RISCombustion in Gas Fueled Compression: Ignition Engines of the Dual Fuel Type
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the dual fuel engine much of the energy release comes from the combustion of the gaseous fuel while only a small amount of diesel liquid fuel provides ignition through timed cylinder ...
Flame Propagation Through Atmospheres Involving Concentration Gradients Formed by Mass Transfer Phenomena
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The purpose of the present work is to establish experimentally the nature of the phenomena and the rate of fire spread through explosive media involving concentration gradients in a fuel-air ...
Formation of Flammable Zones Due to the Action of Diffusional Mass Transfer—A Simplified Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The transient concentration profiles of a fuel or a toxic gas were examined following its release into air within a long confined volume with either an open or a closed end. The exact ...
An Experimental Investigation of the Transport and Combustion Processes Within Fractured Oil Sand Beds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The behavior of fractured beds of light oil (37° API) sand cores when subjected to high-temperature, low-velocity vitiated air stream of the combustion products of near-lean flammability ...
Flame Propagation and Lean-Limit Extinction Within Stratified Mixtures Involving a Diluent Gas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flame propagation within confined, stratified gaseous environments were investigated experimentally. The diluents nitrogen and helium were used in turn to overlay initially combustible methane-air ...
An Analytical Examination of the Behavior of Oil Sand Fragments in Heated Streams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The physical and chemical processes that occur typically within and around an oil sand fragment are considered when the fragment is suddenly introduced into a hot, low-uniform velocity, gaseous ...
Experimental Study of Self-Ignition and Smoldering of Moist Cellulosic Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The self-ignition and smoldering characteristics of cellulosic materials, as exemplified by cotton fibers, when subjected to convective low-velocity heated air stream were studied experimentally at ...
A Predictive Approach for the Flammability Limits of Methane-Nitrogen Mixtures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present contribution describes a relatively simple procedure for predicting the lean and rich flammability limits of methane-nitrogen mixtures in air from a knowledge of the composition of ...
Modeling of the Combustion Process in a Dual Fuel Direct Injection Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Analytical methods to provide a guideline for predicting the limit for acceptable power output of dual fuel engines due to the onset of autoignition and knock are described. This is achieved ...
The Diffusivity of Methane Into Air Within Vertical Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimentally based effective diffusivity for methane is derived. Its application for predicting the concentration changes following the release of methane upwards into air at constant temperature ...
