A Shock‐Tube Study of the HCl + M →$\to $ H + Cl + M (M = Ar) Rate Constant Using HCl Laser Absorption Near 3.3 µm

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen chlorine (HCl) is an important combustion intermediate during plastic (municipal waste) and composite propellant (aerospace) combustion, but the understanding of its high‐temperature chemistry is still evolving. In this study, the pyrolysis of 0.5% HCl in Ar was investigated behind reflected shock waves in a shock tube at temperatures

Effect of HBr on Explosion Limits of Stoichiometric Hydrogen‐oxygen Mixture

open access: yesInternational 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.

Flame‐Assisted Modification of Glass Wettability: Preliminary Results

open access: yesMacromolecular 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 ...

Numerical Simulation of Laminar and Turbulent Methane/Air Flames Based on a DRG-Derived Skeletal Mechanism

open access: yesEurasian Chemico-Technological Journal, 2020
Simulation of turbulent flames using detailed chemical mechanisms is still a challenge in numerical combustion due to the large number of species and the stiffness of the system of governing equations.

Influence of chemical kinetics on spontaneous waves and detonation initiation in highly reactive and low reactive mixtures

open access: yes, 2018
Understanding the mechanisms of explosions is important for minimizing devastating hazards. Due to the complexity of real chemistry, a single-step reaction mechanism is usually used for theoretical and numerical studies.

The Role of Cold Atmospheric Plasma in Surface Modification and Adhesion Behavior of Polypropylene/Flax Biocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effects of plasma surface treatment on adhesive bonding of PP/flax biocomposites. ABSTRACT The emphasis on environmental sustainability has accelerated the adoption of biocomposites as alternatives to synthetic composites. However, their low surface energy may limit adhesion in bonding applications.
