Lateral Flame Spread Over Thermally Thin Fuels: Theoretical Prediction of Flame Spread Rate and Experimental Validation

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract Flame spread over solid fuel is a fundamental problem in fire safety science. Although it has been studied in different orientations – downward, upward, horizontal, and lateral – closed-form formula for predicting the flame spread rate is only available for opposed-flow configuration and has been experimentally verified in ...

Upward Flame Spread over Discrete Fuels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Upward flame spread over discrete fuels has been analyzed through experimental research on vertical arrays of alternating lengths of PMMA and insulation. By manipulating the lengths of the PMMA fuel and the insulation, several important trends related to

Performance Analysis of Abradable Coating Systems for Aircraft Gas Turbines

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Three CoNiCrAlY/YSZ/MgAl2O4 abradable liner configurations on a nickel‐superalloy are evaluated by thermal‐gradient cycling and incursion tests. Laser ablation of the bondcoat and/or Y2O3‐stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) intermediate layer increases mechanical interlocking and bonding for thick topcoats.

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Critical Criterion for Flame Spread Acceleration of Concave Surfaces with Different Curvatures

open access: yesFire
Concave surface is a common geometry in both industrial buildings and natural environments; the flame spread behaviors on this special surface are worth studying, while few studies have been completed yet.

Electrochemical Behavior of Flame‐Sprayed Sc‐Doped AlCoCrFeMo High‐Entropy Alloy Coatings in 3.5% Sodium Chloride Solution

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Scandium (Sc)‐doped AlCoCrFeMo HEA coatings are fabricated via flame spraying with 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt% Sc additions. Among these, the HEA‐Sc0.3 coating exhibits the highest corrosion resistance, indicated by a more positive corrosion potential and lower current density.

A Comparison of Flame Spread Characteristics over Solids in Concurrent Flow Using Two Different Pyrolysis Models

open access: yesJournal of Combustion, 2011
Two solid pyrolysis models are employed in a concurrent-flow flame spread model to compare the flame structure and spreading characteristics. The first is a zeroth-order surface pyrolysis, and the second is a first-order in-depth pyrolysis.

The Transition and Spread of a Chaparral Crown Fire: Insights from Laboratory Scale Wind Tunnel Experiments

open access: yesJournal of Combustion, 2022
Fire occurring in the chaparral behaves as a crown fire, a dual-layer fire that typically ignites in a dead surface fuel layer and transitions to an elevated live crown layer where it continues to spread.

Experimental study on flame spread characteristics of double PE-insulated wires with different spacing distances

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022
In this paper, three types (typeⅠ, type Ⅱand type III) of polyethylene-insulated wires with copper core diameters of 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm and thickness of polyethylene of 2 mm respectively, were used to research the flame spread of double wires with ...
