurement range from 21.1% (v/v) to 2.1% (v/v) oxygen respectively. The long-term performance data from cycling fiber 70 between <0.001% (v/v) and 21.1% (v/v)…

▼ Cette thèse a pour but l’étude de la rotation de l’écoulement des grandes échelles dans deux configurations. La première configuration se concentre sur l’effet de la rotation de l’écoulement sur une flamme laminaire. Elle est stabilisée dans le sillage d’un cylindre. La rotation de l’écoulement est introduite en faisant tourner le cylindre autour de son axe. La simulation numérique directe (Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS)) montre que la rotation du cylindre rompt la symétrie des deux branches de la flamme. La fonction de transfert de flamme (Flame Transfer Function (FTF)), obtenue grâce à l’inversion de Wiener-Hopf, indique qu’un faible taux de rotation réduit le gain de la FTF et donc la flamme devient presque insensible aux perturbations acoustiques à une fréquence donnée. De plus, il est démontré que cette diminution du gain est due à une interférence destructive des fluctuations de chaleur produites par les deux branches de la flamme. La fréquence à laquelle le gain de la FTF devient presque nul est ajustable par la vitesse de rotation du cylindre. Cette étude suggère que le contrôle de la symétrie de la flamme pourrait être un outil de contrôle en boucle ouverte des instabilités thermoacoustiques. Dans le cas de la deuxième configuration, la rotation de l’écoulement est induite par une instabilité hydrodynamique, aussi nommée Precessing Vortex Core (PVC) dans un système d’injection de carburant industriel. Des expériences et des simulations aux grandes échelles (Large Eddy Simulation (LES)) montrent que l’écoulement non-réactif dans l’injecteur pri- maire peut être décomposé en une contribution moyenne et un PVC. Cette instabilité hydro- dynamique est étudiée par l’analyse de stabilité linéaire (Linear Stability Analysis (LSA)) en utilisant deux approches différentes (locale et BiGlobale). Les résultats de l’expérience, de la LES et de la LSA démontrent que le montage d’une tige centrale à l’intérieur de l’injecteur stabilise le PVC. De plus, le même injecteur industriel est étudié dans le cas d’un écoule- ment réactif par LES. Les résultats démontrent que la flamme stabilise le PVC. L’analyse de stabilité BiGlobal montre que le gradient de densité dans le front moyen de la flamme a un effet important sur l’amortissement du PVC. Enfin, l’impact de la tige centrale est également étudié pour le cas réactif. La tige centrale impacte marginalement la forme globale de la flamme, mais a un effet positif sur l’accrochage de la flamme dans la zone de combustion pauvre. En comparant deux cas par LSA, celui avec la tige et celui sans la tige, les résultats suggèrent que la tige augmente considérablement l’amortissement du PVC. Cela pourrait causer une diminution de la turbulence dans l’écoulement et empêcher l’extinction de la flamme et donc expliquer l’influence bénéfique de la tige sur la stabilisation de la flamme.

