RISAn Experimental Examination of the Spontaneous Ignition of Fibrous Materials in Heated Air Streams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The behavior of a bed of fibrous combustile material, exemplified by pure cotton (ASTM, 1982), when subjected to a controlled stream of heated air, was examined experimentally. The effects of ...
High-Pressure Ignition of Oil Sands Samples in Oxygen Atmospheres Containing Various Concentrations of Diluents
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In-situ recovery of oil from oil sands deposits by combustion requires the injection of vast quantities of oxygen into the bed of deposits. Accordingly, there is a need to establish the ...
Volatilization and Ignition of Oil Sand Samples During Intermittent Exposure to Hot Low-Velocity Air Streams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The behavior of small oil sand samples was monitored experimentally when subjected repeatedly to low-velocity heated air streams, with either prompt quenching or slow cooling of the samples to ...
Kinetic Model for the Remediation of Soils Contaminated with Hydrocarbons Using Low-Temperature Oxidation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a kinetic model for the remediation of soils contaminated with hydrocarbons by low-temperature oxidation (LTO). The oxidation of hydrocarbons, which consist of a mixture of straight chained, branched ...
