Processing of soot in an urban environment: case study from the Mexico City Metropolitan Area
Chemical composition, size, and mixing state of atmospheric particles are critical in determining their effects on the environment. There is growing evidence that soot aerosols play a particularly important role in both climate and human health, but still relatively little is known of their physical and chemical nature. In addition, the atmospheric residence times and removal mechanisms for soo...
متن کاملLivestock slaughterhouses waste management in urban environment
The current study presents an investigation on the waste management in the cattle slaughterhouse by the following objectives: a) to identify the existing waste management practices in relation to sources, quantity and characteristic of wastes; b) to identify the situation of production, collection, storage, transportation, processing and recycling, and final disposal of wastes and the problems ...
متن کاملFire detection using video sequences in urban out-door environment
Nowadays automated early warning systems are essential in human life. One of these systems is fire detection which plays an important role in surveillance and security systems because the fire can spread quickly and cause great damage to an area. Traditional fire detection methods usually are based on smoke and temperature detectors (sensors). These methods cannot work properly in large space a...
متن کاملModeling of the Combustion Oscillations and Soot Formation in Aerovalved Pulse Combustors
This paper describes the modifications and evolution of a thermal pulse combustionmodel for predicting the combustion oscillations of an aerovalved 250 kW pulse combustorincorporating a soot formation-combustion model. Validation of the model is carried out from theexperimental data of an aerovalved Helmholtz type pulse combustor, where a sinusoidal air inlet massflow coupled with pressure osci...
متن کاملOn the Dependence of Soot Formation and Combustion on Swirling Combustion Furnaces: Measurement and Simulation
Soot concentration distribution is investigated both numerically and experimentally in methane-air diffusion flame. The experimental work is conducted with a cylindrical swirl stabilized combustor. Filter paper technique is used to measure soot volume fraction inside the combustor. The numerical simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for swirling turbule...
