“…Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling is a cost-effective tool to study and optimize the process; which is not a trivial task since successful modeling of solid combustion furnaces requires appropriate sub-models to simulate the relevant combustion, flow and transfer processes, and their interactions, whose complexity affects the accuracy of the results and computational time (3). Due to that, it is a topic that is still under investigation; a full review is given in the papers of Karim and Naser (4), Dernbecher et al ( 5), Bhuiyan et al ( 6), Khodaei et al (7) and García et al (8,9). Moving grate furnaces have been the most studied systems because they are widely used in industry (8); however, fixed bed systems of low power have gained popularity in recent years due to their low operating cost, simplicity and low requirements in terms of fuel preparation and transportation (7,10,11).…”

“…However, there are relatively few OpenFOAM-based models reported in the literature to study the combustion of solid biomass. Most of the studies of this subject are performed using the software ANSYS® (8,9). In order to contribute to the study of the combustion in panela furnaces, in the current work, a comprehensive two-dimensional numerical model was developed in OpenFOAM.…”

To develop biomass combustion as a viable renewable energy source it is necessary to improve the furnace efficiency and investigate the potential of agricultural wastes as fuels. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling is a valuable tool to accomplish these objectives, OpenFOAM is a powerful open-source CFD software that has been little used in this type of application. This paper reports the study of combustion in a device of great importance for Colombia, the panela furnace, using a model developed in OpenFOAM. The combustion chamber of a Ward-Cimpa furnace, measuring 2.68 m in width and 3.32 m in height was modeled. This model was validated, by comparing the simulated values of CO and temperature at the furnace exit with data taken from literature, resulting in differences of 13.72 % and 12.23 % respectively. These discrepancies are slightly lower than those reported in other studies about the subject. The model was employed to analyze the effect of the air-flow rate on the combustion performance. The findings indicate that the increase in air-flow causes an increase in combustion activity manifested in higher temperature and CO2 emissions, which could indicate that in common operational conditions, the furnace operates under deficient air conditions and its performance could be improve by using higher air flow rates.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the evolution of organizational identification (OI) research over the past five decades and its journey through various lenses, such as the collaborative network of authors, organizations and countries. The conceptual and intellectual structure of the construct is analysed via keywords and co-citation pattern mapping. Design/methodology/approach OI research is rising in popularity, with 118 papers published in 2019, 168 papers in 2020 and 15 publications till February 2021 in the Scopus database. The Scopus database is used to retrieve 55 years of OI studies published between 1965 and 2021. The free bibliometric tools Biblioshiny and VOSviewer are used to analyse 1,034 journal papers. Findings The result showed that R. Van Dick is the most influential author and the USA is the most involved country in OI research. As per the findings, the Journal of Organizational Behaviour published most of OI research and “corporate social responsibility” and “organizational commitment” seem to be the most used keywords alongside OI. Research limitations/implications This study will be highly beneficial to OI researchers making their understanding about the construct better. It will also encourage social psychologists to understand the construct utility in workplace social welfare programmes. The research could also help governments and funding bodies to evaluate grant requests. Furthermore, researchers from countries with the lowest proportion of OI studies would be encouraged to spend more time and effort in this area. It will offer insight into international marketing and how individuals and stakeholders perceive and connect with an organization globally. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the important research studies carried out in the domain of OI in the international context. This is also one of the few studies which is spread out across different disciplinary areas including international marketing and management. The success of this paper can open avenues and influence future researchers to study in the OI and related cross-disciplinary areas of international management.

Biomass Combustion Modeling Using OpenFOAM: Development of a Simple Computational Model and Study of the Combustion Performance of Lippia origanoides Bagasse

et al. 2023

Combustion is the most commonly used technology to produce energy from biomass; nevertheless, there are still thermal efficiency problems in current biomass combustion furnaces and a lack of knowledge about the properties of residual biomasses that could be used as fuels. Aiming to contribute to knowledge of the potential of residual biomass for energy generation, this work reports on the implementation of a 2D computational model to study the combustion performance of several solid biomass fuels, and its application in the analysis of Lippia origanoides bagasse combustion. The model uses an Eulerian–Lagrangian approach; in the continuous phase, governing equations are solved, and in the dispersed phase, particles are tracked and the mass, momentum, species and energy transfer between the phases are calculated. The model was validated against experimental data from a combustor fueled by three biomasses: wood pellets, olive stone and almond shell. The results show deviations of less than 13%, with few exceptions, which indicates a good degree of agreement with experimental measurements compared with those reported by other studies on the subject. Furthermore, it was found that the stems of Lippia origanoides bagasse show similar performance to that of other biomass used as solid fuel, while the leaves present lower performance.
