Understanding the Issues Affecting the Accuracy of Measuring Oxygen Consumpti...InsideScientific
LIVE WEBINAR: Thursday, December 7, 2017
Sponsor: http://www.aeitehcnologies.com/
During this webinar Phil Loeb introduces the measurements, variables and factors in determining VO2. He examines common sources of error and challenges that influence accuracy and reproducibility, and reviews validation methods commonly used by the research community. Following, Danny Rutar, Managing Director of Redback Biotek, presents best-practices, as embodied by the MOXUS Metabolic Cart, that are proven to minimize data error.
Background information:
Metabolic Carts have been used for decades as a means of measuring Oxygen Consumption, VO2, via indirect calorimetry. However, the accuracy of these systems is generally not well known nor well understood -- there is no universally accepted standard for determining the accuracy, or the validity, of Metabolic Cart measurements. In addition, scientists often do not have access or an appreciation for the specific calculations that are being used by these systems to calculate VO2 and other metabolic data. Collectively, this makes it challenging for researchers and physicians to understand if their data is valid.

Emission Measurements of Various Biofuels using a Commercial Swirl-Type Air-A...JOACHIM AGOU
A joint university-industry research program funded by Rolls-Royce Canada, NSERC and CRIAQ is actually pursued at Université Laval to characterize the combustion performance of liquid (biodiesel blends) and gaseous (syngas blends) biofuels in terms of emissions & smoke and lean blow out. The final objective of the proposed research is to characterize the most promising liquid and gaseous novel biofuels for use in industrial gas turbines in order to reduce greenhouse gases and potentially operation costs. These combustion tests allowed the characterization of standard diesel fuel as a baseline plus two biodiesel blends as well as standard methane as a baseline plus ten syngas blends (CH4, H2, CO and CO2) in order to evaluate the emissions of the main pollutants (CO, CO2, NOx, UHCs and smoke). Combustor exit and wall temperature measurements were also taken to characterize adequately the boundary conditions for future CFD simulations. The flame was contained in a quartz tube combustor operating at ambient outlet conditions and the fuel was delivered through a commercial swirl-type, airblast dual fuel atomizer. The air mass flow rate was kept constant for all fuels to maintain the same pressure drop (ΔP) across the fuel injector while the fuel flow was varied to cover equivalence ratios from 0.5 to 1. A probe connected to a FTIR/FID/O2 gas analyzer system and a smoke filter was fixed to a 3D-axis traverse in order to sample combustion products in a cross pattern at the combustor exit. This way, concentrations of various emissions were obtained at five radial positions. Burned gases and wall temperatures were measured with thermocouples along the test rig. This paper reports the findings of these experimental tests and presents the comparisons of the biofuels with baseline fuels to identify some benefits of these novel biofuels while maintaining an acceptable overall combustion performance.

Experimental investigation of the effect of hydrogen addition on combustion p...Amiya K. Sahoo
The world is presently confronted with two major issues; fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation. Indiscriminate extraction and high consumption of fossil fuels have led to reduction in crude oil resources. The search for an alternative fuel, which promises a harmonious correlation with sustainable development, energy conservation, management, efficiency, and environmental preservation, has become highly pronounced in the present context.
One approach to reduce these problems is by blending hydrogen gas with hydrocarbon fuels used in internal combustion engines.Recently, using hydrogen or hydrogen-gasoline blends as a supplement fuel for spark ignition and compression ignition engines is one of the potential solutions for improving brake thermal efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and pollution emissions from internal combustion engines.
In this paper, advantages and disadvantages of Hydrogen-Gasoline fuels in the context of combustion engines are discussed, and combustion performances and emission characteristics are experimentally investigated at various hydrogen volume fraction and graphs are plotted.
Combine Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Varying Inlet Air Press...IOSR Journals
Abstract: To meet stringent vehicular exhaust emission norms worldwide, several exhaust pre-treatment and
post treatment techniques have been employed in modern engines. Also concern of environmental pollution and
energy crisis all over the world have caused the research attention on reduction of diesel engine exhaust
emissions and saving of energy simultaneously. This investigation mainly focuses on reducing exhaust emission
and energy saving by investigating diesel combustion with neat diesel fuel and a new attachment of pressurized
inlet air with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. Experiment was conducted in a four stroke direct
injection water cooled constant speed diesel engine with pressurize inlet air attachment and EGR system, which
is typically used in agricultural farm machinery. EGR was applied to the experimental engine separately and
also with varying pressure of inlet air. In this study, compressor was used to pressurize the inlet air. The
experiments were carried out to experimentally evaluate the performance and emissions for combine effect
different EGR rates and varying inlet air pressure of the engine. Emissions of hydrocarbon (HC), NOx, carbon
monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature of the exhaust gas were measured. Performance
parameters such as Brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) were calculated. It was
found that combined effect of pressurize inlet air attachment and EGR system provided better result on engine
performance than individual EGR effect. Reductions in NOx and exhaust gas temperature were observed but
emissions of HC, CO and CO2 were found to have increased with combine usage of EGR and inlet air pressure.
Thus the modified engine provides more NOx reduction and better fuel economy without reducing useful
characteristics (brake power, brake thermal efficiency etc) of the engine.

