Particle size distribution from biomass combustion is an important parameter as it affects air quality, climate modelling and health effects. To date, particle size distributions reported from prior studies vary not only due to difference in fuels but also difference in experimental conditions. This study aims to report characteristics of particle size distributions in well controlled repeatabl...

The large amounts of emissions released by forest fires have a significant impact on the atmospheric environment, ecosystems, and human health. Revealing main components fuel under different combustion states is great importance to evaluate ecological environment. Here, self-designed biomass system was used simulate parts (i.e., branch, trunk, bark) five tree species branches, three layers surf...

farming organic vegetable and crops have grown as a market desiring commodity. weed control in farms has been costly and laborous and it has always been hard to achieve a proper weeding. a few chemicals are commonly applied in organic farming. thermal weeding with flame burners seems a good solution; however, it has its own drawbacks, such as; damaging the main crops, low performance, being inf...

The photoelectric smoke detector shows different levels of sensitivity to different fire types. The photoelectric detector generally is more sensitive to the gray smoke emitted by smoldering fires, and less sensitive to the black smoke emitted by flaming fires. To improve such a photoelectric detector, the light scattering phenomena by smoke particles have been studied, and numerical simulation...
