Etude expérimentale et modélisation de la cinétique de combustion d'alcanes lourds, de kérosènes reformulés et de carburants modèles : formation de polluants / Experimental and modeling study of combustion of high alkanes, reformulated kerosenes and surrogate fuels : pollutants formationMze Ahmed, Amir Eddine 11 October 2011 (has links)
Au cours de ces dernières années les activités de recherches sur les carburants reformulés destinés au secteur aéronautique ont considérablement augmenté. En effet, le fort développement du secteur aérien pousse les scientifiques à chercher une alternative au carburéacteur destiné aux aérodynes dans le but d’économiser le pétrole mais aussi de lutter contre le réchauffement climatique et la pollution atmosphérique. Dans cette thèse nous avons mené des expériences d’oxydation sur trois hydrocarbures lourds, un kérosène conventionnel Jet A-1, des kérosènes reformulés (bio kérosène) et de synthèse (carburant issu de la synthèse Fischer-Tropsch). Ces études ont été réalisées en réacteur auto-agité par jets gazeux à haute pression (10 atm), dans un large domaine de températures (550-1150 K) et à trois richesses (Ф=0,5, 1 et 2). Les analyses par spectrométrie d’absorption infrarouge à transformée de Fourier (IRTF) et la chromatographie en phase gazeuse (CPG-FID-TCD-MS) nous ont permis de mesurer les profils de concentration des réactifs, des produits finals et des intermédiaires stables en fonction de la température. Des mécanismes cinétiques détaillés adaptés aux composés étudiés ont été développés et validés par confrontation avec les résultats expérimentaux. / In recent years research activities on reformulated fuels for the aviation industry have increased. Indeed, the strong development of the airline industry pushes scientists to seek for alternative jet fuel intended for aerodynes in order to preserve oil but also to fight against global warming and air pollution. In this thesis we have conducted experiments on the oxidation of three heavy hydrocarbons, a conventional Jet A-1, reformulated jet fuels (bio-kerosene) and synthetic kerosene (Fischer-Tropsch jet fuel). These studies were carried out in jet stirred reactor at high pressure (10 atm), in a wide temperature range (550-1150 K), for three equivalence ratios (Ф=0.5, 1, and 2). Chemical analyses by Fourier Transformed Infra-Red spectrometry (FTIR) and gas chromatography (GC-FID-TCD-MS) allowed us to measure concentration profiles of reactants, stable intermediates and final products versus temperature. Detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanisms adapted to the studied compounds were developed and validated by comparison with experimental results.

Fondements de la déshydrogénation partielle : étude théorique et expérimentale sur un nouveau combustible Méthode de traitement pour générer de l'hydrogène à partir de Jet Fuel / Fundamentals of Partial Dehydrogenation : Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on a New Fuel Processing Method to Generate Hydrogen from Jet FuelLiew, Kan Ern 14 December 2011 (has links)
L'un des objectifs de l'industrie aéronautique est, aujourd'hui, de fournir une flotte aérienne plus efficace et plus respectueuse de l'environnement. C'est dans ce contexte qu'une nouvelle génération d'avions dit plus « électrifiés » (MEA, More Electrified Aircraft) est développée. Dans cette optique, l'utilisation multifonctionnelle d'une pile à combustible multifonctionnelle dans l'aéronef permettrait de réduire et de simplifier le nombre de systèmes embarqués. Toutefois l'intégration d'une pile à combustible à l'intérieur d'un avion pose un problème majeur :l'approvisionnement en hydrogène. Pour surmonter cet obstacle, la génération d'hydrogène à bord de l'avion semble être une solution appropriée étant donné la possibilité de produire le combustible à partir du kérosène JET-A1. Les technologies de reformage classique d'hydrocarbures comme le steam reforming, l'oxydation partielle et le reformage autothermique ne sont pas réalisables à bord d'un avion. C'est pourquoi un nouveau concept de génération d'hydrogène, à bord de l'aéronef, a été développé dans ce travail : La déshydrogénation partielle (PdH, PartialDeshydrogenation) du kérozène. Le kérosène modifié par la déshydrogénation est alors réinjecté dans le pool de carburant. L'objectif d'Airbus concernant ses futurs avions est d'embarquer un système de production d'hydrogène avec une capacité volumétrique de 80 gL-1 et une production d'hydrogène de 7.5 kg h-1 pour alimenter une pile à combustible d'une puissance de 125 KW. Dans ce projet, la cible à atteindre pour l'unité de production est : 1000 NLH2kgcat-1h-1 d'hydrogène