Flame Spreading on Gelled JP-4 Pool

A Practical Model on Flame Spreading over Materials

Flame spreading is a very important phenomenon in the hazard assessment for fire, which is a key element in providing fire safety in buildings with engineering performance-based fire codes. A mathematical model is presented in this paper to predict the flame spreading of materials using the experimental data from cone calorimeter. Numerical prediction of the flame front position and flame sprea...

Effects of Co-Exposure to Noise and JP-4 Jet Fuel on Hearing Loss in Rats

Background and Aim: Autotoxic substances such as JP-4 jet fuel can have negative effects on the auditory system by the various means such as cochlear dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the combined effects of exposure to JP-4 jet fuel and noise on hearing loss in rats, to determine the possible interference effects of these two risk factors on rat auditory system. Methods...

Thermonuclear Flame Spreading on Rapidly Spinning Neutron Stars: Indications of the Coriolis Force?

Millisecond period brightness oscillations during the intensity rise of thermonuclear X-ray bursts are likely caused by an azimuthally asymmetric, expanding burning region on the stellar surface. The time evolution of the oscillation amplitude during the intensity rise encodes information on how the thermonuclear flames spread across the stellar surface. This process depends on properties of th...

Investigation of the Effects of JP-4 Addition to Biodiesel-Diesel Blends on the Performance Characteristics of a Diesel Engine

In this study, the effects of JP-4-biodiesel-diesel blends and engine operating parameters on the performance characteristics of a diesel engine were investigated. The experimental tests were performed on a four-cylinder DI diesel engine. The Mixture-RSM method was applied to develop the mathematical models based on the experimental data. The results showed that the fitted models could be prope...
