Abstract The length of flame and behavior of the flame and homogenization in temperature distribution play the main roles to obtain a better quality of lime. Performing experiments in a real lime shaft kiln plant are quite complicated. A lime shaft kiln normally has a large geometry, including a height of 15 meters and a diameter of 3 meters, and is filled with large stones moving in a vertical direction. In most cases, the measuring instruments are damaged. Due to these difficulties, modeling of physical and chemical processes is required for having a better understanding of… More >

Abstract Understanding the flow pattern of the gas jets in packed beds can have considerable significance in improving reactor design and process optimization. This study researches the fuel diffusion in the radial direction and the flame length in a packed bed of a Parallel Flow Regenerative (PFR) Shaft kiln. This kiln is characterized that the fuel being injected vertically into the packed bed using a lot of lances in the cross-section while the combustion air is distributed continuously. The packed bed approximated as a porous media and the measured values match approximately with those calculated with More >

Abstract Carbon dioxide geological sequestration is an effective method to reduce the content of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere of our planet. This process can also be used to improve the production of oil reservoirs by mixing carbon dioxide and crude oil. In the present study, a differential separation experiment (DL) based on actual crude oil components is used to simulate such a process. The results show that after mixing, the viscosity and density of reservoir fluid decrease and the volume coefficient increase, indicating that the pre buried gas induces fluid expansion and an improvement of More >
