Radiation and Mixing Properties of Buoyant Turbulent Diffusion Flames


Book Description

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.







Structure and Optical Properties of Soot


Book Description

Measured soot optical properties were in good agreement with the predictions of RDG-PFA theory over a broad test range, as follows: soot from both the fuel-rich and fuel-lean regions of buoyant diffusion flames, wavelengths of 350-800 nm, primary particle size parameters as large as 0.46, and soot formed in diffusion flames burning in air for a variety of gaseous and liqud hydrocarbon fuels (acetylene, ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, cyclohexane, toluene and n-heptane).




Transport Phenomena In Combustion


Book Description

This two-volume set presents the proceedings from the 8th International Symposium on Transport Phenomena in Combustion. There are more than 150 chapters that provide an extensive review of topics such as complete numerical simulation of combustion and heat transfer in furnaces and boilers, the interaction of combustion and heat transfer in porous media for low emission, high efficiency applications, industrial combustion technology, experimental and diagnostic methods and active combustion control, and fire research, internal combustion engine, Nox and soot emission.




Applied Combustion Diagnostics


Book Description

The editors have assembled a world-class group of contributors who address the questions the combustion diagnostic community faces. They are chemists who identify the species to be measured and the interfering substances that may be present; physicists, who push the limits of laser spectroscopy and laser devices and who conceive suitable measurement schemes; and engineers, who know combustion systems and processes. This book assists in providing guidance for the planning of combustion experiments, in judging research strategies and in conceiving new ideas for combustion research. It provides a snapshot of the available diagnostic methods and thier typical applications from the perspective of leading experts in the field.




Springer Series in Light Scattering


Book Description

The book aims to the description of recent progress in studies of light absorption and scattering in turbid media. In particular, light scattering/oceanic optics/snow optics research community will greatly benefit from the publication of this book.​