▼ Combustion synthesis (CS) or self-propagating
high temperature synthesis (SHS) is an energy saving, effective
technique for production of a variety of advanced micron and
nano-scale materials with properties that are superior to those
manufactured by conventional methods. Recent developments and
important breakthroughs within the CS field have shown its high
level of diversity. In this work special attention has been paid to
the gasless heterogeneous
combustion joining (CJ) (rapid reactive
welding) and topics related to it such as mechanical activation
(MA) of reactive systems, kinetics study of high temperature
reactions and CS of anti-oxidation (AO) coatings.
Joining dissimilar materials is of increasing interest for
a wide range of military and industrial applications. For example,
in combat fields, joining materials has received great attention in
recent years due to weight reduction of both vehicle components and
structures. In particular, layered ceramic/metal-alloy (i.e.,
SiC/5083 Al-alloy) composites show considerable potential for
lightweight armor applications. However, ceramics and metal-alloys
exhibit very different physical, mechanical and metallurgical
properties, which make joining process problematic.
To solve this problem a rapid gasless reactive CJ
technique is developed. A novel scaled-up CJ apparatus was designed
and built. A reactive powder mixture (Ti+C) was used as a joining
layer to bond SiC to 5083 Al-alloy. It showed that bonding of SiC
to 5083 Al-alloy was achieved with formation of a transitional
interface that was compatible with those components to be joined.
Several joining schemes were utilized and both micron-sized (up to
10 μm) and submicron-sized (500 nm) joints were accomplished by
CJ. A number of gasless heterogeneous powder
mixtures were utilized as a joining medium. It is critical to
control reactivity and structure of such mixtures. In this work the
influence of mechanical activation on the microstructures and
ignition characteristics of such systems were investigated. The
experimental approach is based on a high energy ball milling (HEBM)
technique. Results show that short-term HEBM is an effective tool
to tailor the microstructure and ignition characteristics of
reactive powder mixtures and the MA-systems can be further utilized
for CJ of various materials. Another technique, known as
electro-thermal
analysis (ETA), which allows one to evaluate the
kinetics of high temperature rapid reactions before and after MA
processes (Ni-Al system), was also employed. It is shown that a
short-term MA treatment decreased the apparent activation energy
for reaction between Ni and Al from 38 ± 1 (kcal/mol) to 25 ± 3
(kcal/mol). A decrease of
ignition temperature of reactive mixtures was observed after HEBM.
This feature allows initiation of joining process at a much lower
temperature.
Combustion joining of refractory materials
(carbon/carbon, C/C, composites) was accomplished using
mechanically activated systems. An important industrial application
is…

▼ This thesis details the design and construction of a Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) micro combustion system. The design of the combustor requires a detailed analysis of the flame’s operational properties and stability. To this end, an analytic model was created to address these concerns. These results were used in conjunction with a detailed numerical analysis to determine the stable operating range of the combustors. The combustion of gaseous fuels requires a device with a lower bound on the channel feature size. This lower limit for combustion corresponds to the minimum quenching distance of the specific fuel being used and usually corresponds to the upper end of silicon MEMs processing techniques and the lower end of meso-scale production processes. This millimeter size range represents the normal feature size range for the LTCC tape system. A potential material imposed restriction to using LTCC is the relatively low temperature operating range when compared to the adiabatic flame temperatures encountered in the combustion of gaseous fuels.
To address this concern an analytic model of the heat transfer from a simple straight channel device is presented. This model allows for the analysis of the thermal loads in the substrate as well as provides insight into the effects of the channel geometry on the stability of the flame. Several experimental devices were designed and tested in accordance with the predictions of the analytic model. These devices have similar geometric configurations with different characteristic lengths to explore the feasible operating regimes of the LTCC micro combustor. This allows for the validation of the flame stability margins and heat transfer properties predicted by the analytic model.
Infrared imaging allows for the mapping of the device surface temperature and provides a correlation mechanism to the analytic model. The results of the experimental testing show the same trending characteristics predicted by the analytic analysis. However, a detailed numerical analysis is needed to fully capture the quantitive power production capabilities of the device.

▼ The internal
combustion engine is synonyms with the automobile since its invention in late 19th century. The internal
combustion engine today is far more advanced and efficient compared to its early predecessors. An intense competition exists today amongst the automotive OEMs in various countries and regions for stepping up sales and increasing market share. The pressure on automotive OEMs to reduce fuel consumption and emission is enormous which has lead to innovations of many variations in engine and engine-related technologies. However, IC engines are in existence for well more than a century and hence have already evolved to a highly refined state. Changes in IC engine are therefore largely incremental in nature. A deterrent towards development of an engine configuration that is significantly different from its predecessor is the phenomenal cost involved in prototyping. Thus, the only viable alternative in exploring new engine concepts and even optimizing designs currently in operation is through extensive use of CAE.
In light of published work in the field of
analysis of IC engines, current research effort is directed towards development of a rational methodology for arriving at a weight-optimized engine design, which simultaneously meets performance of various attributes such as thermal, durability, vehicle dynamics and NVH. This is in contrast to the current methodology adopted in industry, according to which separate teams work on aspects of engine design such as
combustion, NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness), acoustics, dynamics, heat transfer and durability. Because of the involvement of heterogeneous product development groups, optimization of an engine for weight, which can have a significant impact on its power-to-weight ratio, becomes a slow process beset with manual interventions and compromise solutions. Thus, following the traditional approach, it is quite difficult to claim that an unambiguous weight-optimized design has been achieved. As a departure from the practiced approach, the present research effort is directed at the deployment of a single multi-physics explicit
analysis solver, viz. LS-DYNA - generally known for its contact-impact
analysis capabilities, for simultaneously evaluating a given engine design for heat transfer, mechanical and thermal loading, and vibration. It may be mentioned that only
combustion analysis is carried out in an uncoupled manner, using proven phenomenological thermodynamic relations, to initially arrive at mechanical and thermal loading/boundary conditions for the coupled thermo-mechanical
analysis. The proposed methodology can thus be termed as a semi-integrated technique and its efficacy is established with the case study of designing a single cylinder air-cooled diesel engine from scratch and its optimization.

