Book Description
The goal of this research project is to develop a fuel injection system which delivers the desired ratio of air/fuel mixture to small scale internal combustion engines. Small scale engines require precise fuel control, but the fuel delivery system must be small and low-power. Our research is focused on the development of a planar fuel valve with high fuel delivery rates. The planar nature allows for successful system integration with small scale engines and systems. The fuel valve is electromagnetic, as electrostatic systems are not compatible with liquid fueled systems. The valve design is designed to have a very large open to closed fluidic resistance ratio such that when the system is not being operated, that the fuel delivery rate is near zero (i.e. the valve does not leak).

Small-Scale Gas to Liquid Fuel Synthesis

Book Description
It is estimated that a large fraction of natural gas reserves are found in locations from where transport is not economical. If these isolated natural gas reserves could be converted to synthetic fuels, they would generate around 250 billion barrels of synthetic oil—a quantity equal to one-third of the Middle East’s proven oil reserves. Small-Scale Gas to Liquid Fuel Synthesis explores next-generation technologies geared toward overcoming the significant cost and technical barriers prohibiting the extensive use of conventional gas to liquid (GTL) processes for the exploitation of small and/or isolated natural gas reservoirs. The book highlights key research activities in the framework of two large European projects—Innovative Catalytic Technologies & Materials for Next Gas to Liquid Processes (NEXT-GTL) and Oxidative Coupling of Methane followed by Oligomerization to Liquids (OCMOL)—examining novel technical developments that reduce the costs associated with air fractioning and syngas production. Featuring contributions from internationally respected experts, Small-Scale Gas to Liquid Fuel Synthesis discusses innovative GTL technologies based on recent advances in catalytic membrane systems, reaction engineering, and process design. The book provides academic and industrial researchers with a concise presentation of the current state of the art of low-cost, energy-efficient GTL technologies for small-scale applications.

Book Description
(Cont.) geometry to the gas-phase devices were fitted with platinum coated foam materials of various porosity and surface area. For near stoichiometric propane-air mixtures, exit gas temperatures approaching 1100 K were achieved at mass flow rates in excess of 0.35 g/s. This corresponds to a power density of approximately 1200 MW/m3; an 8.5-fold increase over the maximum power density achieved for gas-phase propane-air combustion. Low order models including simple time-scale analyses and a one-dimensional steady-state plug flow reactor model, were developed to elucidate the underlying physics and to identify important design parameters. High power density catalytic microcombustors were found to be limited by the diffusion of fuel species to the active surface, while substrate porosity and surface area-to-volume ratio were the dominant design variables. Experiments and modeling suggest that with adequate thermal management, power densities in excess of 1500 MW/m3 and efficiencies over 90% are possible within the microengine pressure loss constraint and the material limits of the catalyst. A materials characterization study of the catalyst and its substrate revealed that metal diffusion and catalyst agglomeration were likely failure modes.
