The present invention relates to a process and an apparatus for utilizing fossil energy with low carbon emissions, which belongs to a technical field of clean energy and climate mitigation. The present invention is applicable for utilizing fossil, biomass and other carbon-containing fuels in coastal and marine areas to produce clean energy with low carbon emissions to atmosphere and low cost. The process comprises the main steps of carrying out the oxygen enriched combustion and using seawater to scrub the flue gas once to realize carbon capture, and the scrubbing water is recovered to a water quality in accordance with legal requirements and then is discharged into the ocean to realize carbon storage of ocean natural alkalinity, so that the resources of carbon sink and carbon pool in natural ocean are used to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in a safe and environment-friendly form.

A combustor includes an outer cylinder, a combustor liner, a plurality of main nozzles, an air flow channel part, and a plurality of water injection parts. The air flow channel part sends air introduced from an outside to between an inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder and an outer peripheral surface of the combustor liner into the combustor liner. The plurality of water injection parts are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder at intervals in a circumferential direction around a central axis. The plurality of water injection parts inject water into the air flowing through the air flow channel part. The water injection part includes a first nozzle and a second nozzle. The first nozzle injects water to a first side in the circumferential direction. The second nozzle injects water to a second side in the circumferential direction.

There is described a method of using a feedstock gas reactor. Reaction of feedstock and combustion gases in the reactor produces hydrogen through pyrolysis of the feedstock gas. At least some of a mixed product stream extracted from the reactor may be recycled to the reactor to drive further pyrolysis of the feedstock gas. A portion of the recycled mixed product stream may be recirculated back to a combustion chamber of the reactor, and a portion of the recycled mixed product stream may be recirculated back to a reaction chamber of the reactor.

A shaft furnace for firing carbonate-containing material may include, in a flow direction of the material, a preheating zone, a firing zone, a cooling zone, and a material outlet for discharging the material from the shaft furnace. Burner lances project into the firing zone. At least one burner lance has a first penetration depth into the firing zone and at least one further burner lance has a second penetration depth into the firing zone that is greater than the first penetration depth. A primary air conduit may be configured to convey combustion air and may be connected to at least one burner lance. An oxygen conduit for conveying oxygen into the firing zone may be arranged such that oxygen flows from the oxygen conduit at least one burner lance having the second penetration depth.

The present invention provides methods and system for power generation using a high efficiency combustor in combination with a CO.sub.2 circulating fluid. The methods and systems advantageously can make use of a low pressure ratio power turbine and an economizer heat exchanger in specific embodiments. Additional low grade heat from an external source can be used to provide part of an amount of heat needed for heating the recycle CO.sub.2 circulating fluid. Fuel derived CO.sub.2 can be captured and delivered at pipeline pressure. Other impurities can be captured.

A liquid rocket engine cools a thruster body by pumping propellant through cooling channels integrated in the thruster body between internal and external surfaces. One or more of the cooling channel surfaces has a variable depth along a thrust axis to mix propellant flow and destroy thermal stratification, such as a depth that varies with a repeated contiguous sinusoidal form along the thrust axis. Fuel passed through the cooling channels injects from the combustion chamber wall towards a central portion of the combustion chamber to cross impinge with oxygen injected at the combustion chamber head so that a toroidal vortex forms to enhance propellant mixing.
