A novel index for the study of synergistic effects during the co-processing of coal and biomass (2016)
Journal Article
Oladejo, J. M., Adegbite, S., Pang, C. H., Hao, L., Parvez, A. M., & Wu, T. (2017). A novel index for the study of synergistic effects during the co-processing of coal and biomass. Applied Energy, 188, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2016.12.005

In this study, synergistic interaction between coal and biomass and its intensity were investigated systematically using a low rank coal and its blends with different biomass samples at various blending ratios. The catalytic effects of minerals origi... Read More about A novel index for the study of synergistic effects during the co-processing of coal and biomass.

Characterising pulverised fuel ignition in a visual drop tube furnace by use of a high-speed imaging technique (2016)
Journal Article
Sarroza, A. C., Bennet, T. D., Eastwick, C., & Liu, H. (in press). Characterising pulverised fuel ignition in a visual drop tube furnace by use of a high-speed imaging technique. Fuel Processing Technology, 157, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuproc.2016.11.002

This study investigates the ignition characteristics of pulverised coal, biomass and co-firing by use of a visual drop tube furnace (VDTF) and a high speed imaging technique. Three coals (anthracite, a bituminous coal and a lignite), four biomasses (...

Experimental evaluation of a novel 20kWth in situ gasification chemical looping combustion unit with an iron ore as the oxygen carrier (2016)
Journal Article
Wang, X., Jin, B., Zhu, X., & Liu, H. (2016). Experimental evaluation of a novel 20kWth in situ gasification chemical looping combustion unit with an iron ore as the oxygen carrier. Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 55(45), 11775-11784. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.iecr.6b03028

This study presents the results obtained from the operation of a 20 kWth in situ gasification chemical-looping combustion (iG-CLC) unit with a Chinese bituminous coal as the fuel and a natural iron ore as the oxygen carrier. This unit was built based... Read More about Experimental evaluation of a novel 20kWth in situ gasification chemical looping combustion unit with an iron ore as the oxygen carrier.

Z-source matrix rectifier (2016)
Journal Article
Zhang, C., Hongchen, L., Yuliang, J., Dan, Z., Wheeler, P., & Guolei, F. (2016). Z-source matrix rectifier. IET Power Electronics, 9(13), 2580-2590. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-pel.2015.0966

This paper presents a novel Z-source matrix rectifier(ZSMR). To overcome the inherent disadvantage that the voltage transfer ratio for traditional matrix rectifier cannot be more than 0.866, a Z-source network has been combined with the matrix rectif... Read More about Z-source matrix rectifier.

Evaluation of mixing and mixing rate in a multiple spouted bed by image processing technique (2016)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Zhong, W., Rui, X., Jin, B., & Liu, H. (in press). Evaluation of mixing and mixing rate in a multiple spouted bed by image processing technique. International Journal of Chemical Reactor Engineering, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.1515/ijcre-2016-0072

Mixing efficiency is one of the most significant factors, affecting both performance and scale-up of a gas-solid reactor system. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the particle mixing in a multiple spouted bed. Image processing tech...
