M. A. Habib,Hassan M. Badr,Samer F. Ahmed,Rached Ben-Mansour,Khaled Mezghani,Susumu Imashuku,Yang Shao-Horn,N. D. Mancini,Alexander Mitsos,Patrick Kirchen,A. F. Ghoneim +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the performance of combustors utilizing oxy-fuel combustion process, materials utilized in ion-transport membranes and the integration of such reactors in power cycles is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ion transport membrane reactors for oxy-combustion – Part I: intermediate-fidelity modeling
N. D. Mancini,Alexander Mitsos +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an axially spatially-distributed, quasi-two-dimensional model is developed based on fundamental conservation equations, semi-empirical oxygen transport equations obtained from the literature, and simplified fuel oxidation kinetic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ion transport membrane reactors for oxy-combustion–Part II: Analysis and comparison of alternatives
N. D. Mancini,Alexander Mitsos +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an intermediate-fidelity ITM model is used to explore the dependence of ITM performance on reactor geometric structure, flow configuration, operating conditions, membrane material properties, and uncertainty in key modeling assumptions, such as the dominant fuel conversion mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conceptual design and analysis of ITM oxy-combustion power cycles.
N. D. Mancini,Alexander Mitsos +1 more
TL;DR: This article investigates ITM-based oxy-combustion power cycles using an intermediate-fidelity model that captures the complex physical coupling between the two systems and accurately accounts for operational constraints, and explores the merit of implementing partial-emissions cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal design and operation of membrane-based oxy-combustion power plants
TL;DR: In this article, the first-law efficiency is maximized as a function of CO2 emissions with fixed ITM (ion transport membrane) size and consequently, variable power output.
