A Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system fuelled with rice husk is analysed from the thermodynamic, exergetic and economic point of view. The system is based on a gasification process coupled with a rice drying system. The produced syngas is employed to power a Spark Ignition (SI) Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) working as an electric generator, while the jacket cooling water powers a bottoming Organic...
Biomass gasification for the release of a syngas and its use in combined heat and power (CHP) generation systems are attracting realities in the European market, due to the perspective to provide energy to remote districts by using local renewable sources, as residuals of forest practices or agro-food industries. The syngas produced from biomass gasification is a feasible alternative to traditional...
Worldwide escalating energy consumption of recent years, due to the earth population growth and the spreading of industrialization, has resulted in an increased concern about the environmental impact of energy conversion systems. Heavy exploitation and extensive use of fossil fuels have indeed also led to envisage their foreseeable depletion, thus opening the way to the use of alternative fuels as...
The effects of splitting the injection event in a GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine operating with a HOS (homogeneous stratified) lean charge are analysed through experimental and numerical techniques. Injection is assumed as divided in two parts, each delivering the same gasoline amount, the first occurring during intake, the second during compression.The work is initially focused on the experimental...