avec une pureté supérieure à 98 % et une durée de vie de 100 heures.Ce travail s'intéresse à la faisabilité du concept PDh à partir d'études théoriques et expérimentales. Les études théoriques ont pour but de répondre aux questions fondamentales telles que la possibilité de déshydrogéner un hydrocarbure à basse température, la nature des espèces hydrocarbonées dans le carburant et sa pression de vapeur, la température idéale assurant le meilleur compromis entre la production d'hydrogène et la formation de coke qui désactive le catalyseur. Les études expérimentales ont été conduites à la fois à partir de catalyseurs d'hydrogénation-déshydrogénation commerciaux et à partir de catalyseurs optimisés pour la réaction PDh, préparés en laboratoire. A la lumière de ce travail, le matériau présentant les meilleures performances est un catalyseur bimétallique à base de platine et d'étain supporté sur l'alumine-g. Les résultats des différentes études expérimentales sont positifs et montrent qu'à basse température (350 °C) et P = 10 bar, la production d'hydrogène est de 435.3 NLH2kgcat-1h-1 avec une pureté supérieure à 98 % et avec une durée de vie extrapolée à 21.7 h. A haute température (450 °C) et P = 10 bar la pureté du gaz chute à 36.3% mais la production d'hydrogène de 1157.05 NLH2kgcat-1h-1, pour une durée de vie de21.7 h, est plus élevée que la cible fixée. Les courtes durées de vie observées dans les deux conditions d'expérience sont attribuées au dépôt de coke sur le catalyseur et à la présence de soufre au sein du kérosène.Toutefois ces travaux ont permis de montrer la pertinence et la faisabilité du concept PDh même si des recherches complémentaires demeurent nécessaires pour une application embarquée. / The aviation industry is in support to bring greener and more efficient aircraft into the skies, as new generation of more electrified aircraft (MEA) are being developed. One technology on this roadmap is to implement a fuel cell on-board an aircraft, which has a “multi-functional” approach and can reduce many on-board systems & simplify operations for an aircraft. However, the implementation of a PEMFC on-board has one drawback – the supply of hydrogen. On-board hydrogen generation poses certain advantageous as there is already a hydrogen-rich material on all aircrafts, aviation fuel Kerosene Jet A-1. However, conventional fuel reforming technologies such as steam reforming, partial oxidation (thermal or catalytic) and autothermal reforming are not feasible for aircraft application. Therefore, a novel hydrogen generation concept was developed in this work that is geared towards on-board operation called Partial Dehydrogenation (PDh). For future aircraft, Airbus is aiming to have a hydrogen delivery system with a volumetric capacity of ca. 80 g L--1, delivering 7.5 kg hr-1 of hydrogen to power a 125 kWe PEMFC on-board. However to nurture this new hydrogen generation concept, milestones were set to focus the development which is limited to 1000 NLH2 kgcat-1 hr-1 with >98 % pure hydrogen with a lifetime of 100 hours. This work investigates the feasibility of the concept of PDh, from theoretical studies to experimental investigations, paving the way to appraise the discoveries so far for aircraft applicability. Theoretical studies were aimed at answering fundamental questions such as the potential of low temperature dehydrogenation, hydrogen availability from Kerosene Jet A-1, hydrocarbon species within the fuel, the vapour pressure of such a complex fuel, and the ideal temperature range to operate for hydrogen liberation with limit coke formation. Experimental investigations were performed with commercial hydrogenation-dehydrogenation catalysts, as well as experimental catalysts designed for the PDh process. In which the best catalyst found thus far is a bimetallic Tin-Platinum catalyst on ã-alumina. The overall findings of the experimental investigation were positive and can be summed up in two different stages of development. At low temperature of 350 °C at 10 bar, hydrogen produced was at 435.3 NLH2 kgcat-1 hr-1, hydrogen purity exceeding 98 % were obtained but with an extrapolated lifetime of 21.7 hours. At higher temperature of 450 °C at 10 bar, hydrogen purity dropped to 36.3 % but exceeded the activity goal with 1157.05 NLH2 kgcat-1 hr-1, however, the lifetime was still extrapolated to be in the region of 21.7 hours. Coke deposition and the influence of sulphur can be explained by the short lifetime found within the experiments. Nevertheless, the novel hydrogen production concept PDh has been showed to be possible, but further research and development is required to achieve on-board applicability.