▼ This thesis introduced Bayesian statistics as an analysis technique to isolate resonant frequency information in in-cylinder pressure signals taken from internal combustion engines. Applications of these techniques are relevant to engine design (performance and noise), energy conservation (fuel consumption) and alternative fuel evaluation. The use of Bayesian statistics, over traditional techniques, allowed for a more in-depth investigation into previously difficult to isolate engine parameters on a cycle-by-cycle basis. Specifically, these techniques facilitated the determination of the start of pre-mixed and diffusion combustion and for the in-cylinder temperature profile to be resolved on individual consecutive engine cycles. Dr Bodisco further showed the utility of the Bayesian analysis techniques by applying them to in-cylinder pressure signals taken from a compression ignition engine run with fumigated ethanol.

▼ The massive global use of combustion and the large exergy destruction in fuel combustion which is typically 20% to 30% of the useful energy highlight the importance of seeking for more exergy-efficient combustion. This dissertation pursued quantitative understanding of the reasons for the irreversibilities, i.e., their cause, location and magnitude, and recommended approaches for reducing them. This was studied by two different approaches: 1) the conventional and most frequently numerical way, the intrinsic analytical method (IAM) based on the solution of the system differential equations, which requires complex computation, and 2) the novel heuristic finite increment method (HFIM) that solves a system of algebraic equations, which is an orders-of-magnitude computationally easier approximation. The results demonstrated that the overall exergy destruction ratio computed by the IAM (22.58%) and the HFIM (19.6% to 22.3% for the 14 paths) agreed well for the studied adiabatic isobaric hydrogen/air combustion. The fractions of the individual contributors (chemical reaction, heat transfer, mass transfer and viscous dissipation) to the overall exergy destruction in the two approaches, however, were quite different. The IAM predicted that the chemical reaction was the dominant contributor (at 80.56%), while the HFIM predicted that the heat transfer was the dominant one (at 47.4 % to 72.1%). The difference was explained, for the first time, and it was because the HFIM assumed the combustion occurring in a prescribed path that made the chemical reaction rate at low temperature higher than reality. This established the connection of the two different approaches. Ways to reduce irreversibilities, by the sensitivity analysis in the IAM, comprised of reducing the excess air coefficient, increasing the inlet temperature, making the combustor walls as close as possible to adiabatic and optimizing the inlet velocity. Methods to decrease irreversibilities, by analyzing 14 hypothetical paths in the HFIM, were applying stoichiometric oxygen combustion and heat recirculation from high-temperature to low-temperature chambers. This dissertation also compared the exergy destruction results for similar combustion conditions computed by the HFIM and the IAM for the first time. The comparison enabled the identification of the hypothetical paths in the HFIM which were the closest to reality.

