20110165530 | SWIRL-COUNTER-SWIRL MICROJETS FOR THERMOACOUSTIC INSTABILITY SUPPRESSION - Combustor. The combustor includes an axially symmetric tube along with means for introducing fuel and air into the tube. A swirler is disposed within the tube to impart rotation in a first direction to the air/fuel mixture. A plurality of holes downstream of the swirler are disposed around the tube and offset at an angle relative to an inward normal to the tube wall. Air is injected through the offset holes to impart rotation to the air/fuel mixture in a second direction opposite to the first direction. A combustion chamber having a diameter larger than that of the tube receives and burns the air/fuel mixture from the tube. | 07-07-2011 |
20130199425 | INTEGRATED POLYMERIC-CERAMIC MEMBRANE BASED OXY-FUEL COMBUSTOR - Integrated polymeric-ceramic membrane-based oxy-fuel combustor. The combustor includes a polymer membrane structure for receiving air at an input and for delivering oxygen-enriched air at an outlet. An oxygen transport reactor including a ceramic ion transport membrane receives the oxygen-enriched air from the polymer membrane structure to generate oxygen for combustion with a fuel introduced into the oxygen transport reactor. | 08-08-2013 |
20140101986 | Method for Preparing a Slurry of Pulverized Solid Material in Liquid or Supercritical Carbon Dioxide - Method for making a slurry of a pulverized solid in liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide. The method includes making a water-pulverized solid slurry at ambient pressure and pressurizing the water-pulverized solid slurry to a high pressure. The pressurized water-pulverized solid slurry is mixed in a pressurized chamber with liquid or supercritical CO | 04-17-2014 |
20140134551 | Combustion Instability Suppression System Using Heat Insulating Flameholding Material - Combustor. The combustor includes a duct through which an air/fuel mixture flows, including a flame-anchoring region. An insulating material is located proximate the flame-anchoring anchoring region whereby combustion instability is decreased. | 05-15-2014 |
20140134553 | Rotary Bed Reactor for Chemical-Looping Combustion - Reactor for chemical looping combustion. The reactor includes a rotary wheel having a plurality of channels extending therethrough, each channel having a wall with a porous oxygen carrier layer disposed on a bulk layer having high thermal inertia and conductivity. A stationary feeding chamber is located proximate to a bottom portion of the rotary wheel, the feeding chamber partitioned into a plurality of sectors for delivery of a selected pressurized feed gas into the channels of the rotary wheel as it rotates through the sectors. A stationary exit chamber is located proximate a top portion of the rotary wheel, the exit chamber partitioned into at least two sectors through which separate gas streams emerge. A motor is provided for rotating the rotary wheel. In a preferred embodiment, the sectors In the feeding chamber are fuel, air, fuel purging and air purging sectors. | 05-15-2014 |
20150209750 | METHOD FOR PREPARING A SLURRY OF PULVERIZED SOLID MATERIAL IN LIQUID OR SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE - Method for making a slurry of a pulverized solid in liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide. The method includes making a water-pulverized solid slurry at ambient pressure and pressurizing the water-pulverized solid slurry to a high pressure. The pressurized water-pulverized solid slurry is mixed in a pressurized chamber with liquid or supercritical CO | 07-30-2015 |
