Abstract:
An impingement injector includes an injector core having a plurality of conduits. The conduits include a first conduit and second conduits disposed circumferentially around the first conduit. The second conduits are at an impinging angle with respect to the first conduit. Replaceable, tunable jets are disposed in corresponding ones of the second conduits.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a closed loop circuit that has a concentrated solar receiver and a particulate thermal transfer media moveable through the closed loop circuit. The particulate thermal transfer media has a melting temperature of greater than 600C°/1112°F. A heat exchanger is in communication with the particulate thermal transfer media.
Abstract:
A biomass torrefaction system includes a mill which receives a raw biomass feedstock and operates at temperatures above 400 F (204 C) to generate a dusty flue gas which contains a milled biomass product.
Abstract:
A chain for a particulate material extrusion pump (10) includes a plurality of links (30A, 30B), each of the plurality of links having a link body (50,54) and a link ledge (50A), wherein each link ledge (50A, 54A) of the plurality of links (30A, 30B) at least partially overlaps the link body (50,54) of an adjacent one of the plurality of links (30A, 30B).
Abstract:
A shaft for a rotary engine defines an axis of rotation, a first eccentric cam axially displaced from a second eccentric cam along the axis of rotation, the first eccentric cam aligned with the second eccentric cam.
Abstract:
A rotary engine includes a rotor housing which defines a rotor volume and a fuel injector which directs a multiple of discrete fuel jets into said rotor volume.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a Steam Assisted Gravity Drain System, and more particularly to a direct steam generator (DSG) that minimizes Carbon Dioxide production. The system includes a combustion chamber that operates with a carbonaceous fuel, an oxidizer and a non-potable water and a convergent-divergent nozzle downstream of said combustion chamber. Various features will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the disclosed non-limiting embodiment.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of this disclosure, a method for manufacturing a component includes providing a first layer of powdered particles onto a table. The method further includes selectively fusing the first layer of powdered particles by transmitting energy from an energy beam through the table.
