Oxy-fuel combustion of coal pyrolysis gas has recently been proposed to serve as internal heat source of a vertical low-temperature pyrolysis furnace, in order to make the output pyrolysis gas nearly free of nitrogen and widely useful. To keep the pyrolysis temperature and the heat carrier gas volume unchanged from air combustion to oxy-fuel combustion, the equivalence ratio has to be increased up to 8. To explore the flame temperature and species variation at this ultra-rich condition, freely propagating premixed oxy-fuel flames of a typical coal pyrolysis gas at equivalence ratios of 0.5–10 are numerically studied with detailed chemistry. It is found that super-adiabatic flame temperatures (SAFT) occur at equivalence ratios larger than 3 for the considered pyrolysis gas and the SAFT magnitude is 294 K at equivalence ratio of 8. Due to the high H2 mole fraction (46%) in the pyrolysis gas, preferential diffusion plays a negligible role in the SAFT feature. Global net production of CO and H2 by the rich combustion only occurs at moderate equivalence ratio ranges, which are 1.5–8 and 3–5.5 respectively for the two species. At equivalence ratio of 8, the three fuel components are all net consumed following the mole ratio of CH4:CO:H2 = 1:0.07:0.84. Kinetic analysis reveals three factors responsible for the reaction mechanism change with the increase in equivalence ratio. Firstly, the lack of H-radical and the decrease in temperature result in the disappearance of the H2 production peak in the initial stage. Secondly, HO2 attack to CO prevails and hence contribution of CO oxidation in the initial stage increases. Thirdly, the long lasting OH attack to CO and H2 leads to the weakened CO and H2 production rate in the final stage., Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public., Fluid Mechanics

Eddy dissipation concept (EDC) model and flamelet generated manifolds (FGM) model are developed separately to study the temperature profiles and extinction limits of non-premixed hydrothermal flames. Predictions by the two models are evaluated comparatively by experimental data in literatures. FGM model shows relatively better prediction of temperature than EDC model in the near nozzle field. Extinction temperatures can be predicted by EDC model with deviations of 10–33 K. The extinction flow rates predicted by the FGM model are higher than those by the EDC model. Flow fields and reaction source terms are analysed to identify the inherent mechanism leading different results by the two models. It is illustrated that the positive effect of turbulence on reaction rate near the nozzle by the FGM model is the essential reason causing different flame characteristics from the EDC model by which the turbulence only has negative effect on reaction rate., Accepted Author Manuscript, Fluid Mechanics

In this paper,we design a formation control systrm for multi-unmanned ground vehicles(UGV) from the prospective of path planning and path tracking.The master-slave control is adopted by electing out a main vehicle to address the problem of possible accumulation,tranmission and amplification of errors.In the process of formation transformation,we first generate an expected path by combing the methods of dynamic window and potential energy field.Then a path tracking algorithm based on Hermite curve is adopted to make the formation transformation process more stable and accurate.Finally,the evaluation system of the formation control system is constructed,which combines the expected position,the actual position,the expected speed, the actual speed and the actual acceleration,giving an evalutaion on the performance of the formation transformation,response of the formation driving process and the performance of the formation stability., Comment: This paper's conclusion is not adequate and the method is not innovative. we want to improve the paper's quality