Absorption of CO2 gas from CO
2/Air mixture into aqueous sodium hydroxide solution has been
achieved using packed column in pilot scale at constant temperature (T) of 25±1℃.The aim of the present work
was to improve the Absorption rate of this process, to find the optimal operation conditions, and to contribute to
the using of this process in the chemical industry. Absorption rate (RA) was measured by using different
operating parameters: gas mixture flow rate (G) of 360 -540 m3/h, carbon dioxide inlet concentration (CCO
2) of
0.1-0.5 vol. %, NaOH solution concentration (CNaOH) of 1-2 M, and liquid holdup in the column (VL) of 0.022-0.028 m3 according to experimental design. The measured RA was in the range of RA = 3.235 – 22.340 k-mol/h.
Computer program (Statgraphics/Experimental Design) was used to estimate the fitted linear model of RA in
terms of (G, CCO2, CNaOH, and VL), and the economic aspects of the process. R -squared of RA model was
91.7659 percent, while the standard error of the estimate shows the standard deviation of the residuals to be
1.7619. The linear model of RA was adequate, the operating parameters were significant except the liquid holdup
was not significant, and the interactions were negligible.
Practical Issues of Combustion Oxygen Measurement Specifically Related to NOx...Arjay Automation
Power plants concerned with lowering NOx emissions are making tremendous changes to accommodate EPA regulatory requirements. A substantial number of these changes include the expansion and upgrade of the plant combustion oxygen measurement equipment. There is a striking relationship between the number of NOx reductions projects and the sales quantity of insitu oxygen detectors. The reason is that power plant betterment groups, operators, boiler manufacturers and engineering firms understand the direct relationship between NOx and excess air in the combustion process.
An area of daily practical importance to boiler operators and I&C teams are the common problems with insitu oxygen measurements. This paper focuses on the practical issues of combustion oxygen measurement as they relate to specifically to fuel usage and NOx emissions.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. Summary
Having reviewed the environmental test results, the field carbon mass data, and the plant performance,
I feel the following conclusions may be drawn.
Greater burn efficiency was achieved during the treated test than during the untreated test. It took an
additional 0.39 GPT to heat the product with the untreated oil, thus a 9.7% reduction in fuel consumption was realized
during the treated test. The carbon mass test showed a 70% reduction in volatile hydrocarbons reaching the stack with
the treated fuel vs. the untreated fuel. These tests confirm the earlier findings that the treated fuel yielded more
BTU/lb than the untreated.
Improved environmental conditions were achieved with the improved combustion of fuel. The reduction of
unburned fuel in the gas stream improved opacity and lowered the stack temperature. This allowed for better gas stream
scrubbing as shown in the environmental emissions test. The treated test had a greater potential for fluoride evolution
than the untreated test, but had a 20.1% lower emission under the same scrubber conditions. This confirms the earlier
observations on fuel conversion with the improved flame characteristics with the treated fuel.
Improving Air Quality
Test results have shown that the combined ingredients in Xtreme Fuel Treatment™ provides a synergistic effect to reduce
deposits, minimize corrosion and reduce atmospheric pollution.
The surface modifier in Xtreme Fuel Treatment™ works during the combustion process by reacting with these
contaminants: vanadium, sulfur and sodium, and changing the composition of the ash. It prevents high and low
temperature corrosion specifically by:
Raising the melting point of vanadium compounds so they are non adherent and non-corrosive to high temperature
services. Changing the crystalline form of the ash so that it is lighter, fragments easily and becomes easier to exhaust.
Reduces necessary excess air thus preventing the convention of S02 to S03. Xtreme Fuel Treatment™ can substantially
prevent the buildup of carbon deposits on the gas side of turbochargers. As a result, the rated efficiency of the turbo-
chargers can be maintained and water washing can be significantly reduced. Xtreme Fuel Treatment™ has been found
to lower the ignition point of the carbon in the air as much as 400 degrees F., therefore providing longer residence time
for the combustion process.
Field test have proven just how effective Xtreme Fuel Treatment™ is at reducing the levels of harmful emissions.
Portable analyzers using state of the art, non-dispersive infer red (N DIR) were used to determine the decrease in con-
centrations of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, oxygen and oxides of nitrogen in exhaust gases of test
equipment of various fleets using Xtreme Fuel Treatment™.
CO and HC levels are related to cleanliness of burn, while CO2 levels are related to rate of burn. Therefore, with a
decrease of CO and HC it can be gathered that the fuel is being burned cleaner. On the other hand, with the reduction
of C02 levels, the efficiency of fuel usage increases.

