Measurement of temperature, fuel concentration and equivalence ratio fields using tracer LIF in IC engine combustion
(Springer-Verlag, 2000-11)
A technique based on planar laser-induced fluorescence of 3-pentanone, for measurements of absolute concentration, temperature and fuel/air equivalence ratios in turbulent, high-pressure combustion systems such as an ...
A fully implicit method for diffusion-controlled solidification of binary alloys
(Elsevier, 1992-05)
A recently developed numerical method for single-component phase-change problems is extended to treat some existing multi-domain models for diffusion-controlled solidification of binary alloys. The multi-domain models ...
Radiation-affected laminar flame propagation
(Elsevier, 1982)
Increased laminar flame thickness and flame speed under the influence of radiation is shown in terms of an original heat transfer number where is the weighted nongreyness, [kappa]p and [kappa]R are the Planck mean and ...
Thermal destratification in a cylindrical packed bed
(Elsevier, 1992-03)
Thermal destratification was observed in a cylindrical packed bed 62 cm high and 37.5 cm in diameter filled with 12.6 mm diameter glass spheres and saturated with air. The boundaries were impermeable and covered with 10.2 ...
Radiative entropy production--lost heat into entropy
(Elsevier, 1987-10)
Heat flow [delta]Q of the First Law of Thermodynamics is expressed in terms of the entropy flow [delta](Q/T)[delta]Q [triple bond] [delta][T(Q/T)] = T[delta](Q/T)+(Q/T)dT where T[delta](Q/T) denotes the energy equivalent ...
Evolution and impingement of an automotive fuel spray investigated with simultaneous Mie/LIF techniques
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-07)
The spatial and temporal evolution of an automotive hollow-cone-type spray was investigated with laser-based imaging diagnostics. Optical conditions of an IC engine were emulated with a test cell that was built from an ...
Buoyancy-driven turbulent diffusion flames
(Elsevier, 1991-08)
A fundamental dimensionless number for pool fires, , in proposed. Here [sigma][beta] and Ra[beta] denote a flame Schmidt number and a flame Rayleigh number. The sublayer thickness of a turbulent pool fire, [eta][beta], is ...
Spark ignition of propane-air mixtures near the minimum ignition energy: Part II. A model development
(Elsevier, 1991-01)
A model is developed to simulate the kernel growth observed in the exprimental study of Part I. Kernel growth, described as a two-step process, initially involves a blast wave over a negligible short time followed by a ...
Purging of density stabilized basins
(Elsevier, 1993-01)
A combined laboratory and numerical investigation of the purging of density stabilized basins has been undertaken. The laboratory investigation was carried out in a flume into which a false floor containing a cavity filled ...
Unsteady flow in rotating drums using laser Doppler velocimetry
(Springer-Verlag, 1988-01)
Non-destructive measurements by laser Doppler velocimetry is employed to study unsteady flow in a hollow drum filled with liquid. The drum is suddenly accelerated from rest or is suddenly decelerated from a steady rotation ...
