Methane is the primary component of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and a potent greenhouse gas (GHG). The undesired methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain has been proven to worsen the lifecycle GHG emissions from the transportation…
Increasing worldwide energy demand requires the replacement of fossil fuel sources with clean and alternative ones to limit the chances of a climate collapse. In this scenario, natural gas supplies approximately 30% of total energy demand and is…
The oil and gas industry has paid increasing attention to energy consumption and is taking steps to reduce emissions owing to growing environmental concerns. In this study, a method for designing the optimization of crude oil pipelines is proposed to…
Conventional thermal energy storage (TES) media and heat transfer fluids (HTFs) currently used in commercial concentrated solar power (CSP) plants are nitrate-based molten salts with working temperature up to about 565 C. Current interest in raising…
Latent heat thermal energy storage was widely used to solve the problem of the intermittency in time and space for solar energy systems. To improve the energy storage efficiency, metal fins were typically further added to the shell side to increase…
A CFD methodology to model natural gas Light-Duty SI (Spark-Ignition) engines is here proposed. The ignition stage is modeled by means of a simplified Eulerian spherical kernel approach (deposition model). Then, the fully turbulent flame propagation…