▼ Turbulent combustion modeling is a complex computational problem. Several factors including the large number of unknowns and equations, stiffness in the chemical source terms, and turbulence-chemistry interaction combine to make simulation of turbulent combustion a grand-challenge problem. Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is the most accurate approach to simulate turbulent combustion processes. This approach solves for the full set of chemical variables in the system and is fully resolved in space and time; therefore, it is computationally expensive. There are several models trying to increase the efficiency of turbulent combustion modeling with reducing the number of unknowns, reducing the stiffness of the problem, or decreasing the resolution with the least error possible. In this research, two novel models are introduced to increase the efficiency of turbulent combustion modeling in the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) context. Each method tries to make the modeling more efficient in a different aspect. The first one is a method to reduce the number of species equations that must be solved, via application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This technique provides a robust methodology to reduce the number of species equations by identifying correlations in state-space and defining new variables that are linear combinations of the original variables. Here we first present results from \emph{a priori} studies to show the strengths and weaknesses of such a modeling approach. Results suggest that the PCA-based model can identify manifolds that exist in state space which are insensitive to filtering, suggesting that the model is directly applicable for use in Large Eddy Simulation. Second, we explore the invariance of the manifolds identified by PCA with respect to the problem's parameters. In order to simulate a turbulent process using a PCA-based model, the PCA mapping should be trained using an empirical dataset. This \emph{a priori} study clarifies the important factors for choosing a training dataset. Results indicate that, for given reactant compositions and temperatures, over modest ranges of Reynolds number where the combustion regime does not change dramatically, PCA-derived manifolds are invariant with respect to Reynolds number. It also further confirms PCA manifolds invariance to the filter width, which is an interesting result that suggests the applicability of the model in LES. Finally, an \emph{a posteriori} study of PCA is presented as a combustion model applied to a nonpremixed CO/H2 temporally evolving jet flame with extinction and reignition. As a basis for comparison, results from detailed chemistry calculations are compared with the PCA-transport results to verify the model and evaluate its performance. Invariance of the model's error to the Reynolds number, the number of retained PCs, the PCA scaling factor, and the training dataset is evaluated in this research. The second proposed method is a new explicit variable-density pressure projection method with a focus on transient low-Mach-number…

▼ Abstract: In this work, the physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics of sugarcane bagasse and straw ashes were assessed, as a function of the
combustion temperature, leaching, particle size and fraction of straw within bagasse-straw blends. This information contributes to a better understanding of the transformations that ashes suffer during
combustion and their possible impacts on the formation of deposits. The proportional method used to prepare bagasse (B) and straw (P) samples reduced the influence of particle segregation on the results standard deviation. The
analysis of the chemical composition of straw ash samples showed that the concentration of K, S and Cl decreases as a function of increasing ashing temperatures. Leaching of bagasse and straw samples resulted in ash content reductions of up to 39%, especially of elements that promote the formation of deposits such as K, Cl, S and P...

▼ Combustion synthesis leverages the exothermic reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer to provide the energy needed to form crystalline refractory oxides. In many cases
combustion syntheses are less energy intensive and require fewer processing steps than traditional ceramic oxide processes. However, the properties of materials produced by
combustion syntheses can depend on many processing parameters, such as the type of fuel used, the fuel to oxidizer ratio, coordinating characteristics of the fuel, the rate of heating the reactant solution. This work reports the results of process optimization and materials characterization studies of three ceramic oxides: yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG), lanthanum zirconate (LZO) and yttrium borate (YBO). Cerium and/or europium dopants were incorporated into these three host lattices to enhance their photoluminescent (PL) properties. The effects of process parameters on the crystallinity, composition, and PL emission intensity of the synthesized materials were investigated. We show that mixing urea and citric acid fuels decreases the PL intensity of YAG:Ce1% compared to using either pure urea or pure citric acid. Characterization of the material found that the material synthesized using only citric acid contained the most YAG phase and that the decrease in PL intensity is likely due to dopant segregation. We show that the heating rate used to raise the reactant solution to the ignition temperature also affected the crystallinity of the synthesized material. Thermogravimetric
analysis and differential scanning calorimetry identified a heating rate that produced the maximum heat of
combustion. Transmission electron micrographs of the synthesized material show that heating rates affect the morphology of the material. The YBO process optimization involved adding additional fuel and oxidizer to compensate for the lack of a boron-based oxidizer and included a post-synthesis anneal. The effect of proton irradiation on the PL of these materials was tested. The PL of YAG and LZO was not affected by a fluence of 1x10
16 protons/cm
2, however the PL intensity of YBO decreased with doses of 1x10
14 protons/cm
2 and above.

