Experimental Investigation and ANN‐Based Prediction of CI Engine Performance Fueled With Waste Plastic Oil–Diesel Blends Containing Al2O3 Nanoparticles

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Waste plastic oil–diesel blends enhanced with Al2O3 nanoparticles were experimentally evaluated in a compression ignition engine under varying injection timings and modeled using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The optimized WP20PD + 1000 ppm blend improved brake thermal efficiency and reduced fuel consumption, while ANN prediction achieved high ...

Multi‐Objective RSM Optimization of Emission and Performance Characteristics in a Diesel Engine Fueled With BaTiO3 Nano‐Enhanced Jojoba Biodiesel

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study uses response surface methodology to optimize Jojoba biodiesel blended with BaTiO3 nanoparticles in a single‐cylinder diesel engine. Results show that ~48.95–51.31 ppm of BaTiO3 achieves balanced performance and emission, decreasing CO and NOx while increasing torque and brake thermal efficiency.

Triggered Calcium Lightning Programs Cochlear Development

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Summary: Before the onset of hearing, the developing inner ear generates spontaneous calcium signals that are thought to guide maturation. In this study, we discovered a rapid and widespread calcium flash—dubbed “Ca2+ lightning”—originating from supporting cells beneath the sensory hair cells, which triggers coordinated calcium waves across the entire ...

Effect of Ammonium Polyphosphate/Silicate Content on the Postfire Mechanics of Epoxy Glass‐Fiber Composites Using Facile Chocolate Bar‐Inspired Structures

open access: yesFire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 329-346, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the postfire mechanical properties of epoxy glass‐fiber reinforced composites (EP GFRCs) using increasing concentrations of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and inorganic silicate (InSi) to modify the char and fire residue.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall

open access: yesFire 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.

Charring Behaviour of Mass Timber: A Comparison of Thin Intumescent Coatings and Plasterboard

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study compares the charring behaviour of mass timber under varied heating conditions when protected by either different thin intumescent coating types or fire‐rated plasterboard layers. Bench‐scale fire experiments were conducted using the Heat‐Transfer Rate Inducing System (H‐TRIS).

Flammability of Facades Across Scales and International Standards

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facade fires are a rare but destructive hazard that can lead to the rapid spread of fire between the floors and fire compartments of a building. Today, there are at least 21 different national standards for facade fire tests in use around the world, which seek to categorize facades based on their flammability.
