Abstract: Ethanol alternating current (AC)-manipulated electrosprays were investigated for a frequency range of 0.1–10  kHz; applied RMS voltages 3, 4, 5, and 6 kV RMS; and flowrates 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25  mL/h with the purpose ...

Abstract: Combustion characteristics of pulverized coal were studied in a methane jet that entrained pulverized coal particles using the Venturi effect. The dependence of entrainment rate on the size of coal particles was studied ...

Abstract: Electrosprays of ethanol, 1-propanol and 1-butanol were studied experimentally at flow rates ranging from 5 to 25  mL/h, and voltages ranging from 3 to 6 kV, spraying along and against the direction of gravity. To ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of premixed propane-air flames propagating in long, narrow tubes open at both ends was performed in order to establish flame phenomenology and make comparisons to theoretical predictions. ...

Abstract: Butanol isomer diffusion flames were studied experimentally in a counterflow burner configuration with an emphasis on establishing a difference in extinction strain rate among three fuels with practically identical ...

Abstract: Butanol produced from agricultural sources is emerging as a potentially renewable biofuel for use in engine applications. In this work, butanol electrostatic sprays were established within a narrow region of low flow rates. ...

Abstract: This paper examines the influence of wall reactions on the generation of the explosive time scale that characterizes ignition delay around the third explosion limit of a stoichiometric H2/air homogeneous mixture. The only ...
