Intro; Table of Contents; The Author; Acknowledgements; Remerciements; Abstract; Résumé; Introduction; Correlation between fossil energy consumption and economic development; The stability of fossil fuels' place in the world; Combustion, pollution and health; Global pollution or the peril of planet temperature elevation; In the context of growing energy demand, what about other energy sources...?; Chapter One; 1.1 Definition of Wet Combustion; 1.2 General advantages of Wet Combustion; 1.3 Wet combustion with the Water Vapor Pump-cycle; 1.4 Water Vapor Pump-cycle efficiency 1.5 Water vapor pump-cycle applications1.6 About additional water introduction technologies; 1.7 Limits and general precautions for additive water; 1.8 More details about the additional impact of water on combustion; 1.9 About water and material characteristics; Chapter Two; 2.1 A reference to the first thermodynamics principle; 2.2 The dimensionless enthalpy of combustion products; 2.3 The wet bulb temperature; 2.4 The inlet enthalpies; 2.5 Enthalpies derivatives expressions; 2.6 A combustion hygrometric image; 2.7 CHD and metrology; 2.8 The composition of combustion products 2.9 More about the water dew point temperature calculationChapter Three; 3.1 Traditional water heater efficiency; 3.2 Condensing boilers and the WVP cycle; 3.3 Efficiency anticipation of a HAT (Humidified Air Turbine cycle); 3.4 Efficiency anticipation of a STIG (Steam in Gas turbine cycle) equipped with a water vapor pump exchanger on a cogeneration (or heat and power recovery) site; 3.5 Direct contact heaters; 3.6 The water vapor pump exchanger efficiency; 3.7 Graphic study of a water plume formation; 3.8 Monophasic and biphasic exchanges analogy; 3.9 Examples of biphase exchanger sizing ConclusionAnnexes; A.1 Bibliography; A.2 Numerical tables; A.3 Reminders relating to the determination of the convection exchange coefficients and load losses in flows...; A.4 Example of porous membrane sizing; A.5 Example of post-combustion boiler efficiency analysis with the CHD method; A.6 Nomenclature; A.7 Diagrams, CHD drawings
In the past, water was used as an anti-knock agent or as an ""additive"" component to improve combustion quality and to boost engine power. Today, in a context of severe environmental requirements and energy saving responsibilities, the proper use of water continues to offer many possibilities to serve both environmental and energy savings targets. This book builds on previous work dedicated to improving combustion efficiency in reciprocating engines, gas turbines, and boilers by using additive water.
