An overset grid method was developed to investigate the interaction between a particle-laden flow and a circular cylinder. The method is implemented in the Pencil Code, a high-order finite-difference code for compressible flow simulation. High-order summation-by-parts operators were used at the...
Soot is an important toxic pollutant generated during high-temperature incineration of solid waste (i.e., biomass and plastic waste) under air-lean conditions, and has a great impact on flame radiation. The main objective of this work is to study the synergistic effect of biomass and polyurethane co...
A technical evaluation of CO2 capture technologies when retrofitted to a cement plant is performed. The investigated technologies are the oxyfuel process, the chilled ammonia process, membrane-assisted CO2 liquefaction, and the calcium looping process with tail-end and integrated configurations. For...
This study presents a single CO2 vapour-compression system for independent cooling and dehumidification of indoor air conditioning systems. A CO2 gas cooler outlet split (GOS) ejector system is introduced to generate two levels of evaporating temperature, and therefore indoor air temperature and...
The Duran-Grossmann model can deal with heat integration problems with variable process streams. Work and Heat Exchange Networks (WHENs) represent an extension of Heat Exchange Networks. In WHEN problems, the identities of streams (hot/cold) are regarded as variables. The original Duran-Grossmann...
A constrained optimization problem based on the Lagrange multipliers method is formulated to derive the circulating current references of Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) directly in abc coordinates. The resulting analytic expressions for calculating the circulating current reference signals are...
The economic effects of forecasting inaccuracies in the automatic frequency restoration service is analyzed in the context of the operation of a closed-loop and daily-cycle pumped-storage hydropower plant. The uncertainties when scheduling the automatic frequency restoration service are composed by...
The first part of this memo contains the information presented at the COPRO Consortium meeting 2018 with some additional information and results. The models that was used in this analysis were developed and prepared as a task in HighEFF RA 2.1 The results from a screening of a tubes-in-shell heat...
