Summary The interactions of Calcium carbonate (e.g., eggshell powder) and Lignin with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) when used as fire retardants were investigated. Three mixing ratios ‐ 1:3, 1:1, and 3:1, were used with natural fibre reinforced composites containing a hemp mat and an epoxy matrix manufactured using a light resin transfer moulding (L‐RTM)

Investigate auto-ignition of stoichiometric methane-air mixture [PDF]
Auto-ignition process of stoichiometric mixture of methane-air is investigated using detailed chemical kinetics in a single-zone combustion chamber. Effect of initial temperature on start of combustion (SOC). The Arrhenius expression for the specific reaction rate are calculated and auto-ignition was evaluated based on the species fractions and ...
