...Fatih Aktas In this study, a diesel tractor engine is numerically modeled to run entirely on natural gas by installing a natural gas fuel injector on the intake manifold and assembling a spark plug in lieu of a diesel injector. In the numerical study, the methane chemical kinetic mechanism...

...Abdul Khaliq; Bandar A. Almohammadi; Mathkar A. Alharthi; Mohd Asjad Siddiqui; Rajesh Kumar A natural gas-fueled homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine is coupled to an exhaust gas operated turbine driven two-phase ejector cycle to generate power and cooling energy, simultaneously...

...Romulo Carvalho; Fernando Moraes We investigate three formulations for computing acoustic velocity of natural gas and derive an equation for the heat capacity ratio, which plays a central role in these formulations. The first formulation is a compilation of fundamental equations available...

... permeability reservoirs were experimentally and theoretically investigated. Core plugs collected from a typical China oilfield were utilized for the experiments. Additionally, methane was used as the injection agent to conduct natural gas HNP/displacement experiments. The results indicated that the use...

... 2013 Dual fuel pilot-ignited natural gas engines are identified as an efficient and viable alternative to conventional diesel engines. This paper examines cyclic combustion fluctuations in conventional dual fuel and in dual fuel partially premixed combustion (PPC). Conventional dual fueling...

...Elling Sletfjerding; Jon Steinar Gudmundsson Pressure drop experiments on natural gas flow in 150 mm pipes at 80 to 120 bar pressure and high Reynolds number were carried out for pipes smooth to rough surfaces. The roughness was measured with an accurate stylus instrument and analyzed using fractal...
