Upward Turbulent Flame Spread

Upward Flame Spread Over Discrete Fuels

Title of Document: Upward Flame Spread Over Discrete Fuels Colin H. Miller, Master of Science, 2014 Directed By: Dr. Michael J. Gollner, Assistant Professor, Department of Fire Protection Engineering Upward flame spread over discrete fuels has been analyzed through experimental research on vertical arrays of alternating lengths of PMMA and insulation. By manipulating the lengths of the PMMA fue...

Suppression and the upward spread of masking.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of suppression in the growth of masking when a signal is well above the masker in frequency (upward spread of masking). Classical psychophysical models assume that masking is primarily due to the spread of masker excitation, and that the nonlinear upward spread of masking reflects a differential growth in excitation between the masker and the sig...

Turbulent Flame Velocity Model for SI Engine

A new model for turbulent flame velocity of premixed flame in spark ignition engine for Iso-octane air mixture has been developed and validated for a wide range of engine operating parameters. The model developed is a zero dimensional thermodynamic model. The effects of engine speed (600-1160 rpm), equivalence ratio (0.7-1.1), unburnt mixture temperature (532650 Rankine), compression ratio (5-8...
