Liquid fuels that can be burned either in boilers or compression ignition engines to generate electricity have been the target products. The CO2 and H2O produced from combustion are recirculated back to the synthesis units, thus forming a closed cycle of “renewable energy (unstable energy supply) + CO2 + H2O → liquid fuels → electricity (stable supply)”. This novel closed loop energy storage process integrated with a 670 MW supercritical power plant was analyzed using the Aspen Plus software package. Methanol was selected as the targeted liquid fuel through three major synthesis routes: CO + H2, CO2 + H2 and CO2 + H2O, in which CO and H2 came from the electrolysis of CO2 and H2O. The performances of the three methanol synthesis routes were thermodynamically analyzed. The results show that the optimal methanol synthesis route is the direct conversion of CO2 and H2O through electrocatalysis when CO2 conversion is above 42%, while when CO2 conversion is below 42% the best choice turned out to be the CO hydrogenation. The direct conversion of (CO2 + H2O) using electrocatalysis method was adopted as the liquid fuel synthesis route for the near-zero-carbon-emission power plant. The overall CO2 emission from the near-zero-carbon-emission power plant is 44.13 kg/MWh accounting for just 6.45% of the advanced coal fired power plant.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:52 AEDT ]]> Experimental study of gas-liquid-solid flow characteristics in slurry Taylor flow-based multiphase microreactors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37960 S), bubble size (LB) and rising velocity (VB) in STFRs and their dependence on operating conditions. Under high Reynolds numbers (Re'≥681), many particles are present in the liquid film and significant bubble surface wave disturbance is observed even when the Capillary number is low (Ca'<0.01). Depending on whether bubble surface distorts (BSD) and/or particles travel between slugs (PTS), four STF patterns are identified and mapped against the flow conditions, with pattern I (with no BSD or PTS) and pattern IV (with both BSD and PTS) occurring at low and high fluids velocities, respectively. The STF patterns are independent of solid loading (when <10%v/v) but show dependency on particle size and flow conditions. Both solid loading and particle size marginally affect VB, yet have a profound impact on LB and LS. Empirical correlations for predicting VB, LB and LS in STFRs are developed. The correlation of VB proves valid for both slurry and standard Taylor flow systems covering 1.2≤Re'≤3551 and 0.0002≤Ca'≤0.39 for a wide range of fluids in both circular and square channels with size of 480µm-3.02mm.]]> Fri 17 Nov 2023 11:43:25 AEDT ]]> LBM study of ice nucleation induced by the collapse of cavitation bubbles https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51804 Fri 14 Jun 2024 10:11:57 AEST ]]> Escape of an air bubble from a droplet under power ultrasound https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51030 Fri 14 Jun 2024 09:57:53 AEST ]]> Theoretical evaluation of a hybrid buoyancy-compressed air energy storage system https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55593 Fri 07 Jun 2024 12:09:42 AEST ]]>