A Path to the Formulation of New Generations of Synthetic Jet Fuel Derived from Natural GasAl-Nuaimi, Ibrahim Awni Omar Hassan 16 December 2013 (has links)
Characterization of jet fuels obtained from sources other than crude oil is a modern area of research that is developing continuously to replace available petroleum-based fuels with ‘drop-in’ alternative fuels. Therefore, reliable composition-property relations are developed to correlate the hydrocarbon compositions of formulated synthetic fuels with their properties to be certified for aviation commercial use.
Intensive studies have been initiated at Texas A&M University Qatar in collaboration with industry and academia to study synthetic jet fuels derived from natural gas. These studies are being implemented at its Fuel Characterization Lab where the most advanced testing equipment is used and strict Quality Management and safety systems are followed.
This study is divided into two tracks. The first track is focused on conducting experimental investigations using in-house formulated synthetic jet fuels derived from natural gas via Gas-to-Liquid technology and Fischer-Tropsch chemistry. Throughout this research work, these fuels will be referred to as Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (SPK). These experimental investigations activities are composed of three phases: the first phase focuses on the influence of SPK building blocks (paraffinic hydrocarbons) on fuels’ properties, the second phase concerns evaluating the role of aromatics and cyclo-paraffins on properties, and the third phase studies the influence of mixing SPK with conventional Jet A-1 derived from crude oil. All of the aforementioned experimental investigations are aimed at building an experimental data bank to assist the efforts of the formulation of new generations of SPKs that meet aviation industry standards. On the other hand, the second track is directed towards the development of mathematical correlations for four properties of high importance to SPK certification. These correlations aim at optimizing fuel composition whereby major physical/chemical properties of ASTM D1655 are met at the lowest cost of composed fuel.
The primary findings of this study showed that GTL derived SPK paraffinic constituents can improve certain properties while affecting others negatively, and emphasizing the necessity of aromatics in improving specific properties. Further studies compensating the absence of aromatics and sulfur through blended Jet A-1 revealed a practical solution through jet fuels optimization based on cost and technical effective manners.

The Evolution of Soot Morphology in Laminar Co-flow Diffusion Flames of the Surrogates for Jet A-1 and a Synthetic KeroseneKholghy, Mohammad Reza 20 November 2012 (has links)
An experimental study was performed to study soot formation and evolution in atmospheric, laminar, coflow, diffusion flames of Jet-A1, Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene and their surrogates. Light extinction, rapid thermocouple insertion and thermophoretic sampling followed by transmission electron microscopy and atomic forced microscopy were used to obtain soot volume fraction profiles, temperature profiles and soot morphologies, respectively. Different soot evolution processes were observed on the flame centerline and on a streamline with a significantly different temperature history. Formation and agglomeration of the first soot particles are different on the two streamlines. Transparent liquid-like particles are produced in large volumes in the early regions of the flame centerline where T < 1500 K; these particles are undetectable by the extinction method with the wavelength of 632.8 nm. Most of the currently used computational soot models do not predict the liquid-like nature of nascent soot particles which has major effects on the modeling.

Previous issue date: 2015-09-25 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The increase in global energy demand has contributed to the search for alternative energy sources aimed at reducing the dependency on fossil fuels. The airline industry increasingly invests in the development of a less dependent on fossil fuel sources, that is from renewable sources and to maintain the original composition of fossil kerosene (jet fuel-1), preventing changes are needed in aircraft engines. An alternative is the production of so-called Biokerosene from oil intended for energy purposes. In this context, there are the jatropha oil (Jatropha curcas L.), babassu (Orbignya phalerata) and palm kernel (Elaeis guineenses) who present themselves as strong potential for the production of bio-kerosene. The objective of this study was to obtain an alternative aviation biofuel to fossil kerosene (jet fuel-1) from the transesterification reaction by homogeneous catalysis, esters were subjected to vacuum fractional distillation process, and the fractions that showed higher contents of minor carbon chains compounds were mixed with fossil commercial kerosene in the proportions of 5, 10 and 20% (biokerosene/kerosene). Also mixtures of the methyl esters of kerosene were performed in the same proportions. Some quality specifications determined by the standard of ANP No. 38 of 28.07.2011 DOU 29.07.2011, as