Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.A one‐step gas‐phase synthesis directly assembles amorphous Si nanoparticles with few‐layer graphene heterostructures via in‐flight mixing. Compositions with only 15 wt.% FLG deliver ~2800 mAh g−1 (Si + FLG) at 0.05 C and retain ~1400 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles at a high cycling rate of 1 C, enabled by a percolated, strain‐buffering graphene network that

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.A smart gel electrolyte with thermal shutdown capability has been proposed enabled by a two‐step cross‐linking strategy, which preserves a high density of unreacted double bonds at room temperature. This strategy brings negligible degradation to room temperature electrochemical performance, while under thermal abuse conditions above 115 °C, the gel ...

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

A Novel Approach to Power Circuit Breaker Design for Replacement of SF6
Acta Polytechnica, 2004 This contribution explores the role of PTFE ablation in enhancing current interruption for various background gases in high voltage circuit breakers. An assessment of the current interruption capability has been made in terms of the arcing duration and ...

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This study investigates how iron particles burn across a wide size range, revealing late‐stage nanoparticle release and a previously unrecognised shift in combustion behaviour near 118 µm. High‐speed imaging, PMT diagnostics and SEM analyses have been conducted.

Charring Behaviour of Mass Timber: A Comparison of Thin Intumescent Coatings and Plasterboard
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study compares the charring behaviour of mass timber under varied heating conditions when protected by either different thin intumescent coating types or fire‐rated plasterboard layers. Bench‐scale fire experiments were conducted using the Heat‐Transfer Rate Inducing System (H‐TRIS).

Effect of HBr on Explosion Limits of Stoichiometric Hydrogen‐oxygen Mixture
International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This work, based on numerical simulations, discusses the effect of HBr as an inhibitor on the explosion limit of stoichiometric hydrogen‐oxygen gas mixture in a closed spherical vessel. The numerical simulation solves the complete governing equations for mass, momentum, species and energy.
