Numerical investigation of forced ignition in laminar counterflow non-premixed methane-air flames
, 2007 Simulations of forced ignition of non-premixed laminar counterflow flames are used to study the effect of strain rate on ignition success. A one dimensional calculation is performed, using detailed methane chemical kinetics and treating the spark as an ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.

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).

NTECARS: A Nonthermal Equilibrium CARS Spectra Fitting Code
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.We present NTECARS, an open‐source code written in Julia for the calculation and fitting of CARS spectra under nonequilibrium conditions. Rovibrational distributions can be flexibly modeled and fitted for different use cases. The code currently implements CO2$$ \mathrm{C}{\mathrm{O}}_2 $$ and N2$$ {\mathrm{N}}_2 $$ molecules and is validated under ...

Kinetic modelling of Biofuels: Pyrolysis and Auto-Ignition of Aldehydes
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2014 Aldehydes are involved in practically all the oxidation processes of solid and liquid fuels, and they are of concern as pollutants from different combustion systems such as conventional spark-ignition gasoline engines and compression-ignition diesel engines. In the case of biofuel combustion, aldehydes are not only pollutants whose emissions have to be

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.
