To be honest, I am not a qualified engineer but I am interested to conceptualize a energy recovery system for high pressure waste flue gas. And using a simple gas turbine technology. Diagram A would be common gas turbine systems in use where the combusted gas is directly forced onto the turbine...
Thanks for your answer. I am trying to see, if injecting the same amounting of compressed air energy to A and B, I would be able to obtain the same airflow power output in scenario B. For example, if the turbine generator displayed 100 Kwh output in A, what would the power output display in B...
Hi,
I am trying to figure out the strength of the various type of airflow for my Venturi ejector device. Please refer to my diagram that illustrates scenario A or scenario B. The SAME amount of compressed air is injected for both scenario A and B. For simplicity, I have added to an electrical...
I am doing a study to see whether suction force can act as a mechanism to compress air. Let's say I have a normal syringe, which consist of the small cylindrical tip at the top of syringes where you attach the needle. Then there is the larger middle barrel for the liquid, medication, etc. Lastly...
Sorry, there is a 6 inch outlet for the hot gases to escape. I'm trying to model a biomass wood furnace, to feed it with highly compressed air, and through a special mechanism, the forced air will be able to drive 2 shafts. One shaft will power a screw compressor, which feeds the compressed air...
Can anyone help me with this calculation? I'm trying to figure out how much compressed air (generated from screw compressor) will expand by a ratio of what when fed into a wood furnace.
1) Wood Furnace Fuel Input: 30kg dry wood fuel/hr
2) Compressed Air Pressure: 8 bar
3) Compressed Air Flow...
Thx for the replies. I found this info...
"One chemical concern when handling DOW FILMTEC elements is the preservative used with wet tested elements. The preservative solution in wet elements is either 1% sodium metabisulfite in water or 1% sodium metabisulfite and 2.4% citric acid in water."...
Hi Chemisttree,
I'm still a little bit unclear as to the content of your useful reply, sorry for the confusion. So you mean to say that sodium benzoate won't work on its own to preserve the sap, but need to add citric acid to decrease that ph so that the sodium benzoate will be to get to work...
Hi,
I've been doing some research on how to preserve sugar based feedstock such as sap, syrup, juice, etc to be used later for bioethanol production or animal feed. Sugar feedstock derived from sugar crops spoil very quickly due to presence of airborne yeast and bacteria. We have looked at...
That's interesting to know there are such amylase enzymes that work optimally close to room temperature. I'll definitely try to find out more about it. Usually both types of alpha and beta amylases are needed to break down starch to sugar. I'll see if there are both types that work around room...
Ok, so the key would be to add amylase instead of ethylene gas. I had thought about it but aware that amylase worked best at an optimal temperature of 60C thereabouts. Now if I didn't have the luxury of a 60C temp, but only room temperature amylase solution of 25C, would the starches be...
It is commonly known in the fruit industry that ethylene gas is widely used to boost a fruit's ripeness. i.e. fruits are harvested when they are still unripened, but prior to selling them on the market, they are exposed to a dose of ethylene gas, which are fruit's hormones to convert its...
Hi, and thanks for your expert opinions in advance. I'm working on a theoretical scenario of a flue gas funnel. Assuming hot air is rising from a funnel at a constant rate. Would the hot air rise faster if water droplets were sprayed at the top of the funnel, hence lowering the air temperature...
When I mention off-the-shelf components and small scale clean energy generation, what I mean is to use common industrial components with minimal modifications, be it air-over-hydraulic intensifiers, air/hydraulic motors, reverse flow centrifugal pumps, etc to generate rotary power to drive a...
