The influence of fuel structure on CO and NOx formation in lean premixed hydrocarbon flames
A study is made of the influence chemical structure of fuel has
upon combustion performance through tracing the generation of carbon
monoxide and oxides of nitrogen in lean, premixed, hydrocarbon-air
flames. The study includes both analytical and experimental investi-
gations.
On the analytical side, a kinetic model is developed to predict
both CO and NO time-histories in one-dimensional, premixed flames.
The model is based upon the assumption of partial equilibrium in the
post-flame zone while the fuel oxidation in the main reaction zone is
allowed for by using a global oxidation rate equation. NO formation
is assumed to be entirely via the Zeldovitch mechanism and to start
in the post-flame zone. The utility of the model is judged through
comparison between theoretical results and experimental data.
On the experimental side, a simple burner system, supporting a
one-dimensional premixed flame was designed and built. All fuels
selected for investigation were pure hydrocarbons representing the
main hydrocarbon types usually found in practical fuels; namely
paraffins, olefins, naphthenes and aromatics. The hydrogen-to-carbon
ratio ranged from 1 to 2.67 and the carbon number from 3 to 12. The
experiments were performed at 1,2 and 3 atm pressure levels and 140°C
inlet temperature, while the equivalence ratio was in the range 0.6
to 0.9. Flames were sampled for most stable species by a water-
cooled stainless steel sampling probe.
The experimental results show that the fuel structure signifi-
cantly affects CO time-histories in the investigated flames mainly
through influencing its generation rather than its burnout. CO
burnout is shown to be mainly controlled by radical recombination
processes, and the experimentally derived CO global oxidation rate
equations are found not to be universally applicable. The results
also show that the fuel structure influences prompt NOx formation
within, and very near, the main reaction zone but that it does not
influence post-equilibrium NOx formation if account is taken of
differences in the flame temperatures. N02 is found to constitute a
large percentage of total NOx measured especially at lower temperature
and equivalence ratios.
Comparison between experimental and theoretical results show
that the prescribed kinetic model can satisfactorily predict CO levels
for different fuels and under different conditions if the fuel oxidation
global rate equation is correctly defined for different fuels. On the
other hand, agreement between predicted and measured NO profiles has
been obtained at atmospheric pressure only. At high pressure, the
predicted levels were much smaller than those measured experimentally,
and this disagreement is attributed to the fact that proper account is
not taken of the NO and N02 formation kinetics in the main reaction
zone

Stochastic Production Frontier Models to Explore Constraints on Household Travel Expenditures Considering Household Income Classes
This paper explores the variation of household travel expenditure frontiers (HTEFs) prior to CC reform in Jakarta. This study incorporates the variation of household income classes into the modeling of HTEFs and investigates the degree to which various determinants influence levels of HTEF. The HTEF is defined as an unseen maximum (capacity) amount of money that a certain income class is willing to dedicate to their travel. A stochastic production frontier is applied to model and explore upper bound household travel expenditure (HTE). Using a comprehensive household travel survey (HTS) in Jakarta in 2004, the observed HTE spending in a month is treated as an exogenous variable. The estimation results obtained using three proposed models, for low, medium and high income classes, show that HTEFs are significantly associated with life stage structure attributes, socio-demographics and life environment factors such as professional activity engagements, which is disclosed to be varied across income classes. Finding further reveals that considerable differences in average of HTEFs across models. This finding calls for the formulation of policies that consider the needs to be addressed for low and medium income groups in order to promote more equity policy thereby leading to more acceptable CC reform

Synthesis of Supported Catalysts by Dry Impregnation in Fluidized Bed
The synthesis of catalytic or not composite materials by dry impregnation in fluidized bed is described. This process can be carried out under mild conditions from solutions of organometallic precursors or colloidal solutions of preformed nanoparticles giving rise to reproducible metallic nanoparticles containing composite materials with a high reproducibility. The adequate choice of the reaction conditions makes possible to deposit uniformly the metal precursor within the porous matrix or on the support surface. When the ratio between the drying time and the capillary penetration time (tsec/tcap) is higher than 10, the impregnation under soft drying conditions leads to a homogeneous deposit inside the pores of the particles of support. The efficiency of the metal deposition is close to 100%, and the size of the formed metal nanoparticles is controlled by the pores diameter. Finally, some of the presented composite materials have been tested as catalysts: iron-based materials were used in carbon-nanotubes synthesis, while Pd and Rh composite materials have been investigated in hydrogenation reactions
