226 Effects of partial pressure of oxygen on the stability of axial, oxy-coal, turbulent diffusion flames: Topical report task 82009-07-31Oxy-fuel combustion; Pulverized coal; Flue gas recirculation; CO2 sequestration; Near-burner zone environment; O2; CO2; Partial pressure of oxygen; Flame stability; Air combustion; Coal-jet ignition models; Predicting flame attachment; Retrofit; Oxy-coal combustion; Type 0 axial flames; Turbulent di...Oxy-fuel combustion of pulverized coal with flue gas recirculation is potentially one of the few technologies that may allow CO2 sequestration technologies to be applied to existing coal-fired boilers. One issue of interest is to understand and predict the effects of the near-burner zone environment...
227 Efficient parallelization of RMCRT for large scale LES combustion simulations2011-06monte carlo; RMCRT; parallelization; large scale LES combustion; combustion simulations; radiationAt the high temperatures inherent to combustion systems, radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer. An accurate simulation of a combustor therefore requires precise treatment of radiative heat transfer. This is accomplished by calculating the radiative-flux divergence at each cell of the discr...

236 Environmental impact of in-situ oil shale processing2007-10in situ processing of oil shale; in situ processing; oil shale; production of oil from kerogen; oil productionThe in situ processing of oil shale for the production of oil from the kerogen involves heating the shale slowly to moderate temperatures of between 3000 C and 4000 C. At this temperature, gaseous products that evolve from the oil shale are condensed and recovered. The pathways of creation of oil fr...
