... for different concurrent air velocities predicted using the model are quite close to the experimental data available in the literature. As the air velocity is increased, the fuel consumption rate increases and aids in faster flame spread process. The flame initially anchors around the leading edge of the pool...

...Francesco Miccio; Fabrizio Scala; Riccardo Chirone In the present work the efficiency of the fluidized bed combustion (FBC) of high-volatile fuels and the extent of volatile matter post-combustion in the splashing zone and freeboard are investigated. A typical Mediterranean biomass (pine-seed...

...Achintya Mukhopadhyay; Dipankar Sanyal An algorithm for solution of a model for heating and evaporation of a fuel droplet has been developed. The objective of the work is to develop a computationally economic solution module for simulating droplet evaporation that can be incorporated in spray...

...S. S. Sazhin; W. A. Abdelghaffar; E. M. Sazhina; S. V. Mikhalovsky; S. T. Meikle; C. Bai Absorption spectra of four types of diesel fuel are studied experimentally in the range between 0.2 μm and 6 μm. The ageing process of fuels is simulated by prolonged boiling. The average absorption efficiency...