▼ A zero dimensional thermodynamic model with no spatial resolution has been developed to analyze the effectiveness of energy and exergy utilization in a large bore, single cylinder, two-stroke engine. Exergy
analysis was performed to supplement energy
analysis to gain deeper insights into the exploitation of the essence of energy during engine operation. The closed and the open portions of the cycle were modeled in this study using theory of gas dynamics and thermodynamics. Suitable forms of the first and second laws of thermodynamics were applied to a two zone (burned and unburned) control mass during the closed portion of the cycle and control volume during the open portion of the cycle, respectively. A Wiebe function describes the fuel burning rate and was used to simulate
combustion. All simulated results were validated using experimental data. Exergy transfers in and out of the system accompanying chemical reactions, work, heat transfer and flows were traced and the major sources of exergy destruction (irreversibilities) identified. Major findings from the
analysis were that 14% of the fuel’s exergy was destroyed because of
combustion and almost half (46%) of the initial exergy is lost with exhaust gases. Compared to four stroke engines the percentage exergy destruction is relatively less because of lower cylinder temperatures. These findings highlight shortcomings in the thermodynamic design of the engine and help direct future research efforts.

Hierarchical Symbolic Perception in Dynamic Data Driven Application Systems.

(more)
▼ A dynamic data-driven application system (DDDAS) is a recently formalized architecture that integrates simulation with dynamically assimilated data, multiscale modeling and computation via completion of a two-way feedback loop between model execution and the data acquisition modules. The perception layer of DDDAS requires precise feature extraction from dynamic data, multi-scale (both spatial and temporal) data
analysis and hierarchical sensor fusion, which are capable of real-time execution. This dissertation proposes hierarchical approaches that tackle different aspects of the perception layer of DDDAS, based on the concept of symbolic time series
analysis (STSA).
STSA is a nonlinear feature-extraction tool that is applied on dynamic data by constructing probabilistic finite state automata (PFSA) via symbolization based on an alphabet size. Along with proposing a supervised alphabet size selection
algorithm, the dissertation develops optimal STSA algorithms that capture the texture of individual temporal data (by Generalized D-Markov machines) and
that of the causal cross-dependence (by ×D-Markov machines) from one temporal data set to another with reduced dimensionality. The aforementioned patterns
are aggregated to construct a spatio-temporal pattern network (STPN) from a sensor network and it is pruned via an information-theoretic approach for fault diagnosis in distributed systems. Finally, a hierarchical architecture named multiscale symbolic time series
analysis (MSTSA) is formalized, where a semantic finite length learning-and-inferencing mechanism is stacked to capture the multi-timescale
nature of DDDAS events in real time.
In addition to extensive validation by complex simulation experiments, the proposed techniques have been applied on experimental data for early detection of Lean Blow out (LBO), and thermo-acoustic instability in combustors and the performance is compared with state-of-the-art results. A hierarchical framework is developed combining deep learning and STSA with the objective of autonomously tracking the temporal evolution of coherent structures that are distributed in the flame during
combustion instability. MSTSA has been successfully implemented in real-time activity recognition from noisy sensor data for border surveillance scenarios. It is envisioned that the general contributions, made in this dissertation, will be useful for many other potential application areas in DDDAS paradigm, such as weather system causality understanding, smart grid and buildings, distributed energy systems, situation awareness in ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) missions, material damage prediction and future ground and air transportation systems.

