Synergistic Effects of Fuel Components on Aromatics Formation in Combustion: A Review
Applied SciencesAromatics, especially polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are important combustion pollutants known to be carcinogenic and mutagenic and are also precursors of soot and, consequently, combustion-generated particulate matters that can significantly ...

Carbon deposition model for oxygen-hydrocarbon combustion. Task 6: Data analysis and formulation of an empirical model [PDF]
The formation and deposition of carbon (soot) was studied in the Carbon Deposition Model for Oxygen-Hydrocarbon Combustion Program. An empirical, 1-D model for predicting soot formation and deposition in LO2/hydrocarbon gas generators/preburners was ...

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall
Fire and Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.
