Vortex structure and heat transfer in a diffusion combustion field with circulating flow
A numerical study was performed to examine the vortical structures for combusting flow from a two-dimensional bluff-body slot burner in the transitional recirculating flow. The numerical results support the flow visualisation results for C3H8 combustion by Chin and Tankin [Chin, L.P. and Tankin, R.S. (1991) 'Vortical structures in a 2-d vertical bluff-body burner', Combustion Science and ...

Hydrogen storage systems for automotive applications: project StorHy
Around two thirds of world's oil usage is associated with transportation with road vehicles consuming around 40%. Also, transportation accounts for around 25% of greenhouse emissions worldwide, with around 90% coming from road vehicles. This situation is further complicated by the fact that oil reserves are running out. For this reason, the automotive industry supported by relevant governing ...