3. Executive Summary
A decrease is hard carbon allows an increase in efficiency of the engine. With the system free from hard
carbon buildup, an additional 3% - 5% increase in fuel savings can be expected. Scientific data on comparable
equipment has shown the need for varying minimum treated operating periods based on equipment type
and application. Locomotive type applications require a minimum of 800 hours-treated operation. Factors such
as high idle time and not operating under a full load require increased treated operating periods to properly
document the product’s effectiveness.
Please note the lab report #31-2271 in this report that advocates the field data as presented. Additionally,
the exhaust filter from the pretreated test is .72 grams heavier than the comparable post-treated filter. As the
accompanying photographs make clear, this is the result of soot deposits caused by incomplete combustion.
The decrease in carbon compounds in the exhaust shows that less hydrocarbon fuel was consumed due to more
complete combustion. This is confirmed by the decrease in excess oxygen in the stack gas.
Total fleet reduction in harmful emissions are as follows: CO levels were reduced 34.6%, HC levels were reduced
41.76%, CO2 levels were reduced 2.6%, O2 levels were decreased by 7.3%. Test data for fuel consumption on unit
#3236 had relative reductions in the range of 1.72% to 2.84% with a test run average of 2.12%.
Reduction in NOx:
The amount of NOx generated in a combustion process is directly related to the amount of excess air
required to achieve complete combustion. The nitrogen is fixed from the amount of air brought in to the
system. Seventy toeighty percent of the air brought into the combustion process is exhausted as NOx.
Executive Summary
Total fleet reduction in harmful emissions are as follows: CO levels were reduced -42.7%. HC levels were reduced -44.8%.
CO2 levels were reduced -7.9%. O2 levels were increased by +5.1%. The overall reduction in fuel consumption in the
test stacks, on the two locomotives were in the range of -2.73% to -15.89% with a test stack average of 8.65%. The more
residue to clean-up the greater the percent increase in efficiency. When the system is clean an additional three to five
percent fuel saving can be expected.
The decrease in carbon compounds in the effluent shows that less hydrocarbon fuel was consumed. This is
confirmed by the increase in excess oxygen in the stack gas. Additional proof of improved combustion is the removal
of solid hydrocarbon deposits from within the combustion chamber, plus the intake and exhaust ports.
Conclusions
The overall levels in harmful emissions of Carbon Monoxide, unburned Hydrocarbons and Carbon Dioxides
were reduced in the fleet. Table 2 shows CO (Carbon Monoxide) levels were reduced -42.7%, HC (Hydrocarbon)
levels were reduced -44.8%, CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) levels were reduced -7.9%, O2 (Oxygen) levels were increased +5.1%.
PV (pressure values) were not recorded on unit #1555 due to high fluctuations in pressure output. A placebo number was
substituted for the computer to facilitate a formula computation. Because this number was duplicated from the base-
line to treated; it had no effect on values.
Noticeable effects at the test sight, during the treated portion, should be noted. There was an increase ability to breathe
without the aid of a filter mask. The decrease in emissions enabled this. There was also a noticeable increase in particu-
late being emitted from the exhausts. This is indicative of the cleaning phase of the product. Eventually wth continued
product use, this will decrease to less than noticeble.

4. A qualitative smoke reduction test was performed during the test. this was done by attaching a 25 micron
filter to the exhaust gas sampling train for each test. The filter traps unburned fuel exhausted from the engine as

CO and HC levels are related to cleanliness of burn, while CO2 levels are related to rate of burn. Therefore, with a
decrease in CO and HC it can be gathered that the fuel is being burned cleaner. On the other hand, with the reductions
of CO2 levels, the efficiency of fuel usage increases.

Conclusions
The series of tests conducted on a number of vehicles confirms that the fuel will reduce fuel consumption and increase
the efficiency of each engine.
The overall levels in harmful emissions of Carbon Monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons were reduced in the fleet. For
the first treated test (table la). CO levels increased an overall 5.45% HC levels increased an overall 22.1%.
For the treated test the overall reductions in fuel consumption in the mobile fleet were in the range of 1.92% to 21.23%
with a test fleet average of 12.1%

7. There are many uncontrollable variables that can effect the efficiency of an engine. Basically, any variable relating to
the “combustion process” can effect the performance of an engine, thereby effecting the outcome of a Carbon Mass
Balance test. During a Carbon Mass Balance test, all factors that can be controlled and/are recorded and duplicated
from baseline to treated test to insure an accurate test can be conducted.
