The Electric Particulate Suspension (EPS) is a combustion ignition system being developed at Iowa State University for evaluating quenching effects of powders in microgravity (quenching distance, ignition energy, flammability limits). Because of the high cloud uniformity possible and its simplicity, the EPS method has potential for ‘benchmark’ design of quenching flames that would provide NASA ...

Every year, there are more and cars on the roads that cause pollution. To reduce it, conventional vehicles have started to be replaced by electric hybrid vehicles. Therefore, average fuel/energy consumption of electric, hybrid, spark ignition self-ignition over a test distance 100 km was investigated. The results were then compared manufacturer's data difference between is shown. largest in fue...

The present study converses the usability of ethanol as a clean and green renewable alternative fuel for spark ignition engine. The study emphasizes not only on the inherent properties of ethanol as a fuel but also elaborately reviews about the performance characteristics of the engine considering the effects of different important parameters like cyclic variability, ignition timing, internal c...

electric arc furnace (eaf) is one of the largest loads in electric power systems. it is highly time varying and nonlinear. its reactive power variations cause voltage fluctuations in nearby system which is known as flicker. on the other hand the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic causes strong voltage and current harmonics in eaf. to this end flexible ac transmission systems (facts) techn...

In this data article experimental data on the compressive strength, and the durability of styrene and bitumen modified sulfur concrete against acidic water and ignition are presented. The percent of the sulfur cement and the gradation of the aggregates used are according to the ACI 548.2R-93 and ASTM 3515 respectively. For the styrene modified sulfur concrete different percentages of styrene ar...
