Technical review of radiative-property modeling approaches for gray and nongray radiation, and a recommended optimized WSGGM for CO2/H2O-enriched gases by Osama A. Marzouk

“…., the absorption of electromagnetic radiative energy) of constituent species in gaseous media. Oxy-fuel combustion (OFC) is an example where thermal radiation becomes important due to both the high temperature, and the presence of a high concentration of the radiatively-active gaseous species carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) during this oxygen-enriched combustion. …”

Simulation study on catalytic oxidation of low concentration mine gas in an oxidation device by Yuhang Liu, Xijian Li, Qi Xiao, Xingfa Jiang, Weilai Dong, Xianyong Chen, Yuyan Feng

“…The main component of coal mine methane is methane (CH4), which is both a greenhouse gas and a high-quality clean energy gas. To study the combustion and heat transfer reactions of low-concentration coal mine methane in a catalytic oxidation device, a numerical simulation approach was employed to establish a model of the catalytic oxidation device that includes periodic boundary conditions, methane combustion mechanisms, and turbulent-laminar flow characteristics. …”
