Schematic of a generic electro fuel cycle • Produced using clean renewable energy/nuclear energy, they can have low net carbon-dioxide emissions. • The product of fuel combustion, or oxidation, must be recycled back into the fuel with minimal loss to the environment https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2017/se/c7se00004a#!divAbstract
as additives in propellants because of their high enthalpy of combustion[3,4] Solid propellant for rocket enhances combustion stability[4,5] Different metal powders have different energy densities compare to hydrocarbon fuels [3] Divekar et al., 2003 [4] Kuo et al., 1984 [5] Summerfield et al., 1969 NASA, Penn State, Purdue Join research rocket with ALICE (Aluminum-Ice)
Wet Cycle, the high-temperature metal might react with water, leading to exothermicity and hydrogen production. Aluminum mixed with water as an oxidizer has 4,212 Whkg-1 of the specific energy and 11,374 WhL-1 Dry Cycle, direct combustion with air and hydrocarbon fuel for an external combustion heat engine. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Schematic-diagram-of-the-metal-fuel-concept- showing-the-different-routes-for-power_fig5_327372687
Vapor Phase Droplet Combustion, e.g., Al, Mg. Micro flame Nano-oxide • Vapor phase droplet combustion • Micro flame will appeared in the metal vapor region • Homogeneous combustion reaction
Heterogeneous combustion with gaseous and sub oxides, e.g., B and Si. Sub-oxide reaction /condensation zone Micro flame Nano-oxide • Forming a gaseous oxide and sub-oxide • Micro flame will occurred in the metal droplet surface • Homogeneous reaction appear in mode a and mode b, the metal oxide will become smaller than its initial condition https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306261915011071
C: Heterogeneous combustion with porous oxide shell, e.g., Fe. • Completely react in heterogeneous combustion • Produce larger metal oxide • Easier to capture for recyclability purpose https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306261915011071
