Influence of Particle Size, Moisture, and Cloud Density on Wood Dust Ignition

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
The ignition and combustion of particle clouds are strongly affected by particle interactions. This study uses spectroscopy to examine effects of particle size, water content, and cloud density. Results show ignition delay rises with larger size and density, whereas combustion duration depends mainly on water and density due to moisture‐driven ...

Design of an 8‐Channel Transmit 32‐Channel Receive 11.7T Head Coil and Evaluation of SNR Gains

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To design and develop an 8‐channel transmit 32‐channel receive 11.7T head coil for the strongest human MRI scanner to date, demonstrate safety, and evaluate signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) gains compared to 7T, the most used ultra‐high‐field (UHF) platform.

Measurement of Fuel Concentration Profile at Leading Edge of Lifted Flame with Acetone Laser-Induced Fluorescence

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2009
This is a study of the leading-edge characteristics of a methane-air triple flame. Few experiment results are available for physical examination of such characteristics, so further experimental investigations are strongly needed to understand the ...

The role of mesoscale weather effects in simulating pyroconvection: A case study of the Santa Coloma de Queralt wildfire

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This large‐eddy simulation study on pyroconvection shows that the added value from resolving the mesoscale explicitly is found in the timing of pyrocumulus formation and circulation changes. The circulation of the convective plume itself is not substantially different between the simulations. Abstract Extreme wildfire events are characterised by strong

Flamelet/progress variable modelling of turbulent non-premixed cool flames of dimethyl-ether/methane mixtures

Green Energy and Resources
In present work, the turbulent non-premixed cool flames of dimethyl-ether (DME)/methane mixtures are studied within the framework of flamelet/progress variable modelling and chemical kinetic analyses.

Fire Testing and Hazard Assessment for Flame Retardant Polymer Composites

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Flame retardant polymer composites are now being evaluated with more than pass or fail flammability tests. Heat release, smoke, toxicity, and system‐level behavior are receiving more attention, and multi‐scale methods are being used to describe fire hazard under more realistic conditions.

Effect of Pressure, Environment Temperature, Jet Velocity and Nitrogen Dilution on the Liftoff Characteristics of a N2-in-H2 Jet Flame in a Vitiated Co-flow

Eurasian Chemico-Technological Journal, 2014
The CO2 emission prevention advantage of generating power with high hydrogen content fuels using gas turbines motivates an improved understanding of the ignition behavior of hydrogen in premixed and partially premixed environments.

Pre‐failure behavior of continuous post‐tensioned and post‐grouted beam in case of tendon failure

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Grouted tendons are a common solution for long‐span bridge structures. The grout provides bond and corrosion protection for prestressing steel. However, if the grouting is defective, corrosion of the prestressing steel may initiate and eventually lead to tendon failure.

Assessment of implementation variants of conditional scalar dissipation rate in LES-CMC simulation of auto-ignition of hydrogen jet

Archives of Mechanics, 2013
In this paper the large eddy simulation (LES) and conditional moment closure (CMC) combustion model have been applied for modelling of auto-ignition of hydrogen jet issuing into a hot ambient co-flow.

Investigation of the Evolution Mechanism and Multiphysics Coupling in Tree‐Contact Single‐Phase‐to‐Ground Fault

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tree‐contact single‐phase‐to‐ground fault (TSF) is a common and hazardous type of failure in distribution networks. TSF is likely to occur when overhead conductors contact moist tree branches, potentially leading to insulation breakdown, posing serious threats to grid safety.
