This work presents a theoretical study on the thermal coupling of ethanol steam reforming with ethanol combustion in a parallel plates reactor. A one-dimensional, heterogeneous, mathematical model is used and the effects ...

A detailed numerical simulation of ethanol turbulent spray combustion on a rounded jet flame is pre- sented in this article. The focus is to propose a robust mathematical model with relatively low complexity sub- models ...

A sensitive SIA method was developed for sulphate determination in automotive fuel ethanol. This method was based on the reaction of sulphate with barium–dimethylsulphonazo(III) leading to a decrease on the magnitude of ...

The use of ethanol as a fuel or as an additive blended with gasoline is very important for most countries, which aim to reduce the heavy dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate greenhouse gases emission. An increased use ...

This paper deals with the study of the integration of ethanol steam reforming and ethanol combustion in a parallel plates reactor aiming a hydrogen production of 1 kW th equivalent. The study was performed by means of a ...

Flammability limits must be identified in order to assess and control handling risks of particular processes according to combustion product composition and environmental conditions. Thereby, the present paper aims to ...
