  2. 1. Limiting conditions for a sustained flame over condensed fuels : Analysis by experiments and stagnant layer theory

    Author : Frida Vermina Plathner; Avdelningen för Brandteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Critical mass flux; diffusion flame; extinction; sustained ignition; chemical heat of combustion; Convective heat transfer coefficient; external heat flux;

    Abstract : Ignition and extinction characteristics of a material determine whether a fire will be initiated and grow. In fire safety engineering, where modellers deal with a multitude of materials, simplified thresholds are commonly used to determine when ignition and extinction occur. READ MORE

  4. 2. Multi-Dimensional Quantitative Laser-based Diagnostics - Development and Practial Applications

    Author : Rikard Wellander; Förbränningsfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Post injection; Structured illumination; Mie scattering; Dense sprays; Extinction coefficient; Signal attenuation; Laser extinction; Multiple scattering; Scattering measurements; Planar laser induced fluorescence; Time resolved; Imaging through turbulent media; Three-dimensional image acquisition; Diesel particulate filter regeneration; Wall impingent; Biodiesel; LII; Large-bore gas Engine; Pre-chamber ignition; Fysicumarkivet A:2014:Wellander;

    Abstract : Laser based optical diagnostic methods are routinely used in combustion research. Many of the more common approaches are based on illuminating a cross-section of the sample with a thin laser sheet. For example, by targeting an electronic transition in a molecule, its concentration within the plane illuminated by the laser sheet can be deduced. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies on Diesel sprays under non-reacting and reacting conditions

    Author : Chengjun Du; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; diffusion flame; OH radical; ethanol; spray vaporization; soot formation; cavitation; turbulent; OH* chemiluminescence; laser extinction; LAS; Diesel sprays;

    Abstract : Methods for reducing engine-out emissions are urgently needed to mitigate climate change and air pollution. In diesel engines, the quality of fuel-air mixing and the subsequent combustion process strongly affect fuel efficiency and engine-out emissions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Optical Diagnostics of Soot in Combusting Sprays

    Author : Raul Lima Ochoterena; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optical diagnostics.; Laser Induced Incandescence LII ; Elastic Light Scattering ELS ; Soot formation; Flame temperature; Spray combustion; Light Extinction LE ;

    Abstract : Optical diagnostics in combusting diesel sprays were carried out in the Chalmers High Pressure, High Temperature (HP/HT) spray rig at conditions similar to those in an internal combustion engine, reaching up to 100 bar and 630 ◦ C. Spray development studies and combustion characterisation were done by high speed shadowgraphs that were digitally processed to measure the start of combustion, break-up, droplets and vapour penetration.
