The structural features and gasification reactivity of chars derived from pyrolysis of a bituminous coal under Ar (Ar char) and CO2 atmosphere (CO2 char) have been investigated, respectively. The pyrolysis was performed in a fixed bed reactor at a final temperature of 700 °C and pressures...

A fin-and-tube evaporator can be used for an ORC (organic Rankine cycle) to collect waste heat of the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. In this paper, the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of an ORC evaporator are analyzed using a CFD method. A 3D numerical model is derived from an...

Aiming at the recovery of exhaust energy for a diesel engine, a set of ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system is designed. The characteristics of the exhaust gas under various operating conditions are studied through experiment. Based on experimental results and theoretical calculation, effects of...
