Increasing interest in alternative fuels for gas turbines stimulates research in gaseous fuels other than natural gas. Various gas mixtures, based on methane as the main component, are considered as possible fuels in the future. In particular, methane enrichment with hydrogen or dilution with carbon dioxide is of considerable interest. Some experiments and numerical calculations have been undertaken to investigate methane-hydrogen and methane-carbon dioxide gas flames, however most of these investigations are limited by particular pressure or temperature conditions. This paper presents the investigation of the combustion of methane–carbon dioxide mixtures at atmospheric and elevated temperature and pressure conditions. Two experimental rigs were used, a Bunsen burner and swirl burner. Bunsen burner experiments were performed in the High Pressure Optical Chamber, which is located within the Gas Turbine Research Centre of Cardiff University — at 3 bara and 7 bara pressure, and 473 K, 573 K and 673 K temperature conditions for lean and rich mixtures. Planar Laser Tomography (PLT) was applied to investigate turbulent burning velocity. Burning velocity of the gas mixture was calculated using two different image processing techniques and the difference in the results obtained using these two techniques is presented and discussed. Laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) was utilised to define turbulence characteristics such as turbulence intensity and integral length scale. Due to the variability of the velocity flow field and turbulence intensity across Bunsen burners, the importance of measuring position and conditions is discussed. The sensitivity of this variance on the flame regime as defined in the Borghi diagram is evaluated. In the second part of the study, a generic swirl burner was used to define the flame flashback limits for methane–carbon dioxide mixtures at atmospheric conditions. The gas mixture stability graphs are plotted, and the effect of CO2 addition are discussed.

In this paper, Peng Robinson equation of state is used for thermodynamic modeling of the solubility of various solid components in the supercritical carbon dioxide. Moreover, the effects of three mixing rules of Van der Waals mixing rules, Panagiotopoulos and Reid mixing rules and modified Kwak and Mansoori mixing rules on the accuracy of calculation results were studied. Good correlations between calculated and experimental data were obtained in the wide temperature and pressure range. A comparison between used models shows that modified Kwak and Mansoori mixing rules give better correlations in comparison with the other mixing rules.

Polypropylene fibers were dyed with Disperse dyes Blue 2B in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide at different temperature, pressure and time. The K/S value were determined and the effect of as temperature, pressure and dyeing time on the dyeing behaviours of disperse dyes on Polypropylene fibers were discussed. It was found that with the increase of dyeing temperature and pressure, the K/S value increased gradually, and dyeing effect was best after the fiber was dyed at 120 °C, 28 MPa for 20 min.
