Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes a theoretical model for calculating thermochemical properties of the gaseous fuel that burns in the free flame at the edge of a spreading fire in fine forest fuels. Predicted properties are the heat of combustion, stoichiometric air/fuel mass ratio, mass-averaged temperature, and mass fraction of unburned fuel in the gas mixture emitted from the flame-producing zone. These variables depend upon readily determined intrinsic properties of the fuel, the fuel moisture content, fuel particle surface/volume ratio, particle mass density, and fuel loading. Numerical examples are given for several fuel-types, exploring the sensitivity to moisture content, char fraction formed (an inherent property of the fuel that can be modified by fire retardants), and an energy-leakage fraction related to fuelbed opacity. All the equations are given in appendixes.

Download or read book Post-ignition Burning of Horizontal Wood Surfaces written by Richard D. Ulrich and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of wind speed control and variable radiation input on the ignition and continued burning of horizontally mounted white pine wood pieces were investigated. The wind velocity and radiation energy input were varied before and after ignition in programmed sequences. The input flux reduction caused by pre-ignition smoke production was related to the wind velocity. Ignition times were measured with moderate wind, and ignition was prevented with certain wind velocities and heat flux. Measurements made with a calorimeter mounted in the test samples indicated how flame intensity increased with continued burning. Flame radiation intensity was also related to the amount of wind. Measurements were made to determine the amount of energy required to sustain burning after ignition, indicating a minimum amount and rate of energy input necessary for any given time of continued combustion.

This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume describes fire behavior and fire protection of timbers in outdoors and indoors application mainly in construction industry. The Authors’ novel approach considers the relationship between various species and age of timbers and its fire behavior at different thermal and fire loads. Quantitative data of ignition speed and flame propagation as well as generation of heat, smoke and toxic products are discussed. Analysis of fire resistance of various types of building materials based on timber of different species as well as the novel data on the effect of natural and accelerated aging of timbers on its fire behavior are discussed. The main practical methods of fire protection of new and ancient timber buildings and structures to increase its fire resistance are considered. The book should be useful for a wide range of readers: chemists, physicists, material scientists, architects, engineers, constructors and restorers.

Download or read book Ignition of Thick Wood Specimens by High-temperature Thermal Radiation written by F. W Brown (III.) and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation was undertaken to determine the probability of ignition of thick woods by thermal radiation. A carbon-arc source was used to simulate the thermal radiation from a nuclear weapon. Measurements were made to determine the irradiance and time necessary to produce glow and flaming ignition in ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and maple. The results of this study are presented in the form of graphs of irradiance as a function of time for several moisture contents for each type of wood. In all cases on the graphs, the locations of the areas of char, persistent glowing ignition, and persistent flaming ignition are shown. The values of Q, total thermal energy necessary to produce sustained burning (with or without flame), can be easily computed from these data. They range from a minimum value of about 19 cal/sq cm for very dry pine to several thousand calories/sq cm for wood with a very high moisture content. It was concluded that for sound solid woods of a normal moisture content, it is almost impossible to start continued ignition with nuclear weapons of a size less than about 100 Mt at a distance where blast damage would not be severe. An appendix describes the high-intensity thermal-radiation facility used to conduct the investigation. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical intensities for the pilot ignition of some common materials have been determined. An effort is made to correlate data from a flame-spread test in which the specimen is subjected to a non-uniform radiant exposure which data from the pilot ignition of uniformly irradiated specimens in order to understand the effect of the presence of a flame. Intensity of irradiation and time of ignition have been exployed in computation of surface temperatures at the time of ignition. Equations are presented which show the dependence of ignition time and surface temperature upon the physical and thermal properties of density, conductivity, and specific heat.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world many projects have been underway to investigate the conversion of renewable biomass into energy and synthetic fuels by thermo chemical methods such as combustion, pyrolysis, gasification and lique faction. While many of these represent prior art used during the early 20th century, the recent decade since the 1970s oil shock has immeasurably increased the knowledge base for such processes. Much of the new knowledge has been gained by persons who were not trained in classical wood chemistry and there have not yet been many attempts to synthesize the knowledge into a corpus of systematic information. To bring this about the International Energy Agency's Forestry Energy collaboration, the Gas Research Institute, the National Research Council of Canada and the US Department of Energy jointly sponsored a conference on the Fundamentals of Thermochemical Biomass Conversion in Estes Park, Colorado which was held on October 18-22, 1982. The Conference, which was structured around invited plenary papers and contributions from researchers, served as the basis for the papers in this volume which reflect the substantial conclusions of the Conference. During the planning for the Conference, it was realized by the editors in their capacity as Co-chairmen that a major problem in biomass research was the lack of reproducibility between reported experiments and their inter comparison on account of the heterogeneity of biomass materials.
