Heat transfer is of crucial importance to understand the conversion kinetics and the behavior during combustion of fuels such as plastics particles. In this work, the heat transfer onto single plastic resin particles (5x7 mm) by flames and a pulsed laser was studied by recording time resolved series of images with a high speed CCD (charge coupled device) camera. Images in the visible spectrum w...

Cooking stoves, both gas and electric, are one of the strongest and most common sources of ultrafine particles (UFP) in homes. UFP have been shown to be associated with adverse health effects such as DNA damage and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigates the effectiveness of kitchen exhaust hoods in reducing indoor levels of UFP emitted from a gas stove and oven. Measur...

The design and experimental characterization of a burner is described, which has favourable characteristics for the accurate calibration of a range of optical thermometry techniques. The burner supports stable laminar flames and combines many of the advantages of several widely used burner designs without their disadvantages. It permits the application of point measurement techniques, line-of-s...

One of the techniques of minor actinides transmutation is to recycle these nuclides into fission reactors. Two concepts of a minor actinides burner reactor with very hard neutron energy spectrum as well as very high neutronjlux me discussed. The fuel cycle facilities for these burner reactors am assessed to discuss the technical feasibili~ of these reactors. Transmutation of minor actinide in b...

The current work presents the results of an experimental investigation of gas-phase combustion synthesis of silica (SiO2) particles using a multi-element diffusion flame burner (MEDB, a Hencken burner). Silane (SiH4) was added to hydrogen/oxygen/argon (H2/O2/Ar) flames to produce SiO2 nanoparticles at various burner operating conditions ( 0.47–2.16). To characterize the burner performance, temp...

The characteristics of the combustion temperature, flow velocity, CO distribution and NOx emissions of a 10 MW gas burner at different primary to secondary air ratios are numerically studied using computational fluid dynamics software Fluent. The results indicate that the primary to secondary air ratio in gas burner determines the combustion quality through influencing some parameters directly,...

Document History This is the version of a gas burner that contains explicit timer events. In document OLD MS 7/1 a similar gasburner speciication without timers can be found. Document Purpose To show the Oldenburg part of a complete development (gas burner with timers)
