Book Radiation and Mixing Properties of Buoyant Turbulent Diffusion Flames

Download or read book Radiation and Mixing Properties of Buoyant Turbulent Diffusion Flames written by Z. Dai and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two aspects of unwanted fires were considered: (1) the optical properties of soot in the fuel-lean region of buoyant turbulent diffusion flames, and (2) the structure and mixing properties of buoyant turbulent plumes. The scattering, absorption and extinction properties of soot were measured for conditions where soot structure was known from earlier transmission electron microscopy measurements. The measurements were compared with predictions based on the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans (RDG) scattering approximation for polydisperse fractal aggregates.

Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to understanding combustion, the burning of a substance that produces heat and often light, in microgravity environments-i.e., environments with very low gravity such as outer space. Readers are presented with a compilation of worldwide findings from fifteen years of research and experimental tests in various low-gravity environments, including drop towers, aircraft, and space.Microgravity Combustion is unique in that no other book reviews low- gravity combustion research in such a comprehensive manner. It provides an excellent introduction for those researching in the fields of combustion, aerospace, and fluid and thermal sciences. * An introduction to the progress made in understanding combustion in a microgravity environment* Experimental, theoretical and computational findings of current combustion research* Tutorial concepts, such as scaling analysis* Worldwide microgravity research findings

Book Soot in Combustion Systems and Its Toxic Properties

Download or read book Soot in Combustion Systems and Its Toxic Properties written by J. Lahaye and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our interest in Mulhouse for carbon black and soot began some 30 years ago when J.B. Donnet developed the concept of surface chemistry of carbon and its involvement in interactions with gas, liquid and solid phases. In the late sixties, we began to study soot formation in pyrolytic systems and later on in flames. The idea of organ1z1ng a meeting on soot formation originated some four or five years ago, through discussions among Professor J.B. Howard, Dr. A. D'Alessio and ourselves. At that time the scientific community was becoming aware of the necessity to strictly control soot formation and emission. Being involved in the study of surface properties of carbon black as well as of formation of soot, we realized that the combustion community was not always fully aware of the progress made by the physical-chemists on carbon black. Reciprocally, the carbon specialists were often ignoring the research carried out on soot in flames. One objective of this workshop was to stimulate discussions between these two scientific communities. During the preparation of the meeting, and especially during the review process by the Material Science Committee of the Scientific Affairs Division of N.A.T.O. the toxicological aspect emerged as being an important component to be addressed during the workshop. To reflect these preoccupations we invited biologists, physical chemists and engineers, all leaders in their field. The final programme is a compromise of the different aspects of the subject and was divided in five sessions.

Book Radiation from Turbulent Nonluminous and Luminous Diffusion Flames

Download or read book Radiation from Turbulent Nonluminous and Luminous Diffusion Flames written by United States. National Bureau of Standards and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theoretical and experimental study of the structure and radiation properties of turbulent buoyant diffusion flames is described. The results have application to modeling fires within structures, materials test methods, fire detection, and effects of materials on fire properties. The investigation consists of two phases, as follows: study of effects of turbulence/radiation interactions, considering the properties of nonluminous hydrogen/air diffusion flames; and study of extension of the laminar flamelet concept to soot properties needed to predict radiation from luminous acetylene/air and ethylene/air turbulent diffusion flames. Theory and experiment are considered in both phases of the investigation. Measurements in turbulent hydrogen/air diffusion flames yielded radiation fluctuation intensities of 20-110 percent, providing direct evidence of the importance of turbulence/radiation interactions. A stochastic analysis, based on the laminar flamelet concept, was developed which provided encouraging predictions of mean and fluctuating spectral radiation intensities (average discrepancies between predictions and measurements were roughly 30 percent), as well as temporal power spectral densities of radiation fluctuations. The temporal spectra exhibit energy-containing and inertial regions, very similar to other turbulence properties, although the rate of decay of the spectra with increasing frequency in the inertial region is somewhat greater than observed for scalar fluctuations. Measurements and predictions in the turbulent luminous flames concentrated on scalar properties (particularly soot volume fractions) in the overfire region. Predictions of scalar properties based on the laminar flamelet concept were very encouraging. Direct evaluation of soot volume fraction state relationships for the overfire region was hampered by effects of turbulent fluctuations and experimental uncertainties; nevertheless, within these limitations, soot volume fraction state relationships were nearly universal, and soot generation efficiencies nearly constant, for sufficiently long residence times. However, effects of finite-rate chemistry were noted for short residence time ethylene/air flames, causing spatial variations of soot generation efficiencies in the overfire region. For long residence times, present measurements of soot generation efficiencies were in reasonably good agreement with earlier findings for acetylene/air and ethylene/air diffusion flames.
