An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

The research progress in polyethylene oxide polymer electrolytes

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) has become the mainstream matrix material for solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) due to its excellent lithium salt complexation ability and processability. However, its high crystallinity results in low ionic conductivity at room temperature and difficulty in suppressing lithium dendrite growth, which significantly hinders the ...

The Illusion of Structural Order: Evaluating the Suppression of Amorphous Carbon Black Pigment Bands in SSE‐Processed Handheld Raman Spectra

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
The handheld Raman with SSE system efficiently mitigates fluorescence; however, it may also bias the Raman response towards graphitic domains in carbon‐based black pigments, thereby concealing amorphous carbon contributions that are critical for pigment type identification.

Flame‐Assisted Modification of Glass Wettability: Preliminary Results

Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fog formation and moisture condensation limit the performance of glass surfaces in optical, microfluidic, and sensing applications, where stable transparency under humid conditions is essential. Enhancing surface wettability represents an effective strategy to mitigate these effects; therefore, the development of methods to tailor glass ...

Oxide Scale Morphology of Carbon Steels Under Novel Reheating Conditions

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study focuses on the changes in oxide scale morphology formed under simulated hydrogen and oxy‐fuel reheating gas atmospheres in comparison to natural gas‐air reheating. Several different properties were analyzed, such as pore structure, ratios of iron oxides, adhesion, and distribution of alloying elements.
