The pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass has received extensive attention due to its potential as an alternative and renewable energy source. The chemical reaction kinetic parameters, obtained by micro-scale thermogravimetric experiments and optimized by the Shuffled Complex Evolution method, are one of the key factors to represent the pyrolysis process. The bench-scale Fire Propagation Apparatus...
The effect of azeotropic blended fuel on combustion characteristics was studied experimentally in a ceiling vented compartment. A variety of blended liquid fuels with different mixing ratios was employed to explore the thermal performances by the measurement of fuel mass loss rates, fuel and gas temperatures, etc. Results indicate that azeotropism has a significant effect during the combustion process,...
Flame spread over a petroleum-based diesel fuel was experimentally examined at two different altitude conditions (Lhasa plateau 3658m, and Hefei Plain, 50m). Based on the test results, the flame appearance, velocity of flame spread and temperature profile near oil surface were comprehensively characterized. Two types of flame are observed during the flame spread: a blue precursor flame and a yellow...
This paper reports new experimental observations on flame radiation fraction of sooty turbulent buoyant jet diffusion flames in a reduced atmospheric pressure (at high altitude in Tibet) and corresponding scaling theoretical interpretations. A global correlation of the flame radiation fraction with Reynolds number is proposed for both the reduced- and normal pressures. Experiments are carried out...
This paper reports new experimental findings at a reduced atmospheric pressure (at high altitude in Tibet) for turbulent buoyant jet diffusion flames and global correlations for both normal and this reduced atmospheric pressure. Comparative experiments are carried out in Hefei (50m, 100kPa) and Lhasa (3650m, 64kPa) in China to measure the mean flame height and lift-off behaviors. The turbulent jet...
