(2018-06-18)Organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) have significant fire suppression capabilities but are not well understood. Chemical kinetics mechanisms can provide invaluable information about how OPCs suppress flames; however, the ...
-
(2012-10-19)Research with heterogeneous mixtures involving solid particulate in closed, constant-volume bombs is typically limited by the powder dispersion technique. This work details the development of an experimental apparatus that ...
-
(2013-07-30)After the restriction of different halogenated fire suppressants by the Montreal Protocol, there is an urgent need to identify environmentally friendlier alternatives. In particular, several efforts have been conducted ...
-
(2013-07-29)Over the past years, catastrophic dust explosion incidents have caused numerous injuries, fatalities and economical losses. Dust explosions are rapid exothermic reactions that take place when a combustible dust is mixed ...
-
(2014-12-12)An existing flame speed bomb, which uses optical techniques to measure laminar flame speed, was employed to study the fundamental phenomena of flame propagation through a uniformly dispersed aerosol. In a previous thesis ...
-
(2013-05-30)To ensure safety regarding dust explosion hazards, it is important to study the dust lifting process experimentally and identify important parameters that will be valuable for development and validation of numerical ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The characteristics of liquid and solid aerosols have been intensively investigated by means of optical diagnostic techniques. Part I describes the characteristics of liquid aerosol formation formed by heat transfer fluids ...