the kinematic viscosity, calorific value, density and flash point were tested for both the methyl esters and bio-kerosene as to their mixtures to fossil kerosene. Mixtures up to 20% bio-kerosene jatropha, babassu and palm kernel in the evaluated quality parameters only the calorific value did not meet the established limits, lying below this by a very small margin. Based on these results, it has been found feasible to carry blends of Jatropha Biokerosene, babassu oil and palm kernel prepared by this method with commercial jet fuel up to 10% (v/v), and if the range of acceptability of parameters is larger this percentage can reach up to 20%. The characterization of mixtures of methyl esters/kerosene confirmed that the biofuels obtained by the proportion between 10 and 20%, has properties comparable with the commercial aviation fuel available. / O aumento da demanda energética mundial tem contribuído para a busca de fontes alternativas de energia que visem à redução na dependência de combustíveis fósseis. O setor aéreo investe cada vez mais no desenvolvimento de um combustível menos dependente de fontes fósseis, que seja de origem renovável e que mantenha a composição original do querosene fóssil (QAV-1), evitando que sejam necessárias modificações nos motores das aeronaves. Uma alternativa está na produção do denominado bioquerosene a partir de oleaginosas destinadas para fins energéticos. Nesse contexto, tem-se os óleos de pinhão manso (Jatropha curcas L.), babaçu (Orbignya phalerata) e palmiste (Elaeis guineenses) que se apresentam como forte potencial para a produção de bioquerosene. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a obtenção de um biocombustível de aviação alternativo ao querosene fóssil (QAV-1), a partir da reação de transesterificação por catálise homogênea, os ésteres obtidos foram submetidos ao processo de destilação fracionada a vácuo, e as frações que apresentaram maiores teores de compostos de cadeias de carbono menores foram misturadas ao querosene fóssil comercial nas proporções de 5, 10 e 20% (bioquerosene/querosene). Também foram realizadas misturas dos ésteres metílicos com o querosene nas mesmas proporções. Algumas especificações de qualidade determinadas pela Norma da ANP Nº 38, de 28.07.2011 DOU 29.07.2011, como a viscosidade cinemática, poder calorífico, massa específica e ponto de fulgor, foram testadas tanto para os ésteres metílicos e bioquerosene quanto para as suas misturas ao querosene fóssil. As misturas de até 20% de bioquerosene de pinhão manso, babaçu e palmiste nos parâmetros de qualidade avaliados apenas o poder calorífico não atendeu os limites estabelecidos, encontrando-se abaixo deste por uma margem muito pequena. Com base nestes resultados, verificou-se ser viável realizar misturas de bioquerosene de pinhão manso, babaçu e palmiste preparadas por este método com querosene de aviação comercial em até 10% (v/v), e caso a faixa de aceitabilidade dos parâmetros seja ampliada, este percentual pode chegar a até 20%. As caracterizações das misturas dos ésteres metílicos/querosene confirmaram que o biocombustível obtido pela proporção entre 10 e 20%, possui propriedades comparáveis com o combustível de aviação comercial disponível.

Atomization Characteristics of Camelina and Jatropha-Derived Drop-in Aviation BiofuelsVankeswaram, Sai Krishna January 2015 (has links)
Biofuels in civil aviation is actively studied in recent years to identify potential alternative jet fuels to meet stringent environmental regulations imposed to tackle degraded air quality caused by fossil fuel combustion. In this context, the aviation industry prefers to develop ‘drop-in’ fuels which may not require substantial modifications in existing jet engine technologies. The thesis aims at evaluating the atomization characteristics of camelina- and jatropha-derived drop-in biofuels discharging from simplex swirl atomizer used in aircraft gas turbine engines. The test fuels are characterized in detail and all fuels meet current ASTM D7566 specifications. The experiments are conducted by discharging fuel spray into quiescent atmospheric air in a fuel spray booth to obtain spray characteristics such as fuel discharge behaviour, spray cone angle, breakup behaviour of swirling fuel sheet and spray drop size distribution. The characteristics of sheet breakup are deduced from the captured images of biofuel sprays and the measurements of spray droplet size distribution are obtained using Spraytec (laser-diffraction instrument). A systematic comparison is made between the biofuel sprays and the 100% Jet A-1 (conventional aviation kerosene) sprays to evaluate the drop-in feature of the biofuels. All the measured spray characteristics of the biofuel sprays follow the Jet A-1 both in qualitative and quantitative terms which ensure the drop-in nature of the tested biofuels. The minor differences observed in the comparison of the quantitative spray measurements are attributed to the variation in the fuel properties. This claim is supported using the predictions obtained from the liquid film breakup model and the empirical correlation reported in the literature for the determination of sheet breakup characteristics and mean drop size for sprays discharging from simplex swirl atomizers.