▼ Aerosolized nanoparticles represent both great potential for the development of emerging technologies and one of the biggest challenges currently facing our planet. In the former case, aerosol-based synthesis techniques represent one of the most cost-effective approaches to generating engineered nanoparticles having applications that range from medicine to energy. In the latter case, aerosolized soot is the second largest forcing factor after carbon dioxide in climate change models and contributes significantly to asthma, bronchitis, and various other respiratory illnesses. The increased predominance of engineered nanoparticles also presents significant environmental and health risks due to various toxicological effects. In any of these cases, robust characterization is critical to the function and regulation of these nanoaerosols.
Time-resolved laser-induced incandescence (TiRe-LII) is well-suited to meeting this challenge. Since its inception in the 1980s, TiRe-LII has matured into a standard diagnostic for characterizing soot in combustion applications and, increasingly, engineered nanoparticles synthesized as an aerosol. The in situ nature of the technique makes it well-suited to probe in-flame soot formation and the fundamentals of nanoparticle formation. Moreover, its cost-effectiveness and real-time capabilities make TiRe-LII particularly well-suited as an avenue for online control of nanoparticle synthesis.
TiRe-LII involves heating nanoparticles within a sample volume of aerosol to incandescent temperatures using a short laser-pulse. Following the laser pulse, the nanoparticles return to the ambient gas temperature via conductive and evaporative cooling. The magnitude of the peak spectral incandescence signal can be used to derive the particle volume fraction, while the temperature decay of the nanoparticles can be used to infer thermophysical properties, including the nanoparticle size, thermal accommodation coefficient (TAC), and latent heat of vaporization. Data analysis requires the use of spectroscopic models, used to convert the observed incandescence to a volume fraction or nanoparticle temperature, and heat transfer models, used to model the changes in the nanoparticle temperature over the duration of a signal. These models have evolved considerably over the past two decades, increasing the interpretive power of TiRe-LII.
Nevertheless, there are several factors that impede further improvements to the reliability of TiRe-LII derived quantities. Several anomalies have been observed in measured signals collected from both engineered nanoparticle and soot, ranging from faster-than-expected temperature decays to inconsistencies in measurements between laboratories and experimental conditions. Resolving these differences is crucial to improving the robustness of TiRe-LII both as a combustion and engineered nanoparticle diagnostic. However, this first requires the development of advanced analysis tools that allow for a better understanding of nanoscale physics and the uncertainties associated with model…

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The increasing emissions of such greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide (CO₂) foster the need for the removal of CO₂ from gas streams, especially from coal-fired power stations. One of the common technologies of CO₂ Post Combustion Capture (PCC) is reversible chemical absorption using amine-based solvents. For PCC to be efficient, the rate of the absorption of CO₂ in aqueous solution has to be fast in order to minimise the spatial requirements of the absorber column. Therefore, the catalysis of CO₂ hydration/dehydration is of utmost interest. In this project, series of inorganic oxoanions and carbonic anhydrases were studied by stopped-flow spectrophotometry with the aim of elucidating their chemistry in the interaction with CO₂ and finding a good catalyst for PCC. Additionally, it is crucial to closely monitor the PCC process by developing on-line analyses. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a promising spectroscopic tool for this purpose thanks to its robustness and ease of data interpretation. The second focus of this project is to investigate the feasibility of using FT-IR spectroscopy for on-line analysis for PCC application by monitoring the kinetics of the reaction of bicarbonate with MEA by this spectroscopy. The outcomes of this project would benefit the development of effective CO₂ capture facilities, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The limitations in terms of time consumption and complexity of the traditional method to study an enzymatic system inspired the development of a novel kinetic procedure to analyse the efficiency of enzymatic catalysis, i.e. the Michaelis-Menten parameters. The principle of this method is that the kinetics of an enzymatically catalysed reaction is observed from the initial high substrate concentration until the substrate is entirely consumed. The course of the reaction process is followed via the solution pH changes. This approach is different from the integration method in which the determination of the substrate or product concentration is required, which is difficult. The new procedure has been applied to the study of urea hydrolysis by jack bean urease. Not only have the Michaelis constant and catalytic constant been determined with ease, the catalytic mechanism of urease was further clarified. This novel method is applicable to the study of many other enzymatic systems.

▼ The objective of this thesis was to assess numerical techniques that can be utilized to predict gas turbine combustion chamber liner temperature in preliminary design. There are three main aspects of liner temperature prediction that were explored: (1) hot gas temperature prediction; (2) radiation modelling; and (3) cooling technology modelling. Reactor networks, zonal method along with simple one/two-dimensional models were picked for the these three factors. Preliminary tests for zonal method very low run time with results showing accurate trends. Reactor Networks provided valid trends for combustor outlet temperatures; further validation would be required to assess its capability to predict local temperature. One/two-dimensional models for cooling technologies were tested potential benefits over empirical correlations were discussed. Additional validation would be required for all the sub modules to be integrated into a larger Preliminary Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (PMDO) tool for gas turbine combustion chambers.
