Transitional flame-spread and fuel-regression behaviors under the change of concurrent wind

a synchronic and diachronic approach to the change route of address terms in the two recent centuries of persian language

terms of address as an important linguistics items provide valuable information about the interlocutors, their relationship and their circumstances. this study was done to investigate the change route of persian address terms in the two recent centuries including three historical periods of qajar, pahlavi and after the islamic revolution. data were extracted from a corpus consisting 24 novels w...

Flame spread along a fuel rod in the absence of gravity

An analysis is carried out of the steady spread of a flame with infinitely fast kinetics over a thermally thin solid rod in the absence of gravity. Due to the radial convergence on the solid surface of the heat flux heating and vaporizing the fuel, the spread rate is found to be higher than for a flame spreading over a slab, and the region of the gas around the flame which is affected by molecu...

Effect of Gap Height on Thin Fuel Opposed Flow Flame Spread in the Narrow Channel Apparatus

The Narrow Channel Apparatus (NCA) is designed to establish a fully developed laminar flow profile above and below a thin, flat, solid fuel or on one side of a thick fuel for flame spread investigations. Due in part to its ability to suppress buoyantly-induced flow, the NCA is under investigation as a possible test method for screening materials for space flight applications. This study focused...
