  2. Flammability diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_diagram

    Consider the first triangular diagram below, which shows all possible mixtures of methane, oxygen and nitrogen. Air is a mixture of about 21 volume percent oxygen, and 79 volume percent inerts (nitrogen). Any mixture of methane and air will therefore lie on the straight line between pure methane and pure air – this is shown as the blue air-line.

  3. Air–fuel ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air–fuel_ratio

    Air–fuel ratio (AFR) is the mass ratio of air to a solid, liquid, or gaseous fuel present in a combustion process. The combustion may take place in a controlled manner such as in an internal combustion engine or industrial furnace, or may result in an explosion (e.g., a dust explosion).

  4. Expander cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expander_cycle

    Expander rocket cycle. Expander rocket engine (closed cycle). Heat from the nozzle and combustion chamber powers the fuel and oxidizer pumps. The expander cycle is a power cycle of a bipropellant rocket engine. In this cycle, the fuel is used to cool the engine's combustion chamber, picking up heat and changing phase.

  5. Combustion analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_analysis

    A CHN analyzer (also known as a carbon hydrogen and nitrogen analyzer) is a scientific instrument which is used to measure carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen elemental concentrations in a given sample with accuracy and precision. [2] Sample sizes are most often just a few milligrams, but may differ depending on system.

  6. Staged combustion cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staged_combustion_cycle

    The fuel turbopump is driven by the fuel-rich preburner, and the oxidizer turbopump is driven by the oxidizer-rich preburner. [ 5 ] [ 4 ] Benefits of the full-flow staged combustion cycle include turbines that run cooler and at lower pressure, due to increased mass flow, leading to a longer engine life and higher reliability.

  7. Brayton cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brayton_cycle

    The fuel system delivered a variable quantity of vaporized fuel to the center of the cylinder under pressure at or near the peak of the compression stroke. The ignition source was an igniter made from platinum wire. A variable-quantity injection pump provided the fuel to an injector where it was mixed with air as it entered the cylinder.

  8. Chemical looping reforming and gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_looping_reforming...

    In the chemical looping system, natural gas and the recycled off-gas from the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) of the SMR process system are used as the feedstock for the CLC fuel reactor operation with CO 2 and the steam as the reaction products. The CLC-SMR concepts have mainly been studied from the perspective of the process simulation.

  9. Compressibility factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor

    Generalized compressibility factor diagram. The unique relationship between the compressibility factor and the reduced temperature, , and the reduced pressure, , was first recognized by Johannes Diderik van der Waals in 1873 and is known as the two-parameter principle of corresponding states. The principle of corresponding states expresses the ...
