Chemical energy carriers are crucial for addressing challenges that arise from time lag,
large distances, and temporal fluctuations in renewable energy production, which lead to …

Storing electrical energy for long periods and transporting it over long distances is an
essential task of the necessary transition to a CO 2-free energy economy. An oxidation …

Metal fuel is one of the attractive alternative fuels for its high energy density and zero carbon
emission. In the past, they were often used as additives in fireworks and propellants. More …

Micrometric spherical particles of iron in two narrow size ranges of (38–45) µm and (45–53)
µm were injected in a bench scale, transparent drop-tube furnace (DTF), electrically heated …

This paper presents the results of experimental measurements of the laminar burning
velocity of iron-air-flames in a model tube burner. Carbonyl iron powder with an average …

In the present study, a novel and initiative approach towards a self-sustainable metal
combustion burner called the “Metal Cyclonic Combustor (MC 2)” is introduced. The results …

In the present study, a novel in situ particle sizing approach is proposed and used to
measure the characteristic timescales of micron-sized iron particle combustion under low …

The paper presents multi-parameter high-speed optical diagnostics of single iron particle
oxidation in a hot laminar flow consisting of O 2, H 2 O, CO 2, and N 2. Prior to luminous …

Ignition temperatures of metal particles play an essential role in not only the fundamental
theories of non-volatile dust flames but also the robust operation of practical metal fuel …

In recent years, metal fuels were discussed as a contribution to meeting the challenges of
the energy transition to a climate-friendly, sustainable energy economy. One material system …
